Ah, Guinness, my one true love... Say you'll be mine tonight!
You should all come over and stay with me for a while, and drink it from the fount.
And don't mind the season that approaches. There's a character in G. Greene's "Brighton Rock"... she enjoys the finer pleasures in life, i.e. a cool pint of Guinness on a warm summer's day.
I reckon that she had the right idea.😵
You ever go to the tourney there?
Or Bunratty?

Guinness tastes nice if it is draught and has been left in the keg. I remember getting a good pint in Fuerteventura because there was an embargo on certain imports and the black stuff just waited, residing in its own version of an offshore oilwell.
I need a drink.
Help.

for my 18th we had two bath tubs filled with punch, its was obvious
that everyone was soon to become roudy and out of hand!!!
it was good punch at first. . . . . . .then we put all sorts of things in it
you name it:
crisps,
spit,
other peoples drinks,
salt,
bubblegum,
two old bottles of shandy and wine
all sorts of weird things,
i had to bath in it and drink this wicked concoction,
then my friend the lengendary Lawrence!! aka the Shady Lurker
drank 48 glasses of it, you know the whole
go! go! go! go! go! thing, he just wouldnt stop!!! it was ludacris!
eventually he stoped and proceeded to talk the biggest load of shyt that could be heard from miles away, half of it wasnt even english or any other language for that matter, then he lost his step and fell into one of the baths draggin my sorry ass in aswell!!
boy those were some good time!!!!!!!!

Originally posted by jimslyp69I'd have to be one to disagree with you on that one. Because a good reason why Guinness doesn't travel well is because the stuff that travels is mostly produced in England these days.

As Guinness is alive (yes, that's right, alive) when you drink it, which separates it off from other beers and stouts, it is therefore very temperamental. You have to know how to store it, pull it, and maintain the taps.
The best Guinness to be had, therefore, is in proper old establishments where the kegs are kept in a hatch under the actual bar, and not three kilometres away out the back by the toilets! The less the length of pipes, the less cleaning needed, the less stuff to get in the way of your pint.
Trust me, I consume vast quantities of the stuff most days.
Demonseed, The best pint of Kilkenny I ever had was in Kilkenny. Beautiful city! Hooray for Kilkenny! (It's better without all the dodgy comedians there, who are there now for the festival, though!)!
Cheers to you all! I'm quitting the library in favour of a pint now, as all this talk of pints has made me ...
...want to drink a pint, surprisingly enough!
