I don't even drink the stuff relax lol, but I know what ur saying about some pubs pints of the black stuff bein better than others, always heard ones I work with saying about it and that could be to do with the lines as ur saying. But there's something about the price too, could just be NI but I dunno. Every pounds a prisoner to my da lol and the only reason he went for the dearer stuff is cos it brought all the ole Guinness drinkers to his bar, he finishes at 8 or so so I'll see what he says on it

It might be 1 is draught and the other is for a handpull/real ale tap or something?
Maybe 1 is an 11gallon and the other is a 22?
Or thirdly it could be different prices on different BOTTLES maybe?

There is only 1 draught guiness ive ever seen available to buy from ScotCo or Diageo etc in 20years of being in the trade but there are lots of different bottle collections they do and also small batch specials but normally these appear on a handpull pump not a draught pump/T-bar etc, Also 1 year they also did a green guinness for paddies day but cant remember when it was but all those barrels were bright green not grey/metal colour like normal

Very similar to how all Coca Cola in the world tastes the same despite Coke not actually producing any themselves.

Coke ship out the postmix syrup to licensed bottling plants all over the world, the plants bottle the coke to a standardised recipe using their own water supply (probably distilled).


"Guinness Flavour Extract, a dehydrated, hopped wort extract made from barley malt and roasted barley, is used for overseas production of the stout. The syrup is shipped from Ireland, where it is added at the ratio of 1:49 to locally brewed pale beer. In most overseas markets, Guinness Flavour Extract (GFE) is blended with locally brewed beer to produce FES."


To clear up some misinformation Guinness Draught isn't produced in Nigeria, they produce Guinness Foreign Extra Stout among others.

As far as I can tell (without actually phoning Deagio customer services) Guinness Draught in kegs is only produced in Ireland and is shipped out exactly the same.
All the other versions seem to use the wort extract and water it down with local PA to a standardised recipe.

I have to agree. Simplest reason is water quality. Next i'll be hearing the old "you cannot tell the difference between pepsi and coke" argument.

If someone pulls a pint of guiness from an ale tap they should be shot
