Thread Name: Draught Guinness
Subject: Draught Guinness- Just another Keg Beer?
In another thread, Magician has written "best Guinness outside of......." etc. I was going to question this anyway but decided to start another thread.

I know some folkies rave over Draught Guinness but how can a landlord make a difference to a pint of Guinness if they keep it at the correct temperature and keep the pipes clean? Surely it comes in sealed metal bins? No need to store it correctly for example. No need to tap and spile it. No need to do anything really.

My position is that so-called Draught Guinness is really a (mostly overpriced) keg beer, (generally) served far too cold which all self-respecting people would treat with contempt.

It would not sell if it were called Keg Guinness. And of course it is one of the most heavily advertised products I know.
