For anyone that's interested my das 100% certain that he could buy Guinness off Tennants brewery or buy it straight off Guinness, straight off Guinness was 5-6 quid dearer and it's was more creamy, the one off tennants was more bitter. Fuck what u read on the net this is fact.

So you come with your dads speculation and past tense subjective opinion then try to pass that off as fact yet the www.guinness.com website calls bullshit!?

Fuck what your dad speculates this is directly from the Diageo website under 'our brands' and 'beer'........


"Guinness
Top markets: Great Britain, Ireland, Nigeria, United States, Cameroon

Launch: In 1759 Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000 year lease on a disused brewery at St James' Gate, Dublin. It cost him an initial £100 with an annual rent of £45.

The history of this iconic brand and world leading stout is a compelling story of invention, passion and belief. Famous for its Irish provenance and exceptional colour, this most prestigious of black beers is brewed in over 50 countries and enjoyed in around 150 worldwide.

Variants:

There are two main Guinness variants: Guinness Draught and Guinness Foreign Extra Stout.

  • Guinness Draught, sold predominantly in Europe, North America, Japan and Australia, is available as Guinness Original, Extra Cold, Extra Smooth and most recently as Guinness Red.
  • Guinness Foreign Extra Stout is the original export stout and is the key Guinness variant in the Caribbean, Africa and Asia."
(Extra Smooth is apparently sold in Ghana, Cameroon and Nigeria.)

So there we have it, straight from the source.
Original and Extra Cold, we have established already that they are exactly the same product, Extra Cold is simply chilled to 3.5c before serving.

They are the facts and anybody can contact Diageo themselves to clarify at........

Sounds more like to me Guinness were selling freshly made kegs and Tennents were selling em cheaper as they were nearing their use by date, hence the more bitter taste

Not at all man, how about you pay attention to the argument that you started.

The Original and Extra Cold is to confirm that there are not 2 different products like you asserted, those are one and the same.

What I said was u could buy two different types of Guinness, then I found out off my da it was off two different companies. There is something different about the two, thousands of fuckin guiness drinkers can't be wrong. It was yous cunts that started all this cold and extra cold shit, I know fuck all about that so why keep bringin that up. I'm done m8 before u veer onto the next topic lol

In response to me calling Zeddd out over stale Guinness and it being exactly the same product you came with this..........

@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?
And then this.........

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.
(I left out the bits that tried to make me look a cunt)


You were trying to make out that there are 2 different types of Guinness Draught and after speaking to your dad and having the facts put in front of you have since realised otherwise.

Now you are trying to change the conclusion to fit the premise with..........

Comeback at me with something that says tennants don't sell cheaper shit like i said at the start and then I'm wrong....till then, I'm still right!
And this........

There is something different about the two, thousands of fuckin guiness drinkers can't be wrong.
So your contradictory back peddling is here for all to see.



If there's something different about the 2 then Tennant's are likely selling short date like Ribena said or re racked beer (although I doubt Guinness is re racked).

Guinness Draught is Guiness Draught, end of.

What a palava taking hours to come to the same fucking point that was made in the first place, all because of the 'Yorkie talks shite' mentality.

Only in the UK thread eh!

I still say there's something different about them, no back peddling here yorkie. Why would one be 5-6 quid dearer per keg and favoured among the thousands? And this one comes off Guinness/diageo lol....explains itself in my world m8, believe what u want

No the Guinness from Diageo is not 5-6 quid dearer, the probable short date shite from Tennants is 5-6 cheaper.

I wouldn't know anything about cheap shite from Tennants as I've only ever stocked Original and Extra Cold straight from Diageo.

Think about what you're saying mate, if there are fundamentally 2 different types of Guinness Draught (apart from the marketing behind Extra Cold) then why is it that Guinness/Diageo only produce and sell 1?

Explains itself in the logical world mate, believe what you want. ;)
