Guinness Extra Cold
I just slipped out for a lunchtime pint with a mate of mine Chris who has just arrived back in London after some adventures in New York. After examining the lack of anything decent at the local Goose (chain pub), I decided to order a pint of Guinness as it was the most offensive beer on offering. Guinness Extra Cold (4.2% abv) is a chilled version of the classic Irish dry stout Guinness. The beer is brewed at the James Gate Brewery in Dublin, Ireland and would be a great pint if it was served at normal ale temperature of around 8-12 degrees. Needless to say, even if the beer was too cold, it was still quite quaffable in the limited 20 minutes I had to consume it! I’m really looking forward to getting over to Ireland sometime soon and tasting some hand pumped Guinness in an authentic Dublin Boozer. That will be magic….Anyhow, watch the following video. Not quite as good as the real thing, but not a bad effort.

Hand-pumped Guinness? How about some cask-conditioned Coors Light while you're there?
Guinness is the same cold, bland, kegged waste-of-a-tap in Dublin as it is in London, Bangkok, Helsinki and Rio.
Though thankfully Diageo Ireland have been kind enough to spare us the Extra Cold and Red varieties in Ireland.
