Do you like Guiness?

[wtfftw]

I like a Guinness, even the no booze version works.

Guinness clones ...nitro stouts for the creamy mouthfeel. London Black being a big one in South London by Ansbach and Hobday.

Yes, I like that one.

Orbit do some good as well. They've a nice porter and I'm trying to justify treating myself to this. Mixed Case: Digger's Series Beers

If you ever come across Entire Stout from Hopback brewery, it is delightful stuff, whether on handpump or keg.

I was in the Albion earlier and some complete idiot actually chose a can of Guinness poured into a pint glass over the far superior draft Entire Stout.

I have no idea why a Hopback pub would stock cans of Guinness when their own stout is so good, but I guess they know what they are doing.

hmm. suppose there's no accounting for taste, and if that's what some people want...

have you met enville gothic stout? can't remember the last time i encountered it, but was pretty damn good...

Could it have been the alcohol free version??

fair point. don't think so, but possibly

So have you tried Guinness and blackcurrant hitmouse ?

Update: last night I was in the pub and thought it'd be a good occasion to try it, but they didn't have blackcurrant juice, but they did have Chambord, so I've now tried Guinness and Chambord, which was pretty nice, but still not G&B.

Has the Guinness run out or is it just a winning PR ploy

Definitely ran out of guiness in Newquay pub last Tuesday and pub orders in Hampshire being rationed barrels. (Explained by bqar manager)

I drink it because it’s easy. Still gives me beer sneezes though

Gone up by 10p a pint on Teesside. Well in my boozer it has £3.70 a pint. Only increased the Guinness nowt else.

Just take a bottle of ribena with you next time you go to a pub.

Yes. Originally known as Porters, which are also making a comeback.

Guinness is the best one though but believe it or not, Brewdog have recently started making one called Black Heart, which is absolutely delicious.

Porter should be "thinner" than stout and tends not to hold its head. Are these thick?

Also stout with port in is lush.

A shot of Kahlua or Tia Maria goes well in it
