Smoother, lighter and more refreshing apparently. Anyone had a pint?

You can't beat a gold ole pint of the original black stuff.

Available in the Blunsdon Arms, Ash Brake.  Got a token for a free pint of the stuff through my door yesterday.

I'll give it a go but you can't beat a bit of the black stuff.  Can you?

Post by: flammableBen on Friday, November 23, 2007, 10:54:30
Nope. Unbeatable. You could try beating it with a bat but it would pass straight through. And the alcohol would probably mess up it's sonar radar thingy.

It was on in the Palace in Leeds, tasted like normal guinness to me. I was pretty half cut by then though.

If you dont have the pallette for guiness give it a go, it's nearer caffreys than guiness, but still does a good job of messing the head up. It's normally to be found in O'neills in the London area

Guinness was on the Money programme tonight, they discussed the new Red version which seems to have exactly the same ingredients apart from less roasted Barley.  Made to be sweeter but still a stout.  Might give it a test if I see it.  Guinness is an aquired taste, I hated my first couple of pints but am thankful for keeping at it.  I presume the idea of Red is bring in people who would be put off by the very bitter taste of the real stuff and then get them into the real one later.

Quote

There are approximately 60,000 public houses in the United Kingdom, with one in almost every city, town and village. In many places, especially in villages, a pub can be the focal point of the community, playing a similar role to the local church in this respect. Lots of people use pubs as a focal point of getting battered with there mates. Sometimes after a sporting event such as watching the local football team, as part of a pub crawl, or both.

Sonic, what are you moaning about now you big sad panda? I invited you to come and crash round mine tonight so we could go on a Friday night drinking session. I'm always offering you a place to stay so you can come out on a crawl. All you have to do is stop saying no.

Do you want to crash round mine tomorrow so you can come out and get drunk with us ace people? When I say ace. I mean ace people and Fred and Sam and possibly Si.

If we're doing the old town pub crawl then my house is just around the corner. You can drop your car of there after the game and we'll meet them in the Beehive. We'll probably have a head start on you alcohol wise, but then I'm guessing you'll be a bit of a lightweight with your non-drinking stance.

Fred will even buy you a couple of pints. It's a bit of a liberty offering for him, but I bet he will.
