Yeah I tried to convince wifey to join me at Smithwicks in Kilkenny, so I can get more tasters but she really didn't want to Jameson in Dublin was good but in Midleton was better and for a reasonable price offered a tasting flight with some of the more upmarket Whiskeys. Didn't have a nap but certainly didn't drive that day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_McGlass Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Graham Wheeler (I think) once commented that Guinness has citric acid added to mimic the light souring that it used to get from the addition of acid beer in the comments section here: http://barclayperkins.blogspot.com/2011/04/stock-ale-in-early-19th-century.html?m=1 This article describes how Guinness was made in the 1940s... "O.B.S.: old beer storage is old acid beer that, like barm beer, improves the flavour of the finished beer although it is itself very unpleasant." https://boakandbailey.com/2018/08/the-magic-guinness-blend-c-1939/ Edited November 17, 2019 by Phil_McGlass Updated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Never seen it here, but I have tried Murphy's stout, still got the empty can. You used to be able to get it from Dan's, but I haven't seen it for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_McGlass Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 There's a Murphy's style stout recipe here, it comes out well... https://beerandwinejournal.com/3g-ag-dry-stout/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzza Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Yeah loved Beamish but was not such a huuuuge fan of Murphys - a little tad sweet for what I thought... But Beamish..... ahhhhh just delectable.... a bit like the "Guinnless"…. but somehow a touch more malt character and an aggravated more-ish-ness ; ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
