Just got served this pint of Murphy’s without nitro. Some kind of hand pulled tap. Still upset about the head though.

  1. Upset? Fuck that, I’d fire that back at the bar-man!

    **EDIT** If I’m paying for a pint, whether it’s nitro/hand-pumped/gravity fed from Arthur Guinness’ arse, I want 568ml not 440ml

  2. It’s a normal non-nitrogen head. If it was pulled with a hand pump you haven’t any grounds to fire it back. But if it came from a big standard Murphy’s tap then there is something wrong.

    It could be nice. I like non nitro stout.

  3. I would kill for a pint of Murphy’s, even that mess of one. Here in the US its near impossible to find anywhere pouring it.

  4. It’s still making me thirsty for a pint of Stout, I’d let them away with that head on my first pint.

  5. It’s called a beer engine. Common with English ales. Usually tapped to a cask and served slightly Warmer. Cellar temp. It’s traditionally how beer was served before c02 and nitro were everywhere.

  6. Lads, you need not to worry. This pint wasn’t poured in Ireland. But it was poured in an establishment that prides itself on its beer and spirits selection. I considered to report it as a hate crime, the pint setting me back 9€. But it decided not to, they would probably think I’m mad.
