finally.....I'm drinking guinness beer

[woodman19_99]

Yeah, it wasn't as evil tasting as I remember it being. Mebbe it's weaker in the bottle or something, but the one I had on tap was really syrupy and herby tasting.

"herby"?? That doesn't sound anything like Guiness... hmm possible bartender error?? I think Guiness has more of a burnt chocalte taste to it. It is definitely very thick though...

Deffo sounds like yer had a duff pint there BoP

*sets out to "edumacate" the barman....Guinness is to be treat with kindness and care prior to serving

I'm a big fan of the black and tan. One pint of Guiness is so heavy, it's like a meal in a glass. I have 1 or 2 of them, and I feel to full to drink anymore. I find the best B&T is Bass and Guiness. I'm a big fan of Bass...

Went to the store today and bought a 4 pints of Beamish Irish Stout draft (widget-equipped cans), a six pack of Bass Ale, and a six pack of Negra Modelo.

This will be the scene in the Bilge tomorrow, except we'll be hoisting giant frosty mugs:

Sounds like quite a [potential] hangover yer got there Sharky

Beamish is a quality stout as well....a bit milder tasting than Guinness, so that might suit ya better Tonks and BoP (Murphy's is even milder....that's worth trying as well)

Like jenky said...tis an aquired taste. I know a few folks who like to put an inch of lemonade in the top, to take the "thickness" outa it

I've had Guiness in bottles, and on tap. I used to call it 'carbonated espresso'.

I'd rather Harp for black and tans.

my sis's bf, who's from munich, tells me 50/50 beer with lemonade is a very common drink at pubs over there... sounds a bit funky... but germans do know their beer

Used to do Steamrollers with a really good homebrew stout. Take a mug of stout, drop a shotglass of Kahlua in it, then down it. Pretty good stuff.

That's a shandy. For some reason, it just doesn't work as well with canadian lemonade. It's a drink usually for kids on special occasions.

Yup, small glass of shandy for the kids ....nice and refreshin' on a hot day as well if ya want to keep a clear head (still not safe to drive on tho')

No hangovers for me, I know how to prevent them.

Some friends and neighbors came by after we finished working in the peanut fields Sunday afternoon, and we had a little pre-harvest party.

The consensus was: the Beamish was good, but not as tasty as the Guinness Draft one of them brought. The Guinness even made better black and tans.

The Modelos went fast, I only got one before they disappeared.

When are you coming up here? I'll stock up on Modelos.

I'm shooting for the weekend of Sept. 18 - 19, but right now it's all hinging on what Hurricane Frances does. If it brings a lot of rain to Washington County this weekend, we won't be able to plow up the peanuts next week, which will delay the threshing for a week.

As soon as I know for sure when the plowing can begin I can be more definitive.
