Jesus Christ🤦♂️Just drink a shot of whiskey or something if you wanna get fucked up. Why these abominations..
“Dude”
Snakebite
I’ve heard of it alright. Never would have served it to someone though. You’d be flamin Eamonn
Can I have a Guinness, a cider, and by any chance could I get the lend of a large jug?? Oh and I’ll need a straw with that please.
Why do so many people think that mixing drinks gets you more drunk. I know people who swear it but there’s no evidence that it does.
They’re at it again.
This is pure pukefuel
I’ve never liked cider but that just sounds horrific nonetheless.
“metal Id imagine”
The barman was correct
The Oak in cork wouldn’t give me a vodka and coke one time. “You can order a vodka and a coke” the barman said. “You can’t have them mixed”.
Never forgot that.
I was in a bar in Cologne over the weekend called “The Corkonian” and there was a lot of mixed drinks like Guinness and cider/beer and shandys/snakebites and whatnot
Stout & cider used to be a thing when I was in school, in the ’70s (lager & lime was another one). It tasted unlike stout or cider, but quite nice I seem to recall. I asked for it in a pub 10 years later and the barman looked at me like I’d just stepped out of a flying saucer; he never been asked for it in his life, never heard of it.
In the states there was a period that bartenders were mad to serve Guinness in a glass with carbinated drinks. Since the bubbles in Guinness are nitrogen and the bubbles in most beers are carbon dioxide (i.e. carbonated) they have different densities and the Guinness will float on top of the beer. This creates the kind of visual showmanship that can help them attract regulars (and thus more tips). Some examples are
* Black and Blue (Guinness and Blue Moon)
* Black Velvet (Guinness and champagne)
* Black and Tan (Guinness and bitter)
The visual provided the same kind of fancy moment that a martini glass with garnish does but since it’s beer its ok for men to order it (it was a different time). When drank the denser drink flows through the Guinness head and creates an interesting flavor profile. I use a Guinness head in cocktails all the time and it can be really tasty. During my days bartending in the states I would refuse to sell Black and Tans and launch into an unsolicited lesson in Irish history if asked.
Former bar man here, it’s called a Snakebite. Not a common drink, but have definitely been asked for it a few times.
It’s called a “Black Velvet”. It’s intended to get you pissed quickly.
That’s kinda a war crime.
I met some Germans on a work trip recently and they were very interested in finding out if their Irish Pub drinks were actually drunk by people in Ireland. They called the cider/guinness one a snakebite, but I always thought a snakebite was guinness and blackcurrant. They also asked if we drank Irish car bombs (…) and some drink where they dropped a shot of baileys into a guinness, jaegerbomb-style. It was…a weird conversation
This is why the Brits shouldn’t have their own country. Pure philistine
Animals
Thats why noone likes british. THEY DRINK THEIR BEER WARM! Wich barbarian does this?
I know that bartenders are not allowed to serve Guinness if it is not in a Guinness branded glass. Could be something to do with that
Worked in a pub in America and this is common I forget the names for each but yeah a larger or cider at the bottom Guinness on top think is just a ‘half and half’ and you pick out whatever larger 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Mixing Guinness and Cider into a pint would taste absolutely fucking disgusting
just british things
If you’re at a metal bar surely you’re there for the tunes. Otherwise why not fuck off to any other bar?
Should be barred for asking for that
This is a relatively common drink in “Irish Pubs” here in Canada. Most call it a crown float. It’s cider and Guinness mixed. The Guinness floats to the top of the cider.
Looks neat visually but always thought it tasted terrible.
What the fuck is that.
It’s like he forgot what a snake bite was. Half larger half cider with a dash of blackcurrant and a shot of vodka.
In an Irish bar in Germany, we used to serve Black Velvet; 1/2 Guinness and 1/2 Sekt (German prosecco)
I dont know. Bulmers with a Guinness head is quite nice. Takes the over sweetness away from the cider.
Used to work at a pub in Edinburgh and we had to do the same. It’s because it’s apparently classed as a “cocktail” and requires a different license to serve, which the pub didn’t have. Daft.
Sounds like some bullshit some students on Erasmus concocted to put the shits up the other students
Mate tried ordering a Black Witch (Perco, codial & cider) in Whelans he got one but the bar man said if he asked for it again he would kick him out. This was a good 18 years ago though.
I would kill any of my staff if they mixed Guinness and cider. That beer box would destroy your stomach, you be in bits
I regularly drank Guinness and cider together! It was before chilled Guinness was introduced so it was really refreshing in the summer.
The thought of it is making me want to puke now!
When I worked in the student union bar in the UK many moons ago, we could sell a pint of cider and a pint of lager but we weren’t allowed to mix it to make a snakebite because it was sending the students mad apparently. Completely pointless as they would just do it themselves but they were really strict with us not selling it as snakebite.
