Brit left stunned after ordering a pint of Guinness abroad
A British YouTuber has slammed the quality of Guinness in the UK as 'depressing' compared to its 'creamy' Irish counterpart during a recent trip to Dublin. Danny, the face behind the Honest Places YouTube channel, has been busy touring Ireland's boozy hotspots, knocking back pints and rating pubs along the way. In a video posted to his channel in March, the content creator was left reeling at what he calls the 'ridiculous' difference in Guinness quality between the UK and its homeland. Documenting each sip he savoured of the black stuff during his pub crawl experience, Danny remarked: 'You can never get the taste like you get over here. It's more creamy.' After further reflection, he added: 'The only annoying thing about Ireland is, which is sad and depressing, is when you get home and you want a Guinness, it is just nothing comparable. 'I feel like I need to stop drinking Guinness when I get home because it is like a completely different pint.' He noted that it felt similar to switching from a Stella Artois to a Peroni - a huge downgrade in his opinion. The content creator added: 'It is ridiculous. That is literally just Guinness to Guinness in the UK to Ireland. And that is annoying... so when you get back you can never get that. But it is what it is - it's only 30 quid a flight if you want to come back.' During his trip, Danny visited some of the capital's most celebrated pubs, including the legendary John Kavanagh The Gravediggers, which he hailed as serving the 'best pint of Guinness in the world.' But not all of Dublin's famed pubs lived up to expectations, with Danny admitting he was left unimpressed by the price of a pint at the iconic Temple Bar. Observing the total cost of two pints, at €20.90, while ordering, he said: 'It is a really good pub, I can't knock the pub, just the prices. That's ridiculous. That's what, £8.80 a pint?' He also commented on the hustle and bustle inside the tourist hotspot, adding: 'First time I've had a bit of a dirty glass because you know they are rushing it out here.' Despite the complaint over costs, Danny concluded his pub crawl on a more positive note after visiting The Guinness Storehouse, the brand's famous visitor centre and brewery experience. He crowned their pint the best of the trip, a 'ten out of ten,' but flagged one major drawback. Danny said: 'If you want to come here, because you should come here if you like Guinness, but the best Guinness you can get is at the Storehouse. But you have to pay €40, you can't just go there for a pint unfortunately.' The content creator also enjoyed standout pints at The Confession Box and Mulligan's, showcasing both the highs and the lows of Guinness tourism in Dublin. Meanwhile, Guinness fans in the UK can finally toast to the opening of a new attraction in London later this year. A brand-new Guinness microbrewery is set to open its doors in Covent Garden before Christmas. The £73 million venue spans 50,000sq ft across five buildings, and will feature various food and drink outlets, a glass rooftop with panoramic views, events spaces and a merchandise shop. The brewery will serve up 14 different limited-edition brews, including no and low alcohol options, offering a unique tasting experience for fans of the black stuff.
