My girlfriend (who is Nigerian, as many of you know) has an aunt who still drinks a pint of Foreign Extra Stout every day "for health."

I guess they took those "Guinness Is Good For You" advertisements a little too serious.

I just love the Foreign Extra Stout that you can get in tropical countries. It is more like an imperial stout,

One thing we can bet on is change.

Theres always homebrewing though. Its not the easiest thing to do but one can make a reasonable clone of Guinness

I have, in my vast beer library, a book written around 1910 about the Guinness brewery. Man, you wouldn't believe the perks they gave to their workers at the time...health care on premises, a school for the workers' kids on premises...

Never much cared for it, although it's preferable to a beer you can see through.

I'd much rather have a Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout.

About a month ago, I stopped in a pizza place that has a great beer list. Best pizza in town. My wife and kid were gone for the weekend, so I splurged.

I got a guiness because nothing else really got my heart beating. The guy brought me a 6 oz of Hobgoblin to try, and I hate to say so, but I liked it better. it had more of the toasted, burnt character than the guiness, less of the runny, watery, flat sensation, and less of the acrid bitterness that I get with guiness sometimes.

I feel like such a traitor to a 30 year long friend.

Funny if mine comes any sooner, I usually plan on not coming back. Pour my Guinness right or don't pour it at all!

That is what a lot of girlfriends say.
