I've been in bierhauses here and seen people order Bud Light and MGD...wtf? Why the hell would you go to a bar that specializes in quality beers and then order garbage?

And Guinness...most Americans hate Guinness. The problem here is that 1) Most bars don't keep a FRESH supply of it. 2) Most bartenders don't pour it right. I love Guinness, but I also know how a bad pour can totally ruin it...most Americans don't know that, so they just assume Guinness is gross.

You summed it up fairly well all of these pubs I went into supposedly specialised in beer etc. Yet it all was flat and didn't taste right for some reason. I know guinness is an acquired taste but people over there didn't pour it right as in they poured it like a regular beer without letting it settle etc and topping it off correctly. Buddy got one and nearly fell off the chair it was that bad. It seems speed is in the order for pub's over there than actually knowing how to pour a drink which is strange seen as they all know how to do cocktails perfectly.
