Hold your nose
I don't really get the fuss of it tbh. It's weird as half the people who drink it have probably never tried a different stout in their life
Still got a pub dog and cat, wander freely about the place.
She said they’re doing rooms now too.
It’d be like staying in Fawlty Towers with fine real ale

There are better beers
Fantastic. It looks exactly the same as when I had my first pint of Welsh bitter in there 30 odd years ago.
This is delightful. Really loving cherry beers at the moment and this is fab, got a real authentic mashed cherry taste. Excellent.
That’s because it‘s still exactly the same !
Pint of Steady Rolling Man in Soho.... £7.35

There are other stouts with more obvious flavour. Guinness has a subtle nutty taste at best. It has to be kept right though. Pipes must be cleaned regularly. Anything less and you can tell immediately.
The thing about Guinness is that despite its hearty, Irish rugby-playing image it's not actually a strong drink or gassy like lager. You can have six pints without much trouble. Of course that makes it an ideal session bevvy.
There`s loads of good stouts out there, it`s just that most tend to be locally brewed and only stocked by Free Houses, due to Guinness being a global brand and having all the financial muscle that goes with that.
I`m a big fan of Sam Smith`s stout and I`ve had quite a few locally brewed stouts in and around Grassington in North Yorkshire, that were sublime and quite a bit stronger than Guinness too !
A pub that has no Guinness pump and has it`s own stout on, is almost certainly the indicator of a very well run pub, with well kept beer ( imo ), as the easy option is to just put a generic Guinness pump in, without the hassle and craft, that comes having to look after a real stout.
Also, the fairy tale that you have to go to Ireland to get a good pint of Guinness is just a fairy tale too. If it`s looked after, the person serving it to you knows how to pour it and the pumps are properly clean, it`s the same everywhere.

The best pints of Guinness I've had were in The Abbotsford in Edinburgh closely followed by The Morning Star in Belfast, although I was surprised recently by a decent one in our local Wetherspoons and it was only £3.25 to boot.
