Guinness - Do people prefer the cold version or original room temp one?
Hi there,
I've always preferred the original room temp Guinness, but a lot of places I go seem to only be doing the cold version and not the original one! I can only put this down to that people prefer it colder? I think they should at least still sell the normal one so people have the option. So do you prefer the cold or the normal one (room temp)? Mark. |

"Room temperature" will vary.
My ideal is just below but never so cool you can't appreciate the flavour. Dublin is dangerous - it slides down the throat like an eel in an oil slickl

I had my pint followed by a couple more free ones that people gave me once they had their photo taken with a pint (I had to oblige).

I know what you mean about Guinness in Dublin as I've been there a few times with friends.

Mark. Prefer it cool but not cold myself. It takes me much longer to drink if it is cold so I sometimes get a couple of pints so that the second will have warmed up a bit before I drink it.

The normal one, and I don't need a shamrock drawn into the head.

It's part of a growing trend towards freezing cold beer. I've even been to bars in Greece where they serve their beer at below freezing point. It just kills the taste.

Room temperature. I usually neck the first before the second one is ready.
They slide down so easily. I can drink 3 or 4 in a few minutes but boy does my stomach complain!! Have to slow down or I get the 'Guinness sh!ts in the morning

If you haven't finished it within 20/30 mins at the side of your lounger it's warm beer. |

I found the factory tour uninspiring and very touristy.
However, it's not the draught Guinness we know but an"export" canned or bottled brew at about 7.5%. I unwittingly (not realising the strength) drank two cans mid afternoon on a cruise many years ago. A short while after I was snoring in the cabin. |

Caribbean people love stout. Why do you think such a popular drink they have is Dragon Stout, which coincidentally is exactly the same strength as Nigerian Guinness! The 'Export' bit of the name essentially means exported from Nigeria to the Caribbean, though you can buy it here in a few places too. |

The normal one.
I never put beer in the fridge, even if it is a hot day, I like it at ambient temperature - if it's cold (the beer or the weather) I don't drink beer. |
