Fuck me! Balls of steel.

I heard from a director of Diageo that the guiness ? tastes better in Ireland cos......its only fukin made there and by the time it leaves and crosses the sea its fuked and only the English will drink it...same shit just stale by the time it gets here lol

Bullshit.

Irish Guinness is exactly the same as British Guinness.

The wort extract is exported and Guinness is brewed in almost 50 countries including Nigeria, which has the 2nd biggest market after Great Britain and nearly 40% of the worlds volume being brewed in Africa..
'Porter Stout' that made the company famous has always been made in London.
In official blind taste tests nobody yet has been able to consistently tell the difference between an Irish brew and a locally produced one.


Irish Guinness kegs in Britain should come with at least a 4 week best before date or they get refused on delivery and sent back, the same as any other keg beer.
Also you need to be pulling at least 11 gallons a week so that the brew doesn't go stagnant in the lines.

I'm not so bad now thanks mate but been a bit shitty, I'm having some time away for a bit while I deal with life.

Since last time I popped in my Dad collapsed and has been in hospital on morphine, still we don't know what was wrong.
The Mrs has been bed ridden with some dodgy virus.
Few weeks later I got the same virus.
For the past week I've had a abcess on the side of my face the size of a golf ball.
I'm in Poland for 10 days for that wedding of her cousins, with said golf ball abcess.
When I come back I've got to hustle my arse off so I can raise as much cash as possible cos is break up time for me and the Mrs.

Like I said, in official blind taste tests nobody yet has been able to consistently tell the difference between an Irish brew and a locally produced one, and that comes from Guinness themselves.

Guiness in Ireland is exactly the same as Guinness in Britain, EXACTLY the same.
Given the same variables on storage and pour the 2 pints are exactly the same and there is no difference what so ever.

Even Guinness say that........

Is it true that you get a much better pint of GUINNESS® stout in Ireland?

• GUINNESS® is GUINNESS® - wherever you are. We always use pure, fresh water from natural local sources for the GUINNESS® stout brewed outside Ireland. That said, in blind tests (with a bunch of highly cynical journalists) none of our sample could tell the difference between Irish-brewed GUINNESS® and the locally produced variety. All the GUINNESS® sold in the UK, Ireland and North America is brewed in Ireland at the historic St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin.

[The Yorkshireman]

To be honest lads it's a strategic move.

[Merlot]

Fair play, gotta look after ya self n all.

The ones I had going of Don's did ok.
2 good ones came out of the 4, a lemony sherbet one and a mango/pineapple one.

The Mango/Pineapple one had killer stone to it, passed the gram test no bother.
Then it died 2 week into reveg.

The lemony sherbet one is still on reveg and may well survive, it smells and tastes awesome.

The Afghans are still flowering with about an oz on each.
Fucking garbage they are.

The Jack Frost more promising but I've only got 2 on and the phenos are like chalk and cheese.
I've another 14 fem beans of that to work through though.

@theyorkshireman do u disagree that u can buy two types of guiness from the brewery if u own a pub? One more expensive than the other? If u do ur full of shit! I've family that have owned and ran pubs for lifetimes m8 and that is the way of it wether ur copy and paste says so or not.....

 

[tip top toker]

long time no see mate how you been? you n Kuroi still together?

All good mate. Off uni for the summer so working full time in a kitchen again. Havn't really had any spending money since september so looking forward to pay day on tuesday, get to spend every penny so trying to compile a shopping list of toys. Think i'll take the plunge and pick up a pax ploom 2 among other things.

 

[Mastergrow]

Also a pub my dad owns in a town with about 8 other pubs, all the guiness drinkers come to his for there pints cos hes the only one that pays that little extra for the good/real guiness. So therefore people can tell the difference. An Irish man not knowing his guiness? Fuck off!

Makes me wonder why landlords wouldn't be able to do that. I mean hell, i can walk into my local tesco extra and buy 2 different types of guiness

Not exactly bud porn but here's a few snaps of my vegging girls,
Pic one is 2 zlh and a smaller psycho, pic 2 is another zlh and my livers cut that just doesn't wanna grow,
Pic 3 is another zlh and my 2 remaining seeds strains which are GTH #1. And a psycho X zlh.
The lemons are fast as fuck they are miles ahead of the others. I've topped em but they still exploding growth. The psy is slowly coming on tho. I don't know what's up with the livers it's not dying but it's not fucking growing any either.
