How #Guinness used to be served.

@VinnieSull1van @ChelseaDan5 @PintsO_Guinness That's a pint of Plain not Guinness. Old fashioned Porter

@VinnieSull1van @ChelseaDan5 @PintsO_Guinness This is original stout with carbon dioxide. The bubble has a larger surface area. Carbon dioxide tastes bitter. Modern Guinness uses nitrogen - very small bubble (surface area) and nitrogen tastes sweet. Took years to perfect. This why bottles of Guinness taste different.

@VinnieSull1van @ChelseaDan5 @PintsO_Guinness Except it’s not Guinness. This was a report from N Ireland on the demise of porter in the 1970s. Then, people asked for a pint of flat. Looks like Guinness, but it isn’t.

@VinnieSull1van @ChelseaDan5 @PintsO_Guinness All absolute nonsense of course. The pouring of it was always (and still is) a marketing ploy. The longer the drink is sat on the bar waiting, the more likely people are to order it. I've done blind taste tests in my mates pub - no one can tell the difference.

@VinnieSull1van @ChelseaDan5 @PintsO_Guinness Sorry, that's porter, not stout. Guinness is a stout.

@VinnieSull1van @ChelseaDan5 @PintsO_Guinness That's porter not Guinness

@VinnieSull1van @ChelseaDan5 @PintsO_Guinness Guinness is a stout not a porter

@VinnieSull1van @ChelseaDan5 @PintsO_Guinness There's a girl in a pub near me that still pours it like that 😂

@VinnieSull1van @ChelseaDan5 @PintsO_Guinness Guinness is stout, not a porter
