Some Guinness was spilt on the bar room floor
When the pub was shut for the night
Then out of his hole crept a wee brown mouse
And stood in the pale moonlight
He lapped up the frothy foam from the floor
Then back on his haunches he sat
And all night long, you could hear him roar
"Bring on the bloody cat"
--I took this picture while on travel in New Zealand

I'll have a Murphy's over Guiness but hey, that's beer too. Cheers. Ohh and if you ever get the chance try Grimbergen, it's the Belgium version and way better!

Though I'm not a fan of Guinness, it turns your poo black and don't get me started on the farts...
The farts are the best part, Guinness is like that drink in Roald Dahl's "The BFG"...at least it is after the 10th pint or so. I can never seem to remember for sure, wonder what causes that???

In the land of Mordor, in the fires
of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron
forged in secret a Master beer;Yuengling Lager, to
control all others.
...and into this beer he poured his
cruelty, his malice and his will to
dominate all life.
One beer to rule them all...

I thought it was to be understood this was an old Guinness standard-advertising-thingy, not an original ode to Guinness written by the poster. Was I alone here?

I enjoy teh Guinness as much as any American pretending that it still matters that most of his family came over from IRL once upon a time, but boy, too many of them can sure suck the life out of you. Or maybe I should say "moisture" instead of "life." Anyone have any idea what the sodium content in that stuff is?

Tim, where the hell is that bar? $50 for all you can drink Guinness? I'm moving to your town just for that. That's not so damn bad when you pay $6.50 a pint most nights, Voltage.
Mr Guiness poster man person, post something besides a scribble and a picture next time, your handle will only carry you so far.

I'll take a Kilkenny over Guiness, but the black stuff is still pretty good.

Guinness is so far above other beers (except for one or two little microbrew ones that you can only get in very limited distribution) that it's deservedly in a class by itself.
The brewery tour, or Guinness experience, or whatever the hell they call it, in Dublin, is an awe-inspiring monument to marketing and merchandising, plus there's all kinds of cool interactive displays that my 3-year old daughter was absolutely fascinated by. We drew her name in a huge pit filled with malted barley.
Just on one of the other comments, Heineken is its own multinational-- they brew and distribute Murphy's Stout through much of Europe, but I'm not clear on whether they actually own Murphy's outright or not. Carlsberg is its own entity too, sort of-- they merged with the multinational Scottish & Newcastle. Last time I paid attention, Budvar Budweiser was still its own master, what with being the Czech flagship national brand, but they might have been bought out...

Well, that explains it- thanks for the lesson! I'm not all that fond of Smithwick's- it's alright. I'd rather have the Guinness.
I wanted to do the Guinness tour in Belfast but didn't get the chance. Plus, it seemed so touristy. Hell, I might go anyway.
Hey Guinness- sorry for taking over your post- it's all relevant though, right?

ok, common misunderstanding. When kilkenny was first brewed, it was more like smithwicks. Guinness quickly realised this error since Smithwicks drinkers were switching to Kilkenny, as as they are both made by the same company, this obviously, was not a good thing.
So after that, they changed Kilkenny to compete with Murphys (the natural enemy).
Many irish didnt like this change, and switched back to smithwicks, making kilkenny not so popular in IRL than in the rest of the world, hence its more of an export now.
Guiness make Kilkenny, Smithwicks, Guiness, Cashels Cider, 2 of either Carlsburg, Heinekin or Budweiser(there are 2 budweisers, the US one and the German one), I can never remember which two, and they also now own Tia Maria. They merged with an English company - much to our chargrin, and are now called Diageo.
How do I know all this? My dad works for Guiness. We get free beer.

LadyJay- I just read this on a blog or something - "First brewed in 1710 by John Smithwick, Smithwick's Ale has also been sold in Ireland by Guinness under the name of Kilkenny Ale, though I don't believe the ale ever reached our shores under that endearing appellation."
I only have to walk 4 blocks for a Smithwick's, but it's nothing like the Kilkenny I remember. This can't be true, can it?

I'm from Kilkenny City in Ireland originally... it does better outside the country as its a competitor to Murphys. Where are you mailing from? Kilkenny is in about 1/2 irish bars in US... and in Auz
---------------------------
Seriously?? I'm from the Philly area, and have never seen it. I do see a good bit of Murphy's here, though. I'll have to pay more attention.
I'll be back in Ireland in May- I'll make sure to get my fill:)

cant beat Cider though, be it Bulmers(Magners to ye non-irish folk), Blackthorn(English, but very nice anyway), or Strongbow, cant beat it with ice on a lovely summer day in a beer garden at 2pm on a sunday....... sunday sesh, wuhoo! god I miss sundary seshs! Not too much cider in Japan, though I hear the guiness is ok... only non-irish are allowed to put the shamrock in the head - to prove their suitablity to be allowed pour the fabled pint.

Forensic- that is a little out of the ordinary, especially for a chick. I get the same thing. But 'ever so thin layer'? Rubbish. I like a big, thick head on my pint. And if you're a nice little American tourist in Ireland, they'll even stamp a cute little shamrock on top (so the locals know who to point and laugh at). Actually, I really enjoyed an amber-y ale in Ireland called 'Kilkenny', it was similar to 'Caffrey's' which I've seen here. I'll use this opportunity to ask- has anyone ever seen Kilkenny over here?

My best friend (a female) LOVES Guinness. When we go out to eat, we have to make sure the resteraunt serves Guinness. She sends it back if they don't pour it properly and it has too big of a head on it. Preferably she want an ever so thin layer of foam floating tauntingly.
When she finally approves of the pint, she closes her eyes and drinks the whole damn thing as if it were a glass of milk!
Then she orders another one. The 2nd one she'll savor.
She has received many offers of marriage because the menfolk say 'tis rare to see a female enjoy a Guinness.
Personally, I enjoy a Fat Tire.
