Haha it wasn’t the hardest certificate to get and I am not sure that if I showed up at a bar with it they would let me pour my own beers! I have never really liked Guinness until I went to Dublin maybe it was just nicer there like everyone says. Usually prefer something else but wouldn’t say no to a Guinness now if someone offered me one although probably wouldn’t say no to any free beer .

Have you been to Oktoberfest? You should definitely go because it will be some of the nicest beer you have ever tried (might just change your mind). Been to 2 breweries now and the Guinness Storehouse was awesome. Hopefully you get a chance if you ever visit Dublin.

I don’t like Guinness (or beer at all, I know I’m not a real Brit) but I love seeing behind the scenes at how drinks are made. Sounds really interesting.

Sounds like a fun way to spend some time. Although I prefer a lighter beer, but who can pass on a Guinness? Congratulations on your “certification,” by the way.That’s an achievement I’d like to make someday, too!

I know! Absolute madness. Have you ever tried Guinness Samuel? I think the 119.5 seconds really does make a difference because any other pub usually just pours it and lets it sit for only a few seconds. Much tastier when it sits the entire time in my humble opinion.

We thought it tasted better but were assured that its the same everywhere. But that is a matter of opinion I guess. Just like any beer I would rather have a bottle over a can. Did you know they have a little ball inside the Guinness cans as well to produce the nitrogen to add to the flavour! Makes a good musical instrument after you are done haha.

Oh, now I do want a pint of Guiness; I can’t remember when I last had one, probably a year ago in London. But I’d really like to have one in Dublin (haven’t been yet) as they say it tastes better there

Haha most bartenders won’t leave it for the correct amount of time either so just be glad this one did. Would have made it taste nicer for sure. Just imagine how long you have to wait at the bar on St Patrick’s Day when everyone drinks Guinness! Truth be told we never knew it was a 2 step process either!
By the way, Vegemite is gross and Marmite is way better haha

Definitely didn’t use all 5 of your senses! Adela is not a big fan of Guinness either but I think by just being there you maybe enjoy it more? We seemed to think so. In saying that, I would never drink more than 2 – 3 pints I think.
