Why Guinness?

[Jack Daw]

Why Guinness? Because, it is one of my favorite beers along with Pilsner Urquell, Bass Pale Ale and Belhaven. Guinness is scary to me. I'm afraid I could get addicted to it. ;)

Unlike almost all other "stouts" I find it both light and not filling! It's almost too easy to drink, so I limit my intake to one or two pints, or a couple of "black and tans" made with Bass, Harp, or even Fat Tire.

Well now, here's a perfect use of Guinness - as a sort of mixing stout. I too like my black-and-tan or half-and-half every now and then.

Die hard Guinness Extra Stout drinker here, and for me, it was the first beer I had ever had-so I am sorta biased. Have had both the original Irish brew, and the Americanized stuff. Good thing the Irish stuff is nearly unavailable. I would be one of those "drinkers with a bowling problem"...

Most other beers seem...weak? I do enjoy Killian's Red and some of the Sam Adam's brews. Would love to get my hands on the Triple Bock by Sam Adams...

Proud owner of a can of Billy Beer...wonder what that would taste like now...

Mark: Good thing you only give your location as Central Illinois. Othewise, I know a bunch of good 'ol boys who would be after you for that can of Billy Beer.

Put it in a little Confederate kilt and post a picture. That'll torture 'em. ;-)

Confederate kilt, eh? No damn Yankee myself, so I am hanging onto it...I will take a photo this weekend. No kilted likely though.

Have you had any Samuel Smith stouts? Their oatmeal stout is killer! But I tend to be a local guy--wherever I go, I'm always sure to drink the local beer.

Last weekend, I bought a four-pack of the Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout at my local package store. It's a very delicious stout! So, I will add it to my circulation of stouts to drink. Thanks, BP!
