          My mate 3 Para Geordie Stan Richards said it was sacrilege to pollute Guinness (the God of beer) with anything else. He used to wait until the last bubble had gone from the top and it had settled before he raised it. He was truly a conoisseur.... I see him bollock many a bar maid for screwin' it up. "Treat it with the respect it deserves !!!! he used to say.

            I remember the Wetherspoons opening in Dover,and I went in to sample the Guinness. The barman grabbed a glass,squirted a perfectly acceptable looking pint into it in about 10 seconds,slapped it on the bar and said "That'll be the best you ever tasted!" My reply was "If you'd served it that way in my village you'd've been hung!" The black nectar should take 7 1/2 minutes to pour,in several stages,with settlement time between each,hence the oft asked question after asking for a pint,"Would you like a wee dram while you wait?" In England drinkers weren't prepared to wait,so Guinness developed a quick pouring pump,and slightly altered recipe to allow for this. The pint in question was actually all right,although not "The best" and I drank many more there over the next year or so!
            My worst ever pint of Guinness was also in Dover,when I went into 'The Roman Quay',asked for Guinness,and on lifting the pint could smell vinegar. Took a sip,and informed the barman it was dodgy,so he poured another,same result! He protested "But that couple over there have been supping it all day!" They were f.ckin' French,on a day trip,and as such would drink your piss probably! Never entered that establishment again in the 5 yrs or so we spent there!

                  When i had the pub, i had a couple of paddy customers, they said the Guinness was fine. I didn't clean the pipes every week as recommended and they always said it was good. After a few months, about 6, my bottle went and i thought i better clean them. They said the Guinness was very different and not as good. If it ain't broke...

                  I don't like that very much, caught a fukker in a pub flogging it as Guinness.

                      The best pint of Guinness I have ever tasted was in County Cavan in 88 on a fishing week,the barman would pour us two pints each as the first would not touch the sides as it was like treacle.
