What Guinness wouldn’t confirm or deny is the rumor that a portion of each batch is aged in very old oak tuns populated with Brettanomyces and lactic acid bacteria to lend Guinness its characteristic touch of sourness. Supposedly, it’s then pasteurized and blended into the remainder of the batch.

Guinness, in spite of it's dark color and "reputation" as a heavy beer is instead, quite refreshing and very quaffable. I find that a couple of pints of guiness are very easy to throw down. It is also pretty low in carbs. In case you are wanting to maintain your girlish figure. I know that I am.

My English friend who practically grew up on the stuff told me the same thing. I took him at his word and didn't bother to try to independently confirm this info, because Guinness actually being healthy is pretty much God's answer to all my prayers.
Guinness is very overrated. Grab some Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout and Oak aged Yeti Imperial stout. Available at the liquor store on East Alameda. Pure heaven!
Otherwise, buy any domestic craft brewer's version of stout and it will blow Guinness away.

Guinness is what I like to call "delicious." Guinness touching my tongue is like licking heaven.

It rates above pretty much all the other mega brews. It's better for you than a coke. And it'll do when you don't want to spend 5 or 6 bucks for a pint in a bottle.
I'll check out the yeti, though. Sounds interesting. The review I read said it pours like oil. Fun.

No more than 7. That seems to be the number when you mysteriously vanish from drunkytown threads. :D

I had the Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout over the weekend. Very thick dark pour with a nice dark head. Very hoppy. Too hoppy for my liking anyway. Nice flavors but finishes with too much alcohol for me.

You sure it wasn't purplish?
I've toured 1 brewery in my life: Guinness in Dublin, Ireland. You can't throw a rock in Ireland without hitting a Guinness advertisement. By the way contrary to popular belief the Guinness in Ireland is weaker than in the U.S. The version sold in the U.K. is only about 3.2 -3.5% alcohol just like our Okie beer. The export is about 4 - 4.5% I think.
Having sampled many a Guinness and many stouts by other brewers I stand by my rating that Guinness is not even in the top half. I am not talking about that Guinness Draught stuff with the widget inside. That black fizz is charcoal water marketed to frat boys as authentic stout.
That's my opinion anyway. But the beauty of beer is it doesn't matter who likes it but you!

This is going to go over really well here.. but...
I really don't like beer... doesn't taste as good as wine or martinis... drink too much you feel gut busting full....
Granted, there are some places that require beer.. i.e., a basebore game or with a Fletcher's Corny Dog before the game (FOR ONLY TWO MORE YEARS THANKS TO THAT IDIOT LAURA MILLER)....
but.. other than that...

Me making fun of somebody being drunk would be like the pope making fun of those old ladies with the silly red hats.
Lid, I would agree with you in so far as 95% of the beer sold in the mass market is a bland watery macro-swill striped of most flavor and character and indistinguishable from the other macro beers.
100% of beers sold off the shelf in grocery and convenience stores is light lager style beer. Light lager (color light, not calorie light) is the least interesting and bland of all styles. Great for a hot summer day but otherwise boring. There are dozens of styles and variations of beer and as much history and flavor variety as the fermented grape juice known as wine.

It's a Saturday Night Live reference. Back when all the cool people watched it. Like in 1978.
Orange Juice slogan at the time: It's not just for breakfast
SNL joke (because AB was the OJ spokesperson and was speaking out against homosexuality): Anita Bryant's husband claims, she's not just for breakfast anymore
Beet's, referencing the SNL skit and using the old saying that college guys everywhere used when referring to beer: Like AB, it's not just for breakfast anymore.
I hate it when I have to explain my jokes.
