Guinness Beer - Tastes different in Different Countries?

2016-05-24 4:40 pm
I'm an American citizen and I live in America, but because I'm of Irish descent, I took a trip to Dublin, Ireland a few years back. I stopped at some of the bars for dinner, and had some Guinness because it was a local specialty, and I LOVED it. I wasn't 21 at the time (US legal drinking age), but as soon as I turned 21, I bought some Guinness here in America, and I would have sworn it was a completely different beer - didn't taste anything like in Ireland.

What is the cause of this? I know the beer has to be shipped, and it's going to be older if I drink it here in the US than if I drink it in Ireland. Does the taste change over time, or do they add preservatives to it in order to ship it overseas? Or is there some US law that requires it to be made differentially?

Residing in a broad bay, Dublin lies between Howth in the north and the headland of Dalkey to the south and the River Liffey separate the town in two making using this town a fascinating town you will have the possibility with hotelbye to go to it. Dublin has given the entire world such famous fictional like: Yeats, Beckett, Joyce, Shaw, and Wilde. Dublin was a UNESCO City of Literature in 2010 so is surely an fascinating city to go to especially if you wish to visit Bewley's Oriental Café ;.Many could claim that Bewley's Oriental Café is the treasure in the crown. Bewley's Oriental Café is an establishment which was built-in 1927.

There are a number of reasons Guinness could taste different in the US. But the first thing to say is that the Guinness shipped around the world is *exactly* the same Guinness as is used in Ireland. There's no difference in terms of the brewing or changes due to different regulations.

One of the reasons Guinness might taste different is to do with the glasses themselves. Anyone who brews beer will tell you that the shape of glass it is served in can have a profound effect on the way it tastes as a result of how it mixes. If you're in an American pub and they're serving a Guinness in a Budweiser glass, then the shape might affect the taste due to the way the pint settles.

The second reason is time. In Dublin, the travel time from filling of keg in the factory to it being emptied in the pub is pretty short. Brewers will tell you that the less time between production and drinking, the better. In Dublin, the kegs are going to be fresh and it's going to flow like water. If you order a pint of Guinness in a pub in the US, then there might not be the same throughput rate so it'll sit there longer. Add that to the length of time it takes to transport it to the US, and yes, you'd expect it to taste different!

Made under licence in the US - or export Guinness which is quite different. What you drank in Ireland was probably Draught Guinness.

Its totally different. I'm in Ireland, I don't drink the stuff but a lot of our alcohol tastes crap when you get it abroad.

You might of tried draught or extra stout.

Draught is creamy while the extra stout is more acidic.

Bottled & canned Guinness,or other real ales for that matter,are nowhere near as good as freshly drawn beer.

Shipping, temperature changes, bottling or canning, will all affect nuances of flavor.

I used to like Guiness but switched to the Australian Sheaf Stout. Try it.

Although many people don't realise it, Guinness has different recipes for different countries. They all produce a black beer with a creamy head - but they don't all taste the same.
