bushwack July 20, 2009 Share bushwack Member July 20, 2009 I finished off a 6pk of Guinness Friday and thought I would top it off with one of these Nighthawks. It tasted like liquid meat byproduct. Heads up if you like bacon fat and beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfsblood July 20, 2009 Share Wolfsblood Member July 20, 2009 Either of you guys find the anniversary edition of Guinness? This year marks the 250th anniversary of St. Arthur's founding of the brewery at St. James Gate and they're selling a slightly different version of the stout. Worth looking for in your local stores.

Yeah, i've seen it, the Giant Eagle near Fatty's house had some out there, but I haven't tried it yet, have you? I was drinking quite a bit of Guiness, but my belly has paid the price....I needed to switch to a light beer...once I shed a few pounds, i'll allow myself some more Guiness....in moderation of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boiler July 20, 2009 Share boiler Member July 20, 2009 everything in this thread that isn't related to Guinness is wrong. There should not even be a debate here. This thread is now dedicated to Guinness and other beers that are ACTUALLY BEER and are actually good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoner July 20, 2009 Share Demoner Member July 20, 2009 You should of just stuck with the Gusiness and never drank malt liquor especially after drinking such good beer. Other good beers to try these specifically come from the UP are KBC Lift Bridge Brown, KBC Red Jacket, or KBC Pick Axe Blonde. Though I think you can only get these beers in MI. These are all made by Keweenaw Brewing Company. My favorite is the Red Jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah after downing the 6pk I lost my better beer judgment. Honestly that was the first good beer I've had in a couple months. When ya trying to stretch your monnies it makes more sense to pick up a case of cheap stuff from walmart when it cost about as much as a good 6pk, ya know? Oh yeah, it made the Guinness that much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymo July 21, 2009 Share anonymo Member July 21, 2009 Well obviously it could have been worse, you could have drank that swill first then the Guinness would have just gone to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good. Somewhere between the Extra stout and the Pub Draught. Not as heavy as the Extra, but without the widget that gives the Pub Draught it's creaminess. Very worthwhile, I'll have to pick up some more next time I'm down at the store. As for the malt liquor, I gave that up while still in college. *shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymo July 22, 2009 Share anonymo Member July 22, 2009 It's funny how out of all the things malt liquor makes you forget, the taste and feeling after finishing a 40oz of St Ides is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsblood July 29, 2009 Share Wolfsblood Member July 29, 2009 The one good(?) thing about malt liqueur is that after the first gulp or 2 your taste buds are so shot that the rest of it doesn't taste that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After much deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that this is in fact not a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See? Good tasting, and good for you. Maybe it was all the chicken wings and pizza you had to go with the Guinness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
