Best Pint of Guinness in CORK? (Ft. First EVER Beamish/Murphy's)

[@Mr.M1STER]

Jaysus that barman in the Castle Inn knows how to pour them. He understands that the aesthetics of a pint are very important. A man nearly drinks a pint with his eyes before his lips ever touch the glass. The dome spot on on every pint just shows that he cares about what he is doing.

Feel like you’ve gotta try a few beamish or Murphy’s in a row in order to get used to it. That’ll give you better context to look at Guinness as well. Imagine if you had started with beamish or Murphy’s and then gone to Guinness in the video could be a different result, might be worth trying out for you.

Bit of trivia. Heineken own Murphys and also Beamish. Almost exclusively Cork stouts. You'd rarely get a pint on draught north of Charleville. Heineken also own Orchard Thieves and Coors Light. Outside of Bulmers, Diageo is their only competitor. And its a bitter battle. I used to work security for Heinekens trucking yard and a painter came on site one afternoon wearing a Guinness shirt. He was told to take it off. One of the lads came out and gave him a Heineken branded shirt. Haha.

Thanks, Guru, for all you do scouting the best pints of Guinness and passing it along. Coming from the states to a pub near y’all soon. Got 9 days in Ireland and plan to hit 3-4 pubs a day w a couple of mates. Been drinking Guinness here for decades and so excited for many pints in many pubs. Have tried Murphy’s here and agree it was sweeter. Never tried Beamish but will. Likely do as suggested here and after a Guinness, have 2-3 of one or the other and repeat on another night just to give them a fair shot.

[@Mr-Squeeky]

The Beamish isn’t my cup either. When it comes to Murphy’s vs Guinness, I prefers Murphy’s from the can w/ the widget, but Guinness is hands down the better pint on tap. Now if we could only get US pubs to consistently pour a pint worthy of an 8.0 score.

[@skip3760]

As a born between the canals dub who also knows cork as a second home almost, has drank in the majority of the boozers leeside I can confidently say that the best pint of Guinness in Cork city is in a neighborhood/regulars shop called Henchys at St Luke's. If there was a title to be held they'd hold it. I'll happily fight anyone at dawn using blackthorn staffs who disagrees with this.

[@blackcats3951]

Murphy’s is the best (macro) Irish stout in the country by miles

[@seanzealony9499]

Murphys the best. We did the 9 pint challenge in Cork. 3 pints of Murphys, Beamish & Guinness in that order. Safe to say Murphys the smoothest. Also on rugby weekend it was €30 for 10 pints of either Beamish or Murphys & €36 for Guinness. No brainer stick to local brew in Cork 👍🏼 This was a few years ago as been hitting Galway last few years.

I think you hit the nail on the head with the comment at the end about being 18 years old and acquiring a taste for Guinness... I think it's the same for someone like yourself that hasn't drank a lot of Beamish or Murphy's. I'm a Murphy's man myself, and I find when I go to Dublin and drink Guinness it's grand, but fairly bland compared to the Cork stouts. It's designed to be mass produced and easy to drink for a reason. Come back to Cork sometime and do a second tour!

Lad sat literally outside the Beamish brewery

[@richiehoyt8487]

