Pint of Guinness?

[Pottsy]

Anyone going to partake in one today? I am.

Of course, a pint or three.

I might be Irish but I don't actually like the stuff

Murphy's stout is much nicer and I may have an occasional pint of it but I'm not really a pint drinker. I prefer Whiskey.

Only after about 10 pints

No, working late turn today, zero alcohol 12 hours before booking on for duty. I don't really like Gunness anyway.

 

[ianrauk]

nope, disgusting stuff

Ah good to see plastic Paddys are alive and well on CC

I'm probably going to get lynched or something here, but I prefer bottled Guinness - I don't like the nitrogen head on the draught kind. I'll have a bottle or two of the export version which is a bit stronger as well - about 8% I think.

Not had a chance to try it but heard good things about it.

The traditional Irish ale is actually a drink called Smithwicks and has been brewed since before Arthur Guinness was even born. I actually prefer it to Guinness as well.

Is that a stout as well?

No. It would be something similar to best bitter.

There is also a brewery in Cork that brews Beamish, which in my opinion is superior to the stuff brewed in Dublin.

 

[Paulus]

Is St Paddys day just a marketing ploy by Guinness to sell the stuff? There are other brewers of ales and stouts in Ireland.

My personal order of preference

Murphys
Guinness
Beamish

Smithwicks with a Guinness top is a nice drink.
