Re: Irish Beer Drinkers Best Germans
I tend to agree with him.
 I really wonder how people can drink that dark Guiness. I'm much into blonde, white or amber beer. I drank one Guiness when I was 14. Since I didn't try, I've been disgusted. Perhaps, irish drink other beers than Guiness, don't they?

Re: Irish Beer Drinkers Best Germans
Of course Guiness rules !
A good drinking rythm is 2 pints of cider / 1 pint of Guinness. But Guinness alone is also great. As for other irish beers, there's Beamish (also a stout) ; and surely lots of others. It's been a long time since I went to Ireland and I didn't drink too much at that time.

Re: Irish Beer Drinkers Best Germans
Guinness may be something, but it is not beer. How anyone can drink that stuff regularly is beyond me.

There is an urban myth that it tastes better in Ireland. Despite the arguments to the contrary, I can verify that it's actually true. And the old adverts are right - Guinness is good for you. You could live on the stuff......providing your liver was up to the task

You eat a big meat dinner and then suddenly get sick but you are in a place in which you couldn't throw up gracefully. So, you throw up, it fills your mouth and then you are thinking the only thing you can do is to swallow it back down the hatch. Finally, as you are ready to vomit a second time, you swallow it back down. Whatever is left in your mouth is the Guinness taste.

Re: Irish Beer Drinkers Best Germans
I belong to the Coke generation, so my palette is not really used to true alcohol (white alcohol for instance), I admit. But I never had problem with Beer. I'm not too much in alcolpops. And "weissen bier" is a serious and authentic thing, nothing to do with Smirnoff, Corona and cie (with a twist of lemon please
 ). For girls? Yeah, girls can join me to drink. Quote:
I persist and sign, Guiness is... special. From my memory, it tasted like burned caramel. Not that it imports much to you, but I don't find myself in Guiness.

Re: Irish Beer Drinkers Best Germans
For real guys there is only Trappist ale.
 Quadrupel has 10% alcohol.

Sounds nice  I actually had a bottle of ,what the label claims, was once the strongest beer in the world yesterday - Samichlaus Beer (14%)  The taste was interesting to say the least. The alcohol burn as it went down was more reminiscent of a spirit than a beer. The taste got progressively more tolerable as I drank more of it. That said, the Chilli Beer still has to be my all time favourite

Re: Irish Beer Drinkers Best Germans
Guinness is the worst beer I ever drank. You more likely find me sniffing petrol than drinking that shit.
