A Manchester publican who reportedly serves the 'best pint of Guinness outside of Ireland' has revealed the secret behind the perfect pour.
According to Pádraig Brady, 52, from Mulligans in Manchester, being "consistently consistent", is the key to his quality pints, which have attracted stout aficionados from across the country. The pub landlord says people have have travelled from as far away as London and Dublin to the Irish pub just off Deansgate to try their pint of Guinness - with one person known as the Guinness Guru, dubbing it the best outside Ireland.
While many often ask the Dublin-born publican the secret behind his perfect pint of Guinness, he claims there's a number of ingredients and factors at play. "There isn’t one. You just have to be consistently consistent", says Pádraig.

"There’s five or six things you have to do to keep it consistent. We are also fortunate to have a great team of staff led by Peter and Matt who are very aware that you can lose your reputation over a bad pint.
"Our pints are good not just 99% of the time, but 101% of the time. And it’s got to be consistent from the keg to the customer.
“We are not reinventing the wheel. But I do serve the pints in a tulip glass, and I bring them over from Ireland. It’s about a clean glass and clean lines as well."
Located in the heart of Manchester city centre, Mulligans, with its standout red exterior, not dissimilar to bar's in Dublin's Temple Bar district, is the oldest Irish pub in Manchester. Inside, punters are given an authentic taste of the Emerald Isle with walls and ceiling adorned with GAA flags, jerseys and Guinness memorabilia.
