See in England we have flipped it on it's head. The English have turned complaining and hating on our own history into a national pastime, such that self hatred is as uniquely English as drinking Guinness is uniquely Irish.
My solution was to move to the UK, in general English people have no problem with Irish people being openly patriotic at all. Unless of course they too actually hate (all) foreigners.
@@zenith251Got fuck all to do with yanks, youse just like imposing yourselves everywhere you don't belong. You have zero idea about ANYTHING AT ALL in this video, or why it even exists.
British man here. Not much of a drinker, but when I did used to go to the pub I used to drink Guinness. It was unique, reliable and I liked the taste. Then about 10 years ago people started trying to talk to me about my pint. I have no more interest in discussing Guinness than I do in discussing the bottle of coke zero I may or may not sneak into the cinema. I no longer drink Guinness..
wow great point. im a coffee drinker and its the same in the coffee world. Ive been oscillating between "all this coffee voodoo is made up, coffee is coffee" and "oh actually these beans taste good and those beans taste like river water." 'different strokes' applies, but only to some level. it really is all the same and doesn't matter... unless 😳
A incredible insight. I always thought of it as a alternative to food and treated it like a soup, often in the past having to choose between the two. Served with a side dish of cigarettes. It's interesting to see how meaning can change over time.
Ireland is one of the few places where people will stand in the street with their pint, not even within the confines of a beer garden. They are like some kind of wild lion refusing to settle at Longleat Safari park.
As an English person I can report that the Guinness effect has crossed the water and taken hold here, especially amongst young men who like to discuss the creaminess of their beverage despite a lot of the Guinness served here tasting like runny bin juice. It is apparently now the most popular pint in the UK for the first time ever. Arthur Guinness himself will be smiling down from heaven.
My old man hated it here in Aus, because he'd go to a pub in Sydney after a day on the tools, only to be greeted by two tools in suits who ordered two pints of Guinness which takes - if you're counting - 230 seconds, or ten seconds shy of four minutes - when he just wanted a schooner of New that takes maybe 20 seconds to pour, including getting the glass.
Fellow Englishman here, always hated Guinness but flew to Dublin just over a year ago and thought it was worth another try. Best Guinness I've ever tasted. I'm still not a beer guy in general, and it was almost 8 euro on tap so I wouldn't even buy it again, but there's definitely a big difference.
This video felt like a bit of a break from your usual format, more somber and urgent in its message. And as the video went on, I became increasingly worried that this was not the usual light banter that I have become accustomed to. But then you skedaddled at the end and all my anxieties were relieved.
I had someone tell me just yesterday that they had the worst pint of Guinness they had ever had. When I probed further, it turns out the pub was in an area they hated and they also had just had a really bad day. lol
As a Buckfast drinker from Glasgow (lets not get too deep into the connections )we`re in the same place (without the historical{post collonial } implications of the Guinness families ). Also Aye, IM half scoooped IM sorry
I was on top of a mountain in Fermanagh with my wife after a nice trek up the stairway to heaven. When we got to the top, the tourists on front of us took out a few cans of stout. I was thinking to myself "they must've brought a few pint glasses in the bag". They drank the Guinness draught straight out of the can and I was disgusted. They could tell I was calling them "dirty *#+ts" in my head over and over again. Blasphemy.
Those jackeens still miss the crown and being part of the empire! They can’t even change the tan street names or buildings! The dubs would make you sick 🤣
Guinness is a great post workout pint if you're somewhere outside of home and people keep offering you ipas, but my local pub will always be the best pour of stout.
I removed alcohol almost completely around five years ago (I wasn't an alcoholic). The other day I thought I'd treat myself and had three beers. Man on man, alcohol literally feels like a soul sucker. Only now after a massive break have I realised what a positive affect removing alcohol has had on my life. peace.
The best Guiness was unpasturised triple xxx porter in bottles up until the 70's. You had to pour it into the glass slowly and leave the sediment in the bottle. Me Da and all his mates drank it - it was gorgeous with a cheese sandwich made with plain bread or a wheaten farl.
Everyone got a guiness glass at home, that he found somewhere standing around in the city. but you would never buy guiness unless its only 0,20€ for a can. then u buy 48 cans.
I love Guinness, and really liked what I tasted in Ireland as opposed to the imported US beers, which are still tasty. Definitely tasted a bit fresher at the Guinness factory, but then again, may have just bee how a product tastes after going through a literal tour about it. You really did hit the nail on the head on how people in their 20s tend to get obsessed with tedium to overcome the massive delay between childhood and 'adulthoood' that seems to never truly end. Just like a guy with two gay friends, I think you should collaborate with MechaGamezilla, my favorite Oirish youtuber.
I sucked air through my teeth at the cringe of your comment hours ago and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it, or cringing over it since, or breathe normally since. Please don’t come back to Ireland. Yours sincerely, Mr Guinness
@@finnmoran I bought canned Guinness in Germany and it fucking sucks, I drank that shit years ago and it was great, but now it's kinda lost a lot of flavor, probably a brewery branch issue
@finnmoran I don't understand what's so cringe about that. Unless you have something real to say, it's been a pleasure making a negative impact on your short time on earth.
This sociological report needs to go further: What about African drinkers in the various countries of Africa, where it is sold in bottles. And the Caribbean drinkers who drink it in the West Indies and the Diaspora of Afro Carribbean drinkers who drink in bottles on the streets of London...You could make a whole series on this!
I don't know what you've done with the camera but its nauseating. Keep up the good work. The camera smoothing is weird. Also, is Dublin usually this dark or did you apply some sort of filter? Or was the filter the Guinness we drank along the way?
Plenty of shots here have shallow depth of field, shooting wide open, hence blurry background/foreground. Perceived smoothness possibly some noise reduction due to low light conditions.
At Uni I used to have a can of draught G on the morning walk to work(I dropped out). It was the perfect combination of creaminess, flavour and alcohol. Just what you need before a split shift in a Best Western.
I’ve been moving from IPAs when I first started drinking to creamy dark beers and guiness was one of the stepping stones its almost like im into dessert beer if such a thing exists
As anything else in y’all’s culture, it’s about the USA. Americans have been coming to Dublin and drinking your delicious brown pudding-like Guinness, and then going back to the states to suck weak skim milk Guinness from a deflated teat; we hold Irish Guinness up as the epitome of a distant and superior symbol of foreign authenticity, a trope which you Irish import and scale down so that it applies to your own locale. In part because Guinness is actually delicious and you cannot look beyond your shores for a more delicious meal in a can. I’ll leave the rest of analysis up to you Frankie.
Try Guinness Extra Stout. Not Draught. Draught is carbonated with a combination of CO2 and Nitrogen. Extra Stout is more Like Guinness used to be a century ago. More bubbly and without the creaminess of the draught.

"They see Guiness as a symbol of Irishness: one of the last few ways you can be openly patriotic without actually hating foreigners." Too cold.
