The One and Only Guinness Tour: Behind the Gates

[@davidwarburton2915]

It is easily the best mass market beer in the world. When you think about how much of that stuff they make, and the high level of quality at which they make it, it’s truly impressive.

[@charlvandenberg9997]

Gents, your channel deserves a whole lot more views! Keep up the good work! Loved it! Great insight into an obviously amazing brewery. Thanks and cheers!

[@Geterbrewed]

Thanks so much, we enjoy making the videos for the channel and have some great plans for future content

[@Johnnydiamondlonglive]

Dee-lightful mate, my mouths waterin for a pint, God be with ye.

[@NoTimeForLies]

Thanks for a great video. 👍 I enjoyed the tour. That is one amazing brewery!

[@lespattison704]

I am from New Zealand and I visited Guinness brewery but I never saw what you showed us .thank you for the tour. To make Guinnes you need to brew the roast Barley on its own and add to a pale ale recipe and boil again and it is top whole. It is just the way they do it. Brewers Arms New Zealand absolutely love your program.

[@Geterbrewed]

Thanks so much Les , yeah we haven't seen any other behind the scenes tours so it was a privilege to get such an opportunity

[@jeffroach3722]

This was so good. Even though Guinness/Diageo is "big beer", it's still inspirational to the homebrewer. If anyone wants to know how important Guinness was to the community, they should read 'The Search for God and Guinness '. Guinness is an integral part of beer history.

[@Geterbrewed]

Thanks so much Jeff, we weren't sure how this would be received but aimed to be transparent on our intentions to give back to the homebrew community and what Guinness has achieved in terms of beer history is phenomenal

[@richardwilkinson77]

@@Geterbrewed Guinness is big beer in two senses. They are owned by Diageo obviously, but anyone who has visited St James Gate will understand the history of the company and the community it forms a part of, so it's a big part of Dublin in that sense as well.

[@wibukaminolepofficial]

I've never drunk Guinness but many people around me always talk about this drink because it tastes delicious, so I'm curious about the process of making this drink.

[@darrendowson5081]

I have toured Hook Norton, and I have toured Griffin (Fullers), breweries. Wonderful places to visit, but that scale you witnessed there, wow! Thanks for a great video.

[@hugh.elliott]

I've been using dave lines guinness extra recipe for years and its as near as be damned .. 7lb/2lb/1lb pale malt, flaked barley, roast barley with 1oz/3oz bullion/northern brewer.

[@Geterbrewed]

Do you pour on nitro?

[@larmckenna]

@@Geterbrewed Could remove the flaked barley if pouring on on nitro. But the recipe does call for 10% roast barley so close enough to what was suggested in the video. @hugh are you cold steeping or fully/partially mashing the roast grains?

[@vikramjitsingh4538]

What yeast do u use to ferment it?

[@dbdb8934]

Amazing, well done. Having roast a little of my own barley I know how much energy it takes to do it. Cant imagine there energy costs on that scale.

[@Geterbrewed]

Yeah the 4 roasting drums where running whilst we where doing the tour , we knew the scale would be large but didn't foresee it being at such an incredible scale, I wouldn't want to be paying that energy bill forsure

[@agentbertram4769]

Brilliant documentary!

[@Geterbrewed]

Thanks so much

[@seanjennings9042]

Great video and great tour of the brewery. Mind blowing scale. I was hoping you might ask Graham about flaked barley's role in the recipe. It seems to be commonplace with most "clone" recipes to aid with crispness and help give the creamy long lasting head. Also, I'm convinced they either cold steep the roasted barley or add very late in the mash as 10% seems to bring a lot of astringency for me. Cold steeping seems to eliminate that.

[@Geterbrewed]

They don't use flaked barley or indeed any other crystal malts I did ask about this. The creamy head is definitely obtained from the nitrogen. I haven't had a chance to trial the recipe we got given but will do.

[@colbydowns2268]

[@dylanjonesbragdybachhomebrew]

Loved this vlog, but also wondering if you'd consider making a 'Geterbrewed' all grain all in clone kit, maybe scalable as the homebrewers brew different batch sizes? I would definitely purchase. Keep up the content, images avid follower.

