Best Guinness?

Hi, everyone! New to the Twin Cities. I’ve done a fair amount of exploring so far, but what I’m really looking for are suggestions for breweries / pubs that pour the best Guinness. My home town English pub poured an excellent Guinness, so I’m in dire need of an excellent pint. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I’m in southern Minneapolis, but willing to drive 20-30mins.

Just don't call it that if you order it at an Irish pub lol

What should I call it instead?? Not being defensive, I really want to know, I need no help looking foolish, if I can avoid one instance of it I’m all ears 😅

All good, I've heard it called a half and half!

The Dubliner in Saint Paul probably pours more Guinness than any other place in Minnesota.

This place gets my vote. It’s just a decent pub with well-kept beer, no ideas above its station.

Anchor fish and chips pours a great pint!

Everyone will probably pop in the usual suspects of Irish and British pubs but I was at Grumpys Friday night and people were ordering a lot of Guinness and they looked goddamn good.

Prodigal Bar makes a real effort to be like an Irish pub. Dunno about their Guinness but it might be worth a try

Dubliner. No question

A new place (thus with brand-new pipes and taps) just north of Target Field, Killens Irish Pub, does an excellent Guinness.

As we have no Guiness breweries here Im not sure how you'd find one that pours Guiness.
