I like Guinness. I'll get a Black and Tan once in a while. A girl bought me a Black and Cherry last week. It's Guinness and Cherry Wheat. I wasn't sure what to make of it. Tasted kinda funky.

Fact I live by: Guinness on tap (not the bottled Foreign Extra) is 4.2% ABV, which is lower than Budweiser, Heineken and most lagers.
It makes a noticeable difference after a night of drinking.

Guinness promotes a rape culture.

Guinness is my shit. It also contains calcium pyruvate, which actually burns fat and builds muscle.

Bangers + eggs + bacon + mushroom + baked beans + fried bread = full English breakfast.
Guinness + 2 raw eggs = Irish man's breakfast.
That's how them Irish stay lean.

I hate all alcohol adverts. They either make men look like idiots. Or they make the pruchasing of alcohol into some heroic act which says alot about who you are as a man.
Bullshit.
I drink alot of Jack Daniel's and they are bastards as well. Their adverts are full of guff like "drop by drop - we make it the best we can" or "made the same way Jack made it 100 years ago".
Yet the alcohol content of the whiskey has dropped from 45% to 43% (in the mid 60's) to 40% (in the late nineties). And a difference of 5% makes a big difference to the power and finish of a whiskey.
Bastards.

I toured the distillery in Lynchburg TN once. It's not far from where my father lives. It was pretty cool hearing the history of JD. Truth be told, it's not my favorite but it is pretty good for a whiskey.

You guys should try George Dickel and Evan Williams 1783- they're both cheaper and better than JD

I've always been surprised at the worlds infatuation towards Budweiser and JD. To me both are rot gut, but good marketing goes a long way. Americans love Fosters but most Aussies I know call it canned piss.
I know Guinness here isn't "real", but its better than nothing. I've been to places where draught doesn't exist, and you were lucky to find extra stout in the bottle. When you guys in the U.S. are buying imports, check the back label, cause a lot of it shit that is "brewed in strict accordance" to the original maker. Meaning you are paying premium for Sapporo made by Anheuser-Bush.
As for proper whiskey, I am thankful everyday for the Irish.
