I may have mentioned this before but there's a glorious piece of film on YouTube of Paul McCartney out for a night in a pub near Liverpool (Wallasey I think) sometime in the 70's. It's how I remember pub nights out in the 80's, which were really the dying embers of the 70's, which in themselves were the flickering firelight of the sixties.

Seems to be a lot of people drinking dark mild or stout.

That's probably right Oscar
Oscar, having a strong Irish-derived population, Merseyside would indeed have been an important Draught Guinness market.
And correct if I am wrong but Guinness in Liverpool always came from Dublin.

I remember a video where Martyn Cornell was discussing mild. In the early 1970’s mild in Liverpool was mostly as black as stout.

Interweb says 75% of Liverpool population can probably claim some Irish ancestry, including 3 of the Beatles.
But like good chunks of the USA there must be a good amount of exaggeration.

Wasn't there a Guinness brew facility in Warrington or Runcorn or such back in the day? I remember going to Ireland for the first time in 1989 and drinking fabulous Guinness for three glorious weeks; then getting back to Liverpool and having a pint served to me poured in one pull, not settled, and slopped all over the sides of the glass. And it did taste different. I couldn't wait to get back to Kerry.
Well, you know that 55% of statistics are made up on the spot
Anonymous,
there was a Guinness packaging plant in Runcorn which kegged and bottled. But pretty sure all the Guinness there came from Dublin.
Thanks Ron. My Dad drank Guinness back then and he would have been delighted if it was Dublin Guinness, sure that it was not. Was there a Guinness brew house in London? I've always been under the impression that Dublin Guinness never made it to the UK until recently; even when I lived in London in the 2000's The Toucan in Soho claimed a USP that they brought their Guinness in from Dublin.
Park Royal from the 1930’s to 2006. Northern England got Dublin Guinness.

Any idea how the Dublin Guinness made it over Oscar? Was it that Dublin - Liverpool undersea stout pipeline?
Ship from Dublin port.
