I drink Guinness. Something has definitely changed in the UK since the late 70s Early 80s.
The drink used to be much smoother back then a dream of a pint.
Now when you go into a pub it just doesn't taste like it used to.
Sometimes you may get a pint which is good or acceptable as I would call it.
But in a lot of cases you either get a flat watery drink or sometimes even a sour vinegar taste.
Unfortunately in the UK there seems to be no pride in what is served and the general attitude is if you don't like it go somewhere else.
This attitude does not stop with beer it seems to have invaded every aspect of the service industry in the UK.

Sorry, but I'm not convinced. I live in Scotland and most (if not all) of your 5 reasons also apply here. We love Guinness here, too, and there are many bars that are dedicated to Guinness. I can't imagine it being better in Ireland, as it's already perfect, when they get it right here, as they do regularly. I'm surprised one of your reasons wasn't "the craic", as I believe the reasons usually given on this are mainly to encourage tourism in Dublin. By the way, in Scotland, we are world famous for our hospitality, so we do have our own "craic"... with a Scottish accent. 🙏 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
