Draught Beers

Nine Irish Brothers prides itself on having a high-quality draught beer system–in fact, we are one of only a few restaurants in the nation to use the Turbo Tap system, which delivers the perfect pint, every time. Nine Irish Brothers also proudly serves imperial (20oz) pints, rather than the standard 16 oz “pints” you get everywhere else. O’Bryan’s Nine Irish Brothers uses a line-cooled, nitrogen gas blending system to deliver our premium selection of beers and cider. We religiously clean and maintain our lines in order to deliver our customers brewery-quality beer. We currently carry twelve premium beers on draught.

And if that's not enough to wet your whistle, on February 27, 2009, Nine Irish Brothers on the west side was officially designated the Best Pint of Guinness in the United States by Diageo (the parent company of Guinness), which conducted a nationwide survey of restaurants, bars, and pubs.  The survey asked participants to rate their pint of Guinness against 10 different criteria, ranging from quality of the beer itself to the presentation of the pint.  Nine Irish Brothers averaged 9.72 out of 10 points, besting the competition by almost six percentage points.  That's right: Nine Irish Brothers beat out pubs in Chicago, Boston, Milwaukee, New York--you name it.  And if that's not enough, Guinness conducted a similar survey from November 2009 - January 2010, asking participants to rate on a scale of 1 - 5, with 5 being the highest possible rating.  Guess who won best pint with over 3000 entries and a rating of 4.99?  That's right--O'Bryan's Nine Irish Brothers.  Our sister store across town also scored a respectable 6th place in the entire USA!  Results are posted (for how long, we don't know) at http://www.guinnessmobile.com, or you can view a screen shot of the results here.

Next time you're in on the west side, stop by the bar and ask to see the crystal trophy, and while you're up there, ask the barkeep for the best pint of Guinness this side of the Atlantic.
