E004 – To Arthur! The Guinness Show
In this episode, John and Brian explore the differences between Guinness Extra Stout, Guinness Draught in the Pub Can and Guinness Draught in the Pub Bottle. Now you’ll know what to get when you go to the store!
The Guinness Factor:
OK… Here’s a couple of additions and corrections.
Yes! That’s Steve Jones having a beer with John back in the early days… Make sure you check the Photo-Album to get a better look at that motley crew! (or crue? <grin>).
Also… When Brian was telling his epic story about the drinking-and-driving taxi driver in the Bahamas, he called the fine beverage outlet “The Old Pond Liquor Store” when it was clearly the “The New Pond Liquor Store.” Don’t worry… We’ve spoken to Mr. Od (Trip, the camera guy) about this teleprompter mistake!
Now go grab a Guinness! To Arthur!!
Each episode just gets better and better. Great work!
Great episode guys, love the cameo lol! First time around I was listening to the podcast, this time I got to WATCH it. Freaking Hilarious. As for the 250, to me, it’s not that special because it lacks that creaminess. Let us know what you think
keep it up folks!
Not sure that this is true:), but thanks for a post.

Great show guys – I’ve been drinking Guinness for a number of years, as any good Irishman would, but I guess I’ve been drinking it wrong all along. I bet it’s going to be even better now that I know the right way to drink it. Sorry you didn’t get to have a 250 John, it’s pretty good. I’d also like to give a shout out to Trip your camera man, great job, keep up the good work.
I like the Guinness Extra Stout best in bottle, and the Draught on tap, especially in a black and tan. Finally put up the blog that I’ve wanted to put up. Check it out! http://www.craftbrewadvocate.com. Cheers!
Thank you Barry We appreciate that you checked us out and commented on our site… Always liked what you do keep spreading the word!

Hi Guys, Just discovered your show, looks like you have a blast making it too
Just picked up on the comment that the 250 was the first new Guinness in a long time and thought I’d let you know that Guinness have released several new beers over the past couple of decades, but all were either doomed to failure or just vanished. In the late 90’s they release the St. James’s Gate series: Wicked Red Ale, Pilsner Gold, Wildcat Wheat and Dark Angel Lager. They went on limited release, to much fanfare, but quietly disappeared. I actually attended a brewers tasting evening at Guinness where we were invited to try some other new ones, but nothing ever came of them. Pity really. Around the same time they release Breo, which was billed as a White Guinness, but in effect was a very orangey wheat beer. Most people take all of this as being a response to the first wave of craft/micro breweries in Ireland at that time, sadly, most of which have since perished (we’re on the second wave now!).
More recently they release the Guinness Brewhouse series, purporting to be a set of recipes from their old brew logs. There was supposed to be one released every six months, but they really had little to differentiate them from regular Draught Guinness (pronounced Draft – crazy Europeans
) so they quietly disappeared after the third release. These were Brew 39, Toucan and North Star.
If you want to try an interesting Irish Stout, have a look for O’Hara’s or some of the other micro-brewed beers.
Oh, and here’s what I thought of the Guinness 250.
Кажется, это подойдет.
