A British YouTuber's Quest for the Perfect Guinness
A British content creator recently shared his experiences of exploring Dublin’s pubs and comparing the quality of Guinness in Ireland to that found in the UK. His journey, documented on his YouTube channel, has sparked discussions about the differences in the iconic beer’s taste and availability.
Danny, known for his Honest Places channel, embarked on a pub crawl across Dublin, sipping pints of Guinness at various establishments. During this trip, he was struck by what he described as the “creamy” texture of the beer in Ireland, which he felt was lacking in the UK version. He expressed his disappointment, stating that the experience of drinking Guinness in the UK was nothing like what he encountered in Ireland.
“I can never get the taste like I get over here,” Danny remarked. “It’s more creamy.” This sentiment was echoed when he reflected further on the difference between the two versions. “The only annoying thing about Ireland is, which is sad and depressing, is when you get home and you want a Guinness, it is just nothing comparable.”
He likened the experience to switching from a Stella Artois to a Peroni, highlighting what he saw as a significant downgrade. “It is ridiculous. That is literally just Guinness to Guinness in the UK to Ireland. And that is annoying... so when you get back you can never get that.”
Despite these observations, Danny praised several pubs in Dublin. One of the highlights of his trip was visiting John Kavanagh The Gravediggers, which he hailed as serving the “best pint of Guinness in the world.” However, not all of Dublin’s famous pubs met his expectations. He noted his dissatisfaction with the price of a pint at Temple Bar, where he observed the cost of two pints reaching €20.90. “That’s what, £8.80 a pint?” he questioned, expressing his surprise at the high prices.
He also mentioned the chaotic atmosphere inside the pub, noting that he had once received a “dirty glass” due to the fast-paced environment. Despite these criticisms, his overall experience concluded on a positive note after visiting The Guinness Storehouse. He rated their pint as a “ten out of ten” but pointed out a major drawback: “If you want to come here, because you should come here if you like Guinness, but the best Guinness you can get is at the Storehouse. But you have to pay €40, you can't just go there for a pint unfortunately.”
In addition to the Storehouse, Danny enjoyed standout pints at The Confession Box and Mulligan’s, showcasing the varied experiences one can have while exploring Guinness in Dublin.
Meanwhile, fans of the beer in the UK are looking forward to a new attraction in London. A brand-new Guinness microbrewery is set to open its doors in Covent Garden before Christmas. This £73 million venue will span 50,000 square feet across five buildings, offering food and drink outlets, a glass rooftop with panoramic views, event spaces, and a merchandise shop. The brewery will serve 14 different limited-edition brews, including no and low alcohol options, providing a unique tasting experience for enthusiasts of the black stuff.
