The Guinness Project

The best Guinness, ranked city by city — find the pint worth crossing town for.

Where are you drinking?

Start with your country — then we’ll show you every city we’ve scored. Some we’ve mapped to death, some we’ve only just set foot in.

England · 20 pints Spain · 17 pints France · 1 pint Ireland · 1 pint USA · 1 pint

Paris joined the map this week — one pint in so far. More cities land as the friends keep travelling.

The City Championship

Which city actually pours the best Guinness? We average every pint we’ve scored — and a city only joins once it has enough reviews to be fair. So nowhere tops the table off one lucky pour.

Why our scores actually mean something

Every reviewer drinks off the same sheet — the same 11 things, judged the same way, whether the pint’s in Manchester or Dublin. That’s the whole trick: a score in one city and a score in another genuinely compare. The crowd-sourced apps can’t say that.

The Science

Fancy joining us?

You can be one of us. The only rule is the sheet — every reviewer gets the handbook so we’re all judging the same way. Learn the system, drink some Guinness, send us your verdicts.
