Guiness has the same number of calories as most non-light beers. People commonly make the mistake that it's really heavy. (If a black and tan were made with Bass and Guiness, the Bass would be more caloric)

Guinness is also lower in alcohol than many beers. People perceive it as strong due to the taste.

Love the brand though.

I went to a Guinness consumer event a while back and learned a lot.

First, the brew is not high alcohol.

Second, there are several types of Guinness. Most of the product sold in the states is close to the Irish taste. Some of the old style bottle product is brewed for people who are from Africa or the Caribbean. The largest Guinness market is Nigeria where a very high alcohol version is brewed. The Irish product is low in alcohol but is made to be consumed over the course of a long pub session.

There is controversy about the brand in the UK. Some outlets use dispensing equipment that chill the product ice cold, a "no no" to the Guinness purist. Also, there is a super fast dispense system that eliminates the wait for a proper pint. This is another sacriligious device.

Regardless, there are few drinks that compare to Guinness in terms of taste and romance. My lips are smacking for a pint.

One other thing i learned......


Most of the bottle product sold in the USA is brewed by Labatt in Canada under a licensing agreement. Labatt sells the brand in Canada but only exports bottles for the USA. The draft still comes from the original source in Ireland.

Sorry to go on so much but Guinness is one of my favorite beers next to Stella Artois.

Analogy time:

Temple Bar is to Dublin As Fanuel Hall is to Boston

Deffinately go to Galway city, it's by far my favorite place in Ireland. Stay out of Limerick altogether, Cork city ain't that great either. Dublin's cool if you want to feel like you're in Boston, and if you want to go to Waterford, do yourself a fovor and go to Wexford instead. They also produce world class crystal, but it isn't as touristy and it's actually a nice laid back little town.

If you go to Galway City, make sure you go to the cliffs of Mohr, and if you get a chance, try and make a day trip to the Aran Islands.

I've been to Ireland a couple of times, and I'm going back hopefully next spring, anybody else want to come?
