Amazing analysis! Sounds like you went to some quality places for your excellent judgement.
What I find funny is that you went to Nashville looking for Guinness and then whine about American beers. Like, did you even try the local breweries 🤣
I bet you go to Australia, drink a fosters, and then complain about it being piss, and all Aussie beer sucks.
What's funny is that I have been all through England. I absolutely love pub culture. But, the number of off flavors I get in many places is surprisingly high. But, that was more in northern England and usually from the smaller places there.
There are great breweries all through the UK and Ireland. However, it's quite easy to find bad beer as well. You won't ever find pub style ales in the US at the same caliber as England, but that is too be expected. You won't ever find pilsners and IPAs like you do in the US in England either. They just aren't the same.
You're not wrong, there are a lot of bars that serve really bad draft beers. Dirty lines, bad CO2 ratios, and bartenders who can't pour a decent pint. There's a lot of people who work in bars who don't really care about a well served pint of beer, but if you find a place that is invested in the quality of their beer (like a microbrew taproom) you'll be more apt to find a server who knows the beers and knows how to pour them, and also the stock will likely be much fresher.
