Guinness Red

I had some a few weeks ago, it wasn't that great, I prefer the regular variant.

Guinness is the Marmite of drinks though.


I blame all you lager drinking,

downloading, softasshite southern powderpuffs. And to a lesser extent people like me who don't/no longer drink. I've had four cans of Murphys in the fridge for most of this year though, better than nothing I suppose.

Guinness is one of the few things I miss about drinking


Guinness red is ok

but I prefer the normal stuff. I usually drink Guinness but have been on the IPA recently. I may have to switch back.


No one's drinking Guinness

cos it's not very nice.


Wrong


indeed

it's the beer of the gods.

fuck the cider, i'm back on guinness again.


yeah, whatever

another Babycham ?


LOL

I fucking love Guinness, although drinking it apparently makes me look about 40


Wrong

seconded.


it's not very nice

only when you don't have any taste !


anyone tried the Guinness Export

7.5-8% superstout. I tried it in the height of my alkie years and even then it was a bit rank


I've seen pictures

To be honest my one accidental purchase of Guinness Original has put me off anything but the widgeted draught cans or having straight from the pub taps.


It's weird they made a Guinness Red

because normal Guinness is actually maroon!


a lot of my mates have recently started Guinness

on this rather loose basis I'd have assumed it was getting "cool" again.

I likes it. Lots. It'll never die.


i like murray walker lots

but he's still gonna die one day!


it's red

to go with the irish lemonade!


Luckily sales are up in Africa

I used to drink Murphy's Red, so I presume Guinness Red is similar... in which case I'll stick with the black stuff.


bf

Guinness is alright I guess, but proper bitter is really where it's at. I find it hard to stir any kind of fondness for something that is pushed out of pipes by gas


Correct.

My local had Sharps IPA on last night. Nothing gassy will ever compare.


I drank

eight pints last night. So you can't blame me!


He's doing his bit

ARE YOU?


I've had 12 pints and one can

this week so far.


Guiness

is just about all I drink! This is a tragedy!!!


Black Velvet

Accidentally stumbled into this as a result of winning a minute behind the bar. It takes some getting used to but it should be sampled. Who knew Guinness and Strongbow could co-exist in the same pint glass. Admittedly this is poor mans Black Velvet but champagne makes your breath smell so it balances out in the end.


bf

You won a minute behind the bar and you got Guinness?

That might be the most retarded thing I've ever heard. Next time- Pint Glass, Whiskey Optic, push push push push


winning a minute behind the bar?

8 pints of tequila, no?


No no no

You were only allowed what was on draught, no spirits or bottles. I wouldn't have made such an error if we were allowed that.
