Ah... you must have just turned... 16 ;)

[NoMyths]

Congratulations on discovering the best beer in the world. And I say this as a person who has traveled some of it. ;)

I have to disagree. :)

[NoMyths]

No, I really have. ;)

[Airhog]

Well I know why they call it stout :D

;0Newcastle is some good beer. But it isn't Guinness class.

I had 6 pints tonight. And an all-you-can-eat fish fry. Just a bit tipsy, but not drunk. That's the beautiful thing about Guinness - if you have any tolerance at all, you can drink as much as you like and you'll get full before you get staggeringly drunk.

Of course, if you want to get staggeringly drunk, there are other, more efficient, ways of doing so. :)

I have come to the realization that I just dont like Beer.

Are you sure that beer just doesn't like you? 'Cuz I was talking to beer last week and...well...let's just say there are rumors going around.

[tucker342]

I can't stand beer.... I'm more of a hard liquor kind of guy:)

Was it the Bud Light, or the Sam Adams that told ya?

[GoldenEagle]

How can you be a man and not like beer? I think we need to revoke some man licenses around here. Tucker is still young and still has time to convert. By the time you are of legal drinking age, then you have to like beer. It is a man rule.

[SirFozzie]

Uh, No.

Says the person who's never had an alcoholic drink in his life ;)

[Pumpy Tudors]

I don't drink, but I used to steal my dad's beer when I was 4. I drank about 12 ounces each week, which was kinda rough on me at the time. Until a few weeks ago, the only drink I'd had since was a sip of champagne at my wedding, and that's only because everybody there was watching me.

Now, as to what happened a few weeks ago, I sort of got urged into sipping a Thai beer called Sing Ha at a Thai restaurant. The owner or manager or something just gave me a bottle, and even after I insisted that I didn't really want it, he kept saying, "DRINK! DRINK! IT GOOD BEER! TASTE LIKE HEINEKEN! YOU DRINK!" Well, I took a sip, and my eyes nearly rolled right out of my head. It was horrid. I know it wasn't the best beer in the world, but I realized that I didn't really like the beer taste anyway, much less whatever shit the bottling company in Thailand put in it. At least the entire experience was redeemed by this same gentleman telling me that he was Thailand's version of Rambo, and he killed 200 men in order to get out of the jungle and buy a Thai restaurant in uptown New Orleans.

God bless America.

[flere-imsaho]

Look guys, it's not just about being a man. If you don't drink beer you'll die in an avalanche (http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~fof/forums/showthread.php?t=35290), OK?

[SirFozzie]

BTW, I'm surprised we're getting to the 20 post mark on this thread, and nobody's popped up with..

"Drinking Guiness on FOFC???"


BRILLIANT!

[CamEdwards]

i'm not a beer drinker either. every now and then i'll have a hefeweizen. otherwise i stick with diet coke.

[Marc Vaughan]

Not a great Guiness fan myself (still convinced it should be served by the slice not pint ;) ) ... although my wife loves it.

If you're introducing yourself to drinking I'd suggest alcopops ... hmmm WKD ...

[Schmidty]

Guinness - The beer for psuedo-beer connoisseurs!!!!!

Hey at least it is not as blatant in these regards as Heineken :D

[NoMyths]

Guinness - The beer for psuedo-beer connoisseurs!!!!!Bah...I enjoy a good beer, and while there are plenty of other beers that I consider great, Guinness is always a great-tasting option.

On the other hand, I'd be interested to hear what you'd hold up as being better than Guinness in its class, Schmidty.

I'd consider a Black & Tan to be better than a Guiness! ;)

[33sherman]

I like Guinness, but it's definitley a weird beer--it's know for being filling, which it is, but I always found it to have a strange 'watered-down' taste, does anyone know what I'm talking about?

[JonInMiddleGA]

does anyone know what I'm talking about?

No.

And apparently, neither do you.

:D ;)

[Bomber]

If you're going to drink Guinness you have to go with the Extra Stout. 4.0% alcohol is just too weak to catch even a little buzz on, even Bud Light has more.

Funny to say that your a "man", since your not even of legal drinking age. I think a man is not about what you drink/or don't drink. :rolleyes:

[Huckleberry]

Excuse me for interrupting, but up above is that a double post of an out-of-order post display broken up by the post to which its replying?

That has to mean something. Like the end of the world.

So you would feel the same way about a man drinking a white wine spritzer as you would someone drinking a glass of scotch?

[Airhog]

I don think there is something you can do that makes you a man. Its all in how you act.

[SunDancer]

Wouldn't matter to me. What if a man was drinking coke, not alcohol? I don't really look at what a person does to decide if they are a man or not.

I think it was Winston Churchill that said, "There are two kinds of problem drinkers, those who drink too much, and those who drink too little."

[bbor]

i'll have a hefeweizen.

I love you CamEdwards.

Hefe is the best beer EVER.

You drink the dark or the light?

[DanGarion]

Don't base your affection for beer on Guinness, not everyone can enjoy a stout, it's really an aquired taste. Try a hefeweizen or a pale/brown ale. Guinness is like bread it's so thick and bitter.

Yeah..Guinness is something you love or hate. I'm the later.

[Airhog]

I have yet to find a beer that I like. Im beginning to think I just dont like the hops.

[Mr. Wednesday]

What have you tried?

[Airhog]

Not a whole bunch. But I have had your standard fare of domestic beers. They all taste the same to me. About the only thing I have ever liked, but its not beer is smirnoff ice.

[Mr. Wednesday]

If you can find it easily and haven't already marked it off as not for you, you might want to give Shiner Bock a try. It should be available where you live.

Beer is an acquired taste. The more you drink of it, the more you'll like it and figure out what you like best. If you want something that most people like, try an amber beer, like Alaskan Amber.

[Sharpieman]

I like the Fat Tire myself. I don't know if they have it on the eastcoast though.

[JeeberD]

Dola, if you can find it easily and haven't already marked it off as not for you, you might want to give Shiner Bock a try. It should be available where you live.

You are a wise, wise man...

Fat Tire would probably be #2 on my list of favorite beers... :)