(From a first time watcher) I have to say I'm chastened - they do say, count your blessings, and here I am, on Easy Street, these fine, bracing Irish mornings, 3 weeks before Christmas, a first year roofer, erecting some scaffolding on the side, literally thrilling views, dizzying, even, and then I see this, remind myself that there's lads like yourself having to slave for a living, in shabby, dingy "houses of public resort" forcing down this "Guinness" beverage that literally has a milky scum on it, so cloying it literally leaves rings on the glass. (I won't even get into that Cork bilgewater!) I suppose people like you put yourselves on the line so the rest of us don't have to... Thank You for your Service, Sir! Just for reference (I think a few other commenters have averred to this) up until 15, maybe 20 years ago Murphy's and Beamish were crosstown rivals. *(A million loyal Guinness drinkers:* "Yeah, nobody cares, pal, take it back to Cork ya bum!") Back in the 80's Murphy's had been taken over by Heineken and I believe the Carling people had acquired Beamish. There's even a telly ad from the '70's in which the Beamish brewery can be seen, where The Dubliners, with an ironic wink ('The Pint of Plain' and all that) are flogging Bass. (Not sure if Bass owned Beamish at that time, or if they simply brewed it under licence, or what, but *I think* Murphy's got that Bass gig in the '90's?) Anyway The Beamish brewery with their iconic Neo~Tudor 'Counting House' stood astride the River Lee's South Channel at the city's historic South Gate, while the Murphy's brewery with their iconic chimney were hunkered down in the Blackpool district, deep in Northside territory. (Sorry, no Illuminations or Pleasure Beach here!) As such, while certainly not a hard and fast thing, Southsiders tended to be more loyal to Beamish, while Northsiders mostly gave Murphy's their allegiance... historically, this may have had a little to do with the concept of "Tied Houses" as noted elsewhere in regard to the (Cork) Oval. That said, free houses were always the general rule in Cork, tied houses being more of a 'thing' in the Capital. Of course in The Smoke, and in the Country as a whole once you got outside of Cork, Guinness just dominated the field, then as now. Murphy's came in a distant second while Beamish barely even registered as an 'also - ran' - but certainly as we go into the 90's, *across the water* Murphy's and Beamish both, at least going by appearances, seemed to have a much stronger share of the 'Porter' market, one or the other seemingly available alongside the Guinness in most boozers. In fact, while it would be too much to say they ever constituted a real threat to the Guinness behemoth, it is in this period that - coincidentally, no doubt - Guinness shut down their Park Royal operation in favour (afaik) of shipping it in from the Home brewery... So, it came as something of a surprise (to me) to discover that Beamish were struggling, and I don't know whether Murphy's/Heineken were playing the role of 'circling vulture' or 'white knight', but so did it come to be that Beamish brewing went across the Lee to Blackpool. Of course to some tycoons sat around some table the size of a battleship in Heineken's Amsterdam H.Q. it probably made perfect sense for them to snap up what they saw as little more than a small - town microbrewery for a pittance and amalgamate them with their own facility little more than a stone's throw away, when all of it probably just constituted one of their more outlying concerns anyway. But the Pint of Beamish is still here - and for that we must be glad; even if, for me, it was as if I heard that Boh's would now be playing their home games in Tallaght! Still, when all of this went down I *did* wonder would Beamish - the pint itself, that is - be able to retain it's intrinsic character? (I should say that where I currently live, though it *is* in 'Christendom', is not a place I can easily source Beamish, be it on draught *or* in a can... Or, indeed, any beer. Or booze of any sort. So actually, yeah, your gig from here looks like an attractive one! But yeah, your talk of the Beamish having elements of 'roast coffee' etc. in its taste had me worrying that there might be a degree of leakage between 'the vats' up there in Leitrim St., but a quick consultation of the comments section reassures me that, particularly since you put your hands up to the fact that the local stouts aren't your cup of tea, or 'pint of... G?!' it was probably a simple case of having omitted to cleanse your pallette with, I dunno, a 'Snackbox ™®' or something? Anyway, enjoyed the video, even as you were putting an unholy 'Goo' on me. I could write a good deal more, but I reckon it's already starting to get like, 'Never mind the quality, just feel the width' as they used to say in pre~digital days!

No bullshit, I loved my first ever pint of Guinness, when I was 17 or 18. Skulled two in a row in Quins in Limerick (now long gone). Threw up, then got another! Drank Guinness religiously for years after that. Then I moved to Cork and it was all about the Beamish from then on. I feel like the Beamish was more legendary when it was in the original brewery before it got sold to Heineken and moved location. Either way, it's still great tack if you go to the right place. Some of the best Beamish in the universe is in Callanan's, which is one of the best pubs anywhere - worth checking if it opens again.

