WORST Pints I've Ever Had?

You hit the nail on the head at the end of video. People do deserve good quality pints especially now considering the cost of them. Paying over 6 quid for a terrible pint is a slap in the face.

It's not just Guinness. I live within commutable distance of London and love a walk and a pint or two in some new places. Really hacks me off paying £6+ and receiving a flat, lifeless pint.

Got one a few times in a pub included in the basement of a club in Aarhus, Denmark that unfortunately doesn't exist anymore. The bartenders were Irish. Two elderly gents. It was not just a pulling of a handle when pouring. They pumped it up to app. half a glas. Set it aside for a few minutes and then pumped again and let it settle again. It takes the time it needs they use to say. It was incredibly good

[@nigesutton9112]

Great vid and right on point. In an ideal world you should be able to walk into any pub, especially in Ireland and not have to worry if you’re going to get a good pint of Guinness. And at now over €6 a pint, it’s the least we deserve.

[@neilhatton6018]

Absolutely agree. If it was priced accordingly, so.. somewhere in the region of £1.50-2 a pint you might forgive it! 😂 I mean.. it's still not forgivable, but ya know.. North of £6 a pint for a crappy dirty glass pint like that last one is shameful.

I'd cut London some slack as a lot of places just haven't a clue and people are worse for drinking the stuff. But in Ireland it really is inexcusable and here in Cork there are a few pubs I won't drink Guinness in as it's not worth the money. If you want to charge €6 then grand, but at least have the courtesy to serve a decent pint. I'd like to see a "worst Guinness in Ireland" video next.

My pet hate is when you get served a pint of Guinness when it is flat with literally no head. No pride in service anymore.

[@rosslogan4154]

In Central London especially many pubs deal with migratory trade and don't have too many regular customers. This is the reason why so many pubs in central London get away with selling badly looked after ale and stout.

[@matthewpotter8491]

As a paddy living in exile in the UK, my general opinion is that any Guinness from a chain (slug and lettuce, Wetherspoons, Youngs etc) is general going to be pretty poor. Being presumptive, but most people working there just want a few quid in their pocket (and there’s nothing wrong with that). However, that generally means they take fuck all pride in pouring the pint and don’t even know how to pour a pint of Guinness properly. When spending £6+ per pint you deserve better.

[@josepharmstrong4639]

Have to say, the wetherspoon in Maidstone Kent, society rooms, is as good a pint you'll get in England. The fella that runs the gaff opened all the spoons in Dublin for the firm and takes a bit of pride in his Guinness. It's a good pint so it is.

[@user-jt1jv8vl9r]

When you pay £3.50 or less for a Guiness in some Wetherspoons you can't really complain.

It really matter, the quality. I spent a semester abroad in London some 30 years ago, and I was in Highgate on a wander through the cemetery. Afterwards I had a mighty hunger and a thirst to match. I went to an establishment called The Angel Inn for lunch. I remember that pint because I recalled the care and courtesy with which the barkeep attended to the service. It wasn't a toil. There was genuine concentration at play. And after years of throwing down pitchers of pizza parlor lager, this was something of a revelation to my American eyes. It felt like genuine hospitality, if felt like being cared for in a certain way. As if she knew I'd been on a long urban hike and was alone in the strange city and far from home. That pint was not just refreshing, it was renewing, and it was sustaining. It's been 3 decades and it's a memory of that time as dear to me as kissing a pretty girl on Blackfriar's Bridge or reading Matthew Arnold to a collection of school children on Dover Beach.

[@railman3479]

I've just RE-DISCOVERED the 'secret' to a fabulous pint of CANNED Guinness...The glass has to be as cold as the Guinness you're pouring into it. No more 'BROWN' bubbly heads for me from now on.

[@johnp8131]

To be fair, these places prioritise food, however it's no excuse for a bad beer. A Slug & Lettuce, Cubitt House pubs (Coachmakers) or even a "Spoons" wouldn't be places for a decerning drinker of any type of beer? Would many of their usual punters even notice?

The bubbles on the glass are caused by not cleaning them probably, a glass has to be beer cleaned, the bubbles on the glass is the co2 or in the case of Guinness, the nitrous sticking to grease and dirt on the glass, the bad taste will most likely be caused by that and if they can't clean a glass properly they probably aren't cleaning the lines and equipment that holds and delivers the beer

[@sonnytaggart1781]

Possible idea for a video moving away from the city/town theme is maybe find them isolated old country pubs you know the ones were you need a feckin horse an carriage to acces or pay the arld ferryman, the ones in the shticks and video your journey to them and see what there guinnes is living upto who knows you may find the holy guinnes grail tucked away in middle of no were, no doubt you would meet some right characters who drink in them types of pubs too

Having tasted the real good stuff in Ireland it hardly worth bothering here in the UK.

Near better off with the cans or the Nitrosurge.. at least it's reasonably priced and quite consistent quality. Too much of a pendulum swing in pubs nowadays.. even in a good pub, you can always get a shite barman.. you have to find out who can even pull a pint and just always go to them.. I think a big part of the problem is.. anyone is put behind a bar nowadays. Back years ago, a barman was a profession, you literally had to serve your time at it. My Uncle was a barman, probably began in the 40s or early 50s when he was maybe 14 or 15, worked at it all his life. Back in the old days you didn't just waltz in and start behind a bar, you started washing bottles and bottling in the cellar (in the days they rebottled the stout down below) and worked your way up. It was years before you were let behind the bar let alone pry a pump. Now any 17-18 year old is put behind a bar after five minutes.. without being showed anything.. and people are so pretentious and uppity these days they wouldn't even want to learn or take advice off anyone even if they were showed anything. Like these idiot bartenders that serve people a glass of ice cream and when they're pulled up on it they try to argue back and say "Guinness is a settling beer". Fuckin assholes.

A loooong time ago, this was the late 90's, my mate and I, both barmen at the time, went to London. We went into a pub near the hotel and caveats: this was the business district so we weren't expecting much. We order two pints of the black stuff and to our horror the young lady proceeded to pull a pint into a horrible standard stacker glass from a fking bitter tap, the ones with the long single throw, you know the sort. She pulled it right to the top and handed it over the bar. Fk no we said, you don't serve Guinness like that! She was taken aback, said she had never been told anything different. So we educated her. The pints were still shit, and tasted awful, but at least the head wasn't an inch and a half deep. Last time we ordered Guinness on our trip.
