Title: Guinness
Post by: BANGKOK RED on Friday, April 25, 2008, 15:37:07
Well it's just ace innit.

And I heard an interesting story today, in that should there be a water shortage in Ireland then the Guinness brewery get first priority to whatever water is available.

I can't find anything on google that either proves nor disproves what I have been told.

But if true then how coolishly mental is that?

I love Guinness, best drink out there, ideal if you don;t have a chance to grab a bite to eat, a drink and a meal in one, perfect.

Guiness is OK....but lacks the variety of proper English Ale....or even Brains.

Spitfire's a nice replacement, or Tanglefoot if at a party, unfortunately my local does 3b's and 2b's only on the bitter front, so it means I have no choice.

Yeah its okay but nowhere near as nice as a pint of proper stout.

It's also incredibly expensive.

Could somebody please confirm or deny whether or not the water shortage thing is true?

Post by: janaage on Friday, April 25, 2008, 16:29:59
Yes somebody probably could confirm whether it's true or not.

Guinness is horrible. I heard that a pint of guinnes has the same calories as a roast dinner. That can't be right can it?

No it's not right, a few roast potatoes would have more calories than a pint of Guinness does.

And then you'd have to have gravy too, obv.

About 400 calories in a pint of Guinness.

Nah, it's only about 200 calories per pint, just like any other beer or lager.

a pint of guinness has less calories than a pint of milk... the calorie thing is a myth.

I also used to find it a heavy drink, but it's easier to drink than a pint of gassy lager.

Ah yes, Brains of Cardiff.  Truly an oxymoron amongst ales.

 I mentioned Brains in anticipation of my trip to Wales, unfortunately the only Reverend James, was another quiz team.

  The hefty quantity of Carling  provided the only case of skull attack.
