The canned version is better than the bottle version, imo.

Neither is as good as on tap.

Good stuff... mmmm.

Absolutely.

Even from draft, there can be so many differences. In order to get a perfect draft; gasket pressure, line cleanliness and temperature play huge factors.

However, the canned stuff is not too shabby!! Just don't go mixing it with that English swill(Bass)! If you must have a B&T, use Harps... Stay Irish..

But do you drink it warm like I do? It's meant to be drunk warm, with darts.

Like many beers, it can go cold or warm...if it is finely tapped, then warm is just as good, if not better!

However, I like beer cold to start, then warmed in the hands a bit!

Agreed!

DAMN that sounds really good right now and all I have in the fridge is Budwiser... oh well, better than nothing I guess

Nothing like a pint o'black and a rack of Corky's ribs from Memphis, TN!!! OMG the taste!

FYI, the canned version has a little widget in it, it's a nitrogen packet, that is why when you buy the cans you get that keg creamy taste, it's all in the widget!

Yeah, bottles have that too but they taste different. I can't quite place it. Usually bottled stuff tastes better. (no metal taste)

Have 3 bottles left in the fridge right now. Can't comment on those 3 but the first 3 where pretty good

Guinness can't travel!

1) Guinness is NOT supposed to be drunk warm.
2) It's disgusting filthy balck shit and if you drink it you're. . .wrong.

Budweiser is not beer.

Guinness is damn good beer. I myself favor Newcastle Brown Ale over everything. So the occasional Black Castle (B&T w/ Newcastle) or Irish Car Bomb are welcomed.

guiness is good because you get to eat and drink at the same time.

altho the guiness you get in the usa isn't real guiness. they brew it somewhere in the us and it tastes like someone poured a can of coors lite into half a pint of stale guiness and then pissed in it.

in canada you can get both in most places, but you have to ask for irish guiness specifically in most places.

Anyone try the extra extra stout yet? Just saw the cans in the supermarket the other day.

Extra Extra?? OMG! I must try!

IT'S GOT A WIDGET!

Ahh yeah, the midget with a widget...

Proper Guiness is only found in Ireland - I had a pint in Croydon once, for my sins. Never again.

And Tanc is just a philistine, or unenlightened! What the hell do you drink?

Pretty much anything except stout and whisk(e)y.

Vile ><

OMG, the gauntlet has been thrown!

I can respect a man who doesn't drink Guiness, it's not for everyone. But a man who doesn't drink Guiness *or* whisky?

Here, let me stick an umbrella in your banana daquiri - low cholestorol version of course.

Ya great poof!

I think clean lines are teh enemy of good Guinness. Those chunks are good for you!

There is a sheppard's pie and a pint or three in my future this week

Going along with the Banana Daquiri, all four of my roommates work or worked at a local bar in town that has a rotating "special drink" every night. One night is Margaritas, and any time a male orders anything other than a standard Margarita on the rocks they garnish the hell out of it in an attempt at being as emasculating as possible. My favorite is when a frat boy orders a blended strawberry Margarita and gets a heaping dollop of whipped cream and an umbrella.

good call masteen

funny thing is Budweiser is pretty popular in Ireland.

Guinness extra stout in the bottle is good, but leaves an awful aftertaste that lingers. =p

Guinness and Whisky have lots in common - they're both made from fermented bog soil and livestock entrails. Or something.

Now I'm not one to knock a good cocktail as long as there's little or no fruit involved. I prefer the "9 different shots and a splash of coke" variety
I'll also drink any spirit except whisky or anything related to fruit. Oh god and NEVER EVER drink Jaegermeister. Ye gods the stories I could tell you that I don't remember that people told me after the fact ><

Any wine a long as it's not sweet. And champagne I will drink til the cows come home. Any time of day.
And any non-stout, non-barley-wine beer. Tho given a choice i'll avoid Wifebeater (Stella Artois) in favour of pretty much any other beer.

I'm man enough for you, Dorfgin

I will drink anything but bourbon or fru fru drinks. Too many bad experiences from bourbon. I also will NEVER do liquid cocaine anymore. That shit is the fucking devil.

Before you wonder liquid cocaine = 1/2 goldschlager 1/2 jagermeister = a nightmare.

I'd rather drink Satan's bumgravy. In fact that's a more fitting name for that drink.

Guinness is the yuck.

And I don't care for whiskey either.. though in a blind taste test I will pick out the Irish Whiskey over the cheapo nasty american shit (JD) every time.

It's in the genes

Guinness ROCKS! Although, it can't go up against a polish Beer, Okocim Stout!

Hey Sirensa and Tanc agree. Maybe Tanc should opt for some pretty flowers as an avatar.

Guiness is good stuff. I really can't drink more than 1 or 2 at a time. Way too heavy.

One year a few years ago Sam Adams had this beer that won a brewing contest called Nut Brown Ale. The stuff was awesome. I used to get it on Tap at TGIF's. I think I was the only one who drank it so they took it out.

Single Malt is the fucking win. No two ways about it. Bourbon? No thanks. Blended crap? No thanks. Good single malt from a distillery who knows what they're doing? Yes Lord, thank you Lord, dump me in the barrel and let me drink till I drop.

Correct me if I'm wrong - did Tanc just invoke champagne drinking as a counter to my insinuations that he was less of a man for not liking whisky and Guiness?
