Why is beer so hideous in America

[Nooomoto]

love guinness. creamy and smooth and rich! went to texas road house and ordered a guinness. lady bartender poured it real fast and handed me a mug full of foam. i told her guinness takes time to pour... you have to basically dribble it into the glass slowly. she said she aint got time for all that nonsense, do i want the beer or not? she doens't have a clue, she doesn't like the beer (my assumption), and pouring a beer slow doesn't get her a tip any faster.

another point. if you drink in imported guinness here inthe states, itis much different than at the source. beer does not travel well. it oxidizes when it is splashed around. it gets off flavors when exposed to temperatures. and it ages over a short period of time...

if you want a good representation of tap beer, you MUST go to the source. American beer is shipped all over America, something NOT commonly done in Europe. In europe, beer is typically drinken at the source, or very close to it. Here, you can get draft beer 3,000 miles away from the source. so before you make comparisions, to be fair, make sure you are drinking the draft beer where it is made.

We have quite a few microbreweries here in Miami, so I've had fresh beer. To me though, nothing beats a cold Dinkel Acker Dark from the bottle into a glass...which is the only way I can get it. Jesus, I want one now.

Also, I've had great tasting Guinness poured properly, it's just REALLY hard to find around here as most places in Miami are high volume most of the time so a server taking the time to pour is a rarity.

love that beer.... dark, lightly hopped, slightly sweet, moderate body, rich creamy head with rings all the way down the glass when you drink.... ahhh!
