Black Sabot Posted May 31, 2000 Share Posted May 31, 2000 Gaff, I'm as Irish as a plate of Arroz con Pollo. Please enlighten me ------------------ "I do like to see the arms and legs fly" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaffertape Posted May 31, 2000 Share Posted May 31, 2000 Sure thing Black Sabot. Guinness, along with most other stouts and ales from Ireland, Scotland and England tend to be served just slightly cooler than room temperature. German, Canadian and American beer tends be served cold (and often in yummy frosty mugs). I think there is some historical rational for this (different ingredients / brewing process) but I can't remember exactly. Oh, and I'm not Irish either, man. I just frequent lots of British / Irish / Scottish pubs here in Canada. Based on my physical condition today (hangover), I frequent them far too much. (Sorry to all for the O/T slant here) GAFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you have already learned the most important thing: threads go O/T very fast... Now, having said that. I think they introduced the horrid mutilation that is ice-cold Guiness around the time I was in Ireland 94/95. There were bars that had two taps, one cold one normal, for older and younger customers. Here in the UK it is mostly cold now methinks. Which does not matter, because it only tastes right on the Irish west coast anyway. Hmm, I know some pubs in Dingle... ------------------ Andreas It is amazing what you can learn from a good book... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
