I like Guinness. Never had it on tap--sounds good :) Don't like the IRA. My maternal Grandmother's Irish.

oooh, my... you haven't had Guiness until you've had it on tap, and drawn by someone who knows what they're doing. Most beertenders can't do it right.

Pouring a proper Guiness is an art. Since there is no nitrogen pressurization allowed, it pours very slow under natural pressure.

At Kells, they make a special art of wiggling the pint just as they shut off the tap... making a shamrock shape in the top of the head. It's a thing to behold, and I have yet to see anyone else be able to do it.
