¡Hi there!
Hoy os traigo una entrada del blog 'The Food Section' bastante interesante. Fundamentalmente refuerza mi tesis de que es necesario hacer una escapadita a Irlanda ;-)
El artículo es el siguiente:
Study: Does Guinness Really Taste Better in Ireland?
Does a pint of Guinness really taste better in Ireland than anywhere else?The answer is yes according to scientists at the Institute of Food Technologists.
The Institute conducted a survey in 33 cities in 14 countries and found that the majority of testers enjoyed the stout more in Ireland than in any other country:
The group used 103 non-expert testers from different countries and brought them to 71 different pubs. Factors such as pub ambiance, Guinness appearance, flavor and aftertaste were all considered. They marked each pint of Guinness on a Visual Analogue Scale of one to 100. Ireland received an average of 74, while the other countries marks averaged at just 57.
Beer author Pete Brown told the Daily Mail that factors such as ambiance and expectations may be behind the results: "There is a feeling of authenticity that you associate with drinking a beer in its true home, so the ambiance you feel in an Irish pub would be like no other." He added:
In Irish pubs you can order a Guinness knowing that the tap has been flowing all day, so you'll never get a pint which has sat in the pipes for an hour. Whereas in London, it could have been there all day. The locals also tend to know their own beer inside out, so you'll get it at the right temperature, in the right glass and with the right head.