[@Geterbrewed]

Thanks so much Dylan, we choose to direct people to the info on this so they could create the batch size that suited them via the custom grain kit : www.geterbrewed.com/customgrainkit/ We are nearing completion on a new website so will add more clone kits when that piece of work is complete

[@albolfoni838]

Considering how massive the production of Guinness is, to keep the quality and great consistency they all do a great job

[@jamesgoacher1606]

I was never fond of Draft Guinness when it started to be available. I preferred the pint Crown Corked bottles. I did get a yeast strarters from those bottles many years ago. It would be in the mid-60s when I was in guided tour of a local brewery Hanson Hardy of Kimberley Nottinghamshire. One of three local brewerys and also Bass easily available. The main mashing part was a little more agricultural than what you showed but the fermentation area was operating theatre like. On our way to another part of the tour we passed a sterile looking area full of stainless steel kit and I recall vividly the guide Mr Hanson himself sort of dismiss somewhat as the bit which was to make the new fangled Keg beer which women liked.

[@Geterbrewed]

Such a great experience a brewery tour, thanks for sharing your experiences

[@Justin-le4ip]

Great video thanks for sharing 🍻

[@happymonk4206]

Some people love it and some don't like it. I am proud to say I love it. I always say to me its like mother's milk.

[@miamiwalking]

Are the Pints served in the Gravity bar 16 oz. or 20 oz. ? I've seen some bars serve Guinness in the 16 oz. glass but charge you the 20 oz. price. The glass design is the same.

[@Geterbrewed]

I didn’t check at the time and can’t remember it being discussed

[@13gears]

It's all in the water, yeast, and grain. Phenomenal recipe, nothing else is a Guiness.

[@MrVampireBill]

I was wondering whether all the draught is the same liquid regardless of its destination? So when they put it in those tankers is it the same stuff that goes in the kegs, draught cans, nitrosurger cans?

[@Geterbrewed]

Yeah same liquid for draft as in the can, only difference is the kegs are packaged in Dublin the cans are completed in Belfast so trucked up the road, you a Guinness fan?

[@MrVampireBill]

@@Geterbrewed that’s awesome, thanks. I love it mate, definitely my favourite beer. A load of my family moved from Manchester to Comber when I was young so I grew up with it and never got tired of it.

[@Geterbrewed]

@@MrVampireBill they have made it so drinkable , it appeals to such a wide demographic now

[@payneee9082]

Great video, although I love real ale, you can’t beat the occasional Guinness and watching the quality checks you can see why it’s so consistent

[@Geterbrewed]

Thanks so much

[@davec4955]

It's a shame about the yeast not being available. Back in the 1980s I used yeast from bottled Guinness when it was still sold with yeast in it ! as recommended by Dave Line.

[@Geterbrewed]

I guess they need to keep some secrets to themselves but i don't think even if we had access to it that it that it would be any threat to them at the scale at which they operate. I think the flavour comes more from the roast malt

[@davec4955]

@@Geterbrewed a lot of clone recipes also include about 10% flaked barley which I think helps with head retention.

[@AllianceOfCalgon]

@@Geterbrewed He did say use a clean ale yeast. I tried lager yeast before but i still prefer Irish ale. Thanks for the video, very interesting.

[@scoobtoober2975]

Spoiler, they blend in old beer maybe 4-6 months old, maybe oxidized on purpose. That is some of the tang/twang. Also some ph adjustment maybe. Back in the day it probably had some brett going on. Just about all beer did. It just didn't sit around much either. Probably gone in a week each batch. Some stories of kivik, scandanavien beer. Was made, then all drank up the next day. Or two at the most. It was a fun time back then. Very nutritious if others foods were scarce and not in season.

[@Geterbrewed]

We didn't see any of that during the tour and with modern food standard accreditation i would say they would have a hard time explaining adding oxidised beer. Interesting point on the kviek , i wondered if the yeast thats so closely guarded could be a kviek strain? Given the turnaround times it seems like a possibility

[@paulnicholasadams]

Bit confusing you said all the beer was sent to Belfast but then you showed they keg on site?!

As much as I love Guinness, I must say the amount of false claims in this video is completely unnecessary! "The biggest brewery in the world" "The most technologically advanced brewery in the world" ... With just a tiny bit of research it is very easy to find out that those claims are absolutely false.

[@Geterbrewed]

Thanks for your feedback. We have taken our tour guide and experience at face value and perhaps it would have been better worded as one of the biggest breweries and one of the most technologically advanced breweries.

[@richardwilkinson77]

I disagree. Guinness has a unique place in the history of brewing and I still think that they are in touch with craft beer. CBC did a video that defined craft beer as a race to the top rather than a race to the bottom and I feel Guinness still strive to achieve that.