I’ve recently returned from cork and I followed a bit of the guru trail. The castle inn was indeed the best pint of Guinness I had while there. I can safely say it was the best as it was the only pint of Guinness I had that day. Every other pint was either a beamish or Murphys. And In my honest opinion, Guinness, beamish and murphys kinda taste almost identical. Back to back you could taste the murphys was the sweetest but all pints tasted delicious. Cork had a great vibe and probably my favourite accent in Ireland

[@Irishbeermonk]

Beamish is definitely different to Guinness. I find it a lot more bitter, with a harsher roasted dark barley malt taste. Murphy’s is on the sweeter side, there’s a a more caramel backend to it and I’d say a Guinness drinker would drink Murphy’s quicker than a Beamish. I like all 3 stouts, I personally drink Beamish from the cans, but when I go to the pub, I’ll drink the stout that everyone seems to be drinking as it’s usually the best served and variety is the spice of life. But in all fairness, the Islands Edge tastes nothing like those stouts though, think you had too many Guinness before reviewing the Cork stouts. If you spent a day on the Murphy’s I’d say you’d really enhance your pallet though and enjoy the pint much more.

Your finger-tipping of full pints of Guinness has me on pins, dude. But I know you're a pro

[@teabags8844]

First Pint of Guinness at 16, love at first sup.

I was a big time Murphys drinker but I gave up animal products a couple of years ago and unfortunately Murphys and Beamish still use them in their production, Guinness used to but stopped in 2019 so its what I drink now. Id like to go back to Murphys again if they stopped using them.

[@Rose_19911]

should just go back to them if you liked it mate, life’s too short

[@Jacxel]

@@Rose_19911 How long would life need to be such that harming others for my pleasure would be wrong?

[@billylarding5568]

Murphys is twice the pint of a guiness

Hi I'm going Dublin for my birthday in January can you tell me what's the average price of a pint of Guinness is in Dublin

[@mikecalvert887]

Have you tried Smithwicks Pale Ale on draught,available in Ni not sure about the South though.Highly recommended 👌

[@gragall78]

I'll be honest I couldn't wait till the end so see you try the Beamish and Murphy's😁 I've never tasted them from the tap but I do really like the cans and I'd say Murphy's is more lighter than Guinness almost bland and Beamish is tasty and very creamy at least compared to a can of Guinness

[@eoinmcdonagh3929]

Bang on

[@deckyBWFC91]

I've found Beamish consistently good in cans, where as Guinness can be hit and miss unfortunately

[@thebuzz2010]

Beamish is fucking brilliant

[@andreasos4539]

Boy , you missed shandon stout from franciscaner and the stout from rising sons brewery.

[@jamielockdown]

My own preference is for Beamish, purely because it's a more consistent experience than Murphy's. It's definitely an acquired taste though. If there's a good draw on the Murphy's I'll chance it because there's nothing like it when it's poured just right. I've nothing against Guinness and I enjoy the change whenever I'm up the country. If you're ever in Cork again give Mi Daza a go. It's a wanky craft stout but one of the better ones. A bit less smooth than the main 3 but interesting overall. Don't go in expecting Guinness, it's its own thing.

[@oscarosullivan4513]

Wouldn’t call Mi Daza and it’s ilk wanky. My preference for nitro stout is O’ Hara’s Irish stout

[@rodolfopereira5199]

Beamish is the beast specially in the Gates in Dublin 12 in Crumlin

[@cgtnetwork]

The next time your in Cork definatly check.out the Cornor House in coburg Street, you were almost there in this video. Great pints 😃 great videos.

[@traceyallen11]

Beamish girl till the end, it's all I've known being from cork, supporting local! Guinness 2nd best 😁 Great review 👍

[@telephonic]

Good Craic.

[@russellstein5328]

Hey man really enjoying you stuff from Rochester NY USA.

[@jw_3d838]

I actually did like my first pint of Guinness when I was 18, but I'd been very used to the taste of beer and ale for a while
