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)http://www.theraven.com/beer.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith1968 Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 Guinness is also lower in alcohol than many beers. People perceive it as strong due to the taste.Love the brand though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

unclefester401 Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 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?

Anybody been??? I went last summer:eek: I loved it there, definitely a must see. Make sure to bring your walking shoes and a good camera because there will be plenty of pic worthy places. And the partying ain't all that bad either. All in all I am so jealous you are going definitely one of my favorite cities. Where does your sis live in Rome, meaning what part of town?

The cellar sounds farmilliar, but I''m not too sure. I remeber the Quays (pronounced keys), it was kind of touristy, but not cheesy touristy, there just happened to be a lot of tourists there. I really don't remember many names of pubs I went to. I remember the first time I went to Ireland I went to a "lock in" pub with some of my uncle's friend's kids. They played folk music, and were doing a session at this place. Well, it was getting late, I wasn't paying attention to the time, and it was getting pretty hot in the pub, so I figured I'd go outside for a smoke. Five minutes later, I try to go back in and the fricken door's locked:mad: I had to wait outside for about a half hour for somebody else to leave so I could get in:laugh: .

That'a a really nice part of Ireland - believe you're right near the cliffs of Moher (sp?). If you get a chance, go a little South to Killarney - nice drive - very cool city- Good pubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
