TRAGEDY: Irish firefighters contain blaze at Guinness factory in Dublin

[Massive Lee]

Guess what guys? It is soon Christmas Eve and I have already been cooking for a couple of hours. Crême brulée is already done and cooling down on the top of my 2002 racecar, seafood chowder is done and ready for the final "ovening" and about to start preparing a couple of Canard à l'orange while listening to some "Modern Jazz Quartet" and drinking Guiness. Life is good. And to all the haters, I offer my middle finger in the ass. Up to my wrist. ;)

maredsous brown, blonde, or triples?

They are made by Duvel. Not the biggest fan. For domestic I like Rogue best. The Northwest makes better beers than the Southwest.

I like the Dubbel. I still want to try a westie.

I definitely disagree about beer brewing. We do it better down here. The Maltose Falcons brewing club is composed of the best brewers in the Country, including the Brewmaster for Rogue, Stone and Sam Adams. They are located across the street from where I work. We definitely do it better here.

meh, I like really like Rouge, but I think Stone is better in all honestly.

Good beer. I do like the abbey beers, but I like the Delirium stuff a tad better. Maredsous is a damn good one too.

Guinness is overrated. Its good. Buts its got like Budweisser type commercials and status.

Stone is good but it also tries so hard to be hard its borderline gay. But their restaurant kicks ass and the beer is cheap. I had a bacon something or other there the other day and it was spectacular.

God like beer is Rochefort. 6,8,10,12.

I would agree. I am very familiar with Cali's breweries. Stone's Arrogant Bastard and Lagunitas' IPA are two of my favorite beers. I just said that people in the northwest consume lots of good beer. There are quite a few good breweries in the area, but Cali has some greats. I generally don't go into a bar unless there are 15+ beers on tap (my favorite watering hole has 30+), which I hear is unheard of in many parts of the country.

My favorite place has a fair amount of Belgians (my favorite style, due to an overactive liver) on tap. Nothing like a fresh glass of Delirium Nocturnum.

I love hoppy beers, and btw, the best ones come from San Diego, not from the Northwest. Stone >*

I think you might just be retarded.

I love stone. In fact, I have a bottle of their anniversary double IPA from last year that I have yet to open. I brew beer. I would say I probably know more about it than you.

And yes, I do love Guinness. It is not garbage at all. It's good as hell.

what's out of line about saying shitty beer is shitty?
anyone with god taste in beer would, and seems to agree, Guinness has no flavor hence is not good beer.

Your crazy Guinness has loads of taste. Its called shit. lol. Why do people say real beer isnt Budweiser? Because its popular? I dont drink lite shit Bud heavy floats my kidneys. I wish the Sam Adams plant would burn down and take the patriots with em. Now that is truly a terrible beer, ill take a Guinness to a Sam Adams any day of the week.

[assoutE12]

it tastes like fucking cardboard, have you ever even had stone beer? I would guess not, I have never heard of someone with good taste in beer that like that garbage, period.

[triggrhaapi]

You live in Cali and you are saying that!? Man, you guys have some great breweries down there. Take full advantage and quit drinking terrible beers like Guinness.

I drink a whole ton of different kinds of beer. I enjoy Guinness. In fact, I personally think you don't have testosterone pumping in your blood if you don't like it. It's just fucking good.

[triggrhaapi]

stone is the shit, but PNW has more micros per capita than any other region if i recall correctly.

Quantity does not denote quality.

Quit being the typical wannabe-beer-elitest Guinness drinkers that think your a "beer guy" for drinking it. Let me guess you like futball and watch the Red Sox with all your "authentic" Irish buddies too?

I'm from the northwest, which makes me a hop-head by default. I love IPAs with Pliney the Elder being my current favorite. Beyond IPAs, my favorite all-time beer is Manny's Pale Ale, and when it comes to the darker variety I like Georgetown Brewery's 9lb Porter or Stone's Arrogant Bastard.

Maybe Guinness will experience a shortage and you'll step outside your box and try a beer with some real flavor.
