I like the can. I like the bottle even more (gotta drink from the bottle though). From the tap is best but only if it is fresh. Go to a bar with dirty lines or a bar that doesn’t serve it often and it tastes really bad. ---

Guinness in a can is _much_ better than Guinness in a bottle. Neither is as good as from the tap though. ---

I actually got hooked on the stuff after a black co-worker of mine said it made you fuck for hours on end. Hehe, that it didnt do, but I’ve been drinking it ever since. \*\* After hearing for years that Guinness Extra-Stout is supossed to be the god of drinks, I bought a six pack last week. It was the most disgusting drink I’ve ever tasted (on the same level as Moxie) … what the hell is supossed to be so great about it??? ---

Touche. I was just curious as to the sorta non-sequitur nature of your post, I figured it was a bot or a bit. No offense chum, welcome! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Bindrah \* > \*\*no, no, no.miller is beer, guinness is stout, there is a difference. \*\* No, I don’t think so. Stout is a subclass of beer. Actually, a subclass of ale, which is a subclass of beer. Vastly different styles, but still beer. Mmmm…beer. ---

Here is the way that I see it. IMHO: Guinness Extra Stout in bottles - The nectar of the gods. If my wallet and digestive system could handle it, it would be my only beverage of choice. Guinness in Cans - Not too shabby as long as you pour it out of the can first. Guinness Draught in bottles - I would rather drink Pabst. If you pour it in a glass, it tastes god-awful. Marginally better if you leave it in the bottle but still not worth the trip. ---

You wouldn’t want fizzy Guinness now, would you? \*\* The widget actually releases Nitrogen (morte precisely, a mixturte of Nitrogen and a bit of beer that sneaks into the widget). ---
