4. Love it!
But I have to admit that it was an aquired taste for me. Ten years ago I didn't like it at all.

8. I preferred Murphy's
back when I used to drink. But I think the Irish keep the good Guinness to themselves. In Britain it isn't the same.

21. Guinness cures what ailes ya
An American walks into an Irish pub and says, "I'll give anyone $100 if they can drink 10 Guinness's in 10 minutes." Most people just ignore the absurd bet and go back to their conversations. One guy even leaves the bar. A little while later that guy comes back and asks the American, "Is that bet still on?" "Sure." So the bartender lines 10 Guinness's up on the bar the Irishman drinks them all in less than 10 minutes. As the American hands over the money he asks, "Where did you go when you just left?" The Irishman answers, "I went next door to the other pub to see if I could do it."

30. Love it, but can't afford it
Particularly fond of the stout.

Had a stout from a tap in Minneapolis years ago that I still think of to this day. Creamy and cool.

Before I stopped drinking at the age of 19, that was a frequent menu item (shhhhhhhhhh) . . .

45. Only on tap. Canned and bottled are SHIT. Even the fancy cans
with the nifty little "foamer" fucker whatsit in it. Always tastes like shit.

But from a tap - wonderful!

And I've never even had it on tap where they serve it for real - only from American taps. I can only DREAM of what it tastes like in its home country!

48. Mr. kt, mr. anti-violence and give peace a chance kind of man,
would kill for a Guinness.

Really. Never get between him and his Guinness.

I made that mistake once. Just once. Somehow, I managed to survive. It was pretty close. I have learned.

51. Love it.
Bought some Guinness Extra Stout for a fondue recipe and only needed 4 ounces, so I drank the rest of the bottle. As the song says, I turned around and fell in love.
