Ha, you probably believe everything commercials tell you are good.  Don\'t get me wrong, if there is a good special on Guinness at the bar I will probably take advantage of it but I don\'t see how everyone gets a chubby for this beer. When I think of stouts I don\'t think Guinness would even crack my top 10. It\'s popular because it\'s widespread and available as the standard stout at most bars. But that\'s just what it is, a standard stout. Just because Guinness sells world-wide doesn\'t mean it\'s an elite beer nor even an elite stout. If you want to crown it as an elite beer for being a world-wide seller then you\'d have to do the same for Budweiser, Stella and Miller Lite and all those beers are crap. Not all popular things are good, just look at Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. :low blow:

First of all, leave The Boss out of this discussion.

Secondly, this is a lot of trash talk for a guy who dressed up as one of the Guinness "brilliant" scientists (ala your pic)

Lastly, is it the best stout no, is it the worst, absolutely not.  I personally like Guinness Draught, not Guinness Stout.  And up until the last 5 years, there wasn\'t really much promotion being done other than the annual "Great Guinness Toast".  It all boils down to personal taste, but I wouldn\'t knock a bunch of people for getting together to celebrate Guinness.

Not a huge Guiness fan.  Not a very high alcohol content for a stout, yet still expensive.  I would rather get more bang for my buck with an IPA or just simply an Ale.

I think that you\'ll pay pretty much the same for any pint of beer unlesss you go to the bar during happy hour or when they have a special.

That being said, less alcohol content is not a bad thing, that means you can actual have a beer without being over the legal limit and be able to drive home legally.

TBC right there. Though to my defense, it was St. Patty\'s day and we got 2-4-1 on Guinness all night for wearing those around Utica.

It just bothers me how popular this beer has gotten and how much praise it\'s been given among people who have never had a good stout before. I guess it all boils down to marketing and not taste.

Why drink if you are not drinking to get drunk?  Weirdo.

Because you enjoy the taste; I really hope that was just a bit of sarcasm in that post.  If you just want to get drunk, scroung up a couple of bucks and buy yourself a bottle of grain and you\'ll be there in no time.

I agree with your assessment of Guinness however I have learned over the years that just about every beer has its place. I am basically a recovering beer snob. I find on most nights that I am drinking piss Bud Light, coors light etc. Don\'t get me wrong I love Ale, have a love v. Hate relationship with IPA, enjoy a good stout basically I am a drinker. I don\'t turn my nose up when offered a beer. I just don\'t drink as many micro / craft beers as I used to only because as I have gotten older they seem to put me to sleep if I am just listening to tunes etc. at the bars I tend to steer towards a better Ale etc as the cost of piss is crazy at the bar and I find it easier to not slam them (although with a designated driver all bets are off). Now after many years of having no palate for bourbon / whiskey, I have discovered I actually like drinking aged Bourbon. Just what I need another expensive habit.

So enjoy your Guinness and whatever else is the wind beneath your wings.

I love me some Guinness
