Don’t mind me, I’m just cosplaying as a bubble of nitrogen in a pint.

Mrs Foxy is away for a few days, so naturally I’m doing what any man with a free house would do in such a situation.

Sorting and categorizing my Guinness glass collection.

Not the result we wanted, however this was my first visit to The Rathgar 108 since their refurb and it absolutely won’t be the last. So that’s a win!

These people have absolutely, 100%, no doubt, murdered Mr Topsy Turvy.

The two part pour is a thing I’ll absolutely defend to my death, but take a look at the first pour I got tonight. And I’m in Dublin!

I am, as the kids say, shook.

24 hours in London for work, two absolutely beautiful pubs visited in the Clachan and the George, with two absolutely beautiful pints served.

Bro in law came back from Amerikay with some decent goods…

You have to respect a pub that has its own monogrammed carpet.

And now for the best Guinness you’ve never heard of*

*you possibly have heard of this. If not, it’s 8% and brewed in Dublin for export to Belgium.

115 charges but a bad pint ain’t one. Solid effort at the Etihad.

I don’t ever remember seeing these in pubs, but couldn’t pass up this 30c charity shop find.

600 - 660ml in the main, here’s one from a food market in Malaysia shared between 9 people. Lots of food with small sips! People also mix Guinness & Tiger in the glass that’s very popular!!

If you’ve ever wondered what a 150ml Guinness glass looks like, wonder no more.

Last night was pretty brilliant. Great stadium, great atmosphere, great game.

The Guinness Open Gate Brewery management team 2015-2018 reunited in Singapore. Both still working on Guinness, both still obsessed with quality :)

In 1900 one of my predecessors in this job, JC Haines, wrote that he strongly “advise the circulation of an advertisement in Chinese and Malay languages in native characters”. This later extended to bottles, where the dog’s head logo became a key part of the label to distinguish distributors too.
