It was taken over by Greene King who closed the Abingdon brewery and now brew it at Bury St Edmunds in East Anglia. Same is true for Ruddles.
July 29, 20224 yr Author I have had some Guinness in the Metro Sports Bar in LK Metro, 220 baht a pint, tbh the same as in the U.K., fully air conditioned and over 12. TVs, no girls pestering you. Around 30 farangs in the bar, the Thai lady knew exactly how to pour it albeit I think she was was frustrated she had to do 75% let it settle then 25% to top it up. i spoke with owner, very popular seller he sad, it was imported from Dublin unfortunately when the current stock runs it out it takes a month for the next delivery. I am not sure why they didn’t re order before they ran out ?

It is so thick and creamy that it takes about 2 minutes to pull a pint which is usually done there by filling the pint glass up to about 3/4 full then letting it rest for the head to slowly go down for about 90 seconds and then topping it up very slowly. In the old days the pubs were closed after lunch and didn't open until 5:30 in the evening. If you went into the pubs at opening time there would already be about 15 pints of Guinness already 3/4 pulled waiting on the bar so that the punters could get served more quickly. I have just come back from a week in Chiang Mai and found an Irish bar in the Old City that sold Guinness....It was actually very good, but not the same as the stuff we used to get in Dublin. https://www.omalleys-thai.com/ https://www.omalleys-thai.com/drinks-menu/ That's about 283 baht a pint! I think they might be taking the <deleted>. ????

August 1, 20224 yr In the spirit of research, last night I checked out a pint of Guinness in the Post Laser Disc Pub here in Hat Yai. Not a bad pint at all, though at Bht265 it ought to be good. Edited August 1, 20224 yr by Stocky

August 1, 20224 yr Many years ago all Public Houses had cellars. These were necessary to lower the air temperature to about 55 or 56F. Which meant that traditional ales were served at the right temperature. With the coming of electricity and cooling systems most recently built pubs don't have cellars.
