Best Guinness in CARRICK-ON-SHANNON?

[@bonniejamie]

Dara, whatever else you do on KZbin, please never stop making videos like this. Old school Guru. 25 mins well spent.

[@upstatnyer]

Guru, I love that you're talking more about the pubs themselves. Fair play.

[@IrishInsomniac76]

Darragh - you need to trust your gut when scoring. It doesnt need to be comparable it just needs to feel right to you in the moment.

[@Cayres9]

Hello @The Guinness Guru new subscriber here glad i found this channel as i love Ireland , my Granny is 95 from Dublin originally now in the UK and the Guinness is keeping her going strong , she has dementia but still enjoys the Craic and sings along the Dubliners old band but very fun to listen to.

[@tragicgarlic9019]

The Guru is back playing the pints - awesome stuff !

[@alexburke4569]

wish we had pubs like this in the states

[@stabcitySB]

Class review, must be tough to move on when the pints are savage!

[@petermcquade1003]

I visited Carrick on Shannon in 1997 and I loved it! So many boozers in such a small place. This video has brought some great memories back of that trip, thanks Guru! I do have to say that back then, the best Guiness I had on my Ireland tour was in Enniskillen. I stopped at a lovely old girls house next to the Railway Station in Carrick . I had a good chat with her and she thanked me for that because the other 2 rooms had Europeans in there and they didn't talk. She offered me a whiskey and I opted for a Powers because I'd never had it before. Lovely! Her cat called Jack came in through the cat flap and just stood next to the milk dish. The old girl said don't worry Jack, it'll be there in a minute! She put some milk in the pan, warmed it up, and then put it in the milk dish. Jack is not moving! She then gets the Powers whiskey bottle, fills a cap full of it and pours that in to the warmed milk and stirs it. Jack the lad is now on it! To this day I have never seen anything like it! Thats why I loved my Ireland trip!

Leitrim Tourism Board is a tremendous Guru line 😂 savage pints lad! Up the stout!

[@albertni1504]

Hey Daragh, whats up. Albert in berlin here. A bar in berlin is claming that they are going to offer the best guinnness (galway standard) in berlin starting on October 22nd. They claim they will do this by increasing the nitrogen levels from 70% to 75%, among other optimisations. I was chattimg with my irish roommate and he said theyre the real deal. If youre planning an outing in germany‘s capital city, i suggest that it be on this date and end in this pub. The pub is called Zossi by the way. I have already curated a list of the top guinness in berlin, the highest being a 6.8, happy to send it along also if required

[@GG-ut9ms]

I’m coming to Ireland for the first time in November, can’t wait for some real pints. US pints aren’t the craic

[@TheSqueak99]

Craic 😎

[@gitzersmitzer4516]

That really dosent make sense 🤣🤣

[@gitzersmitzer4516]

But you will enjoy the pints here and have the craic 🤣👍👍

[@mikedevaney3507]

This was a great video! Carrick is a great spot....hate watching these sometimes though because now I want pints haha

[@wdaly]

The timing of the music at 9:02 onward while describing the pub was brilliant 🤣

[@GetWithItTek]

I think when doing multi-pub tastings, or any tasting really, start off with a canned guiness poured as best you can in a glass. That way its a base line for all the pubs to come, and there isn't any "bias" in your mind that the first guiness automatically will be at an advantage.

[@caseyodonnell9837]

Not a bad shout

[@Backpfeifengesicht2000]

Great review! I agree with your decision to pay for the pints yourself. No conflict of interest there…

[@caseyodonnell9837]

The best pint of Guinness is without doubt in Fealty's, Bangor Co.Down. Two taps, one cold, one room temperature. The perfect balance and taste.

[@johnr.wilkinson4325]

Been going through all the content from the start. Absolutely love the content mate and I am definitely going to visit some of pubs you have been too in Ireland. Keep up the good work!!

4 quid is incredible. Hard to find that nowadays. Hard to believe they're making money on that. 20 quid sort ya for a few cold ones 🤯

McNultys bar in Creeslough €3.80 a pint of Guinness

[@SaorEire]

You should make it up to Cookstown in Tyrone.

[@oracleoftruth]

I'd like to know what's wrong with a pint if it gets 8.6. Like why isn't it in the 9s?

[@MacBhloscaidh1]

9s are the best of the best, there'll never be a 10 so 8.6 is really solid

[@BearSharkHybrid]

8.6 is an incredible score. As Mac said there’ll never be a 10

[@oracleoftruth]

@@BearSharkHybrid will there be a 9.9? If the scale isn't out of 10 then what does an 8.6 even mean and if it is out of 10 then it has to be possible to get a 10..if the scale is really out of 9 he should say

[@BearSharkHybrid]

@@oracleoftruth if you give a pint a 10 and then you get a better pint in the next pub, where do you go from there? Go look at Dave portnoys pizza scale for reference. 9.4 is the best he’s ever given but there’s always room to go higher

[@oracleoftruth]

@@BearSharkHybrid you have to have an idea of what perfect is. You don't need to go higher if you have the perfect beer (or pizza). But if the scale doesn't go to 10 what does it go to?
