[QUOTE=Terminus Est] Fascinating how most of those who voted for Guinness don’t know how to spell Guinness. [/QUOTE] It’s not really that fascinating. Double consonants are a pain in the ass and usually don’t make sense in English. Edit: Anyone who cares can feel free to recount, but I got 8 correct spellings and 3 misspellings among those who voted for Guinness. Hardly “most.” ---

I can’t beleive so many people are voting for Yuengling over Guinness. I expected this round to be a massacre. Guinness ---

[QUOTE=NAF1138] I can’t beleive so many people are voting for Yuengling over Guinness. I expected this round to be a massacre. [/QUOTE] A lot of people just don’t like stouts. I have a number of friends who look at me funny when I order Guinness, saying “how can you drink that dark shit?” The amusing thing is, Guinness is rather light and mild in the wide world of stouts. ---

My actual favorite made it to the final round! GUINNESS ---

Guinness No question. All though looking through before posting there seems to be a question. But I like my meals in a glass. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=NAF1138] I can’t beleive so many people are voting for Yuengling over Guinness. I expected this round to be a massacre. [/QUOTE] Yuengling was my college drink of choice, and it’s a guaranteed option at every bar around here that I know will be decent (-You- try ordering a Guinness at a redneck bar!) Plus, it’s a beer that you can drink after mowing the lawn. That’s gotta be worth bonus points, right? ---

I’m a little late with the final results but it doesn’t matter. In what many would consider a rout, the winner is: Guinness It was actually a come from behind victory, at one point Yuengling let 9 to 5. The final score was 18 to 10. I have tried some of the beers the past few weeks and will try some more this summer. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to try a Yuengling, it is not available here on the left coast. Thanks to all those that participated and have a cold one on me. ---

Was there ever any doubt? Guinness makes you strong. ---

Ugh, IMHO, Guinness is the most overrated beer on the market today. ☹ It’s a good beer, don’t get me wrong, but there are a dozen better stouts made in New Mexico alone. ---

That is, of course, if I’m allowed to mail it to you and you want it that badly.
