There's a famous irish cartoon, which depicts a horse drinking out of a trough of guiness and pissing into a trough of Murphy's simultaneously. Seriously, murphy's is rank.R00k wrote:As for Guinness ..... yea, it's shit. I'd much rather have a Murphy's Irish Stout.
Guiness and Jack Daniels...
I'm not a fan of either but Jack isn't so bad. However, being a twenty-something college student living in BFE I tend to drink anything and everything.
My current drinks of choice are:
Labatte Blue/Killians (similar taste but Blue is slightly better)
101 Turkey
Everclear (It's a rough shot but hot damn does it do the trick)

I'm quite surprised there's been less support here for Guinness. It is a nice drink, but probably a fairly acquired taste, and not to everyone's liking. It's popular because people think they look "hard" when they drink it.
Other things about Guinness:
- The "Extra Cold" Guinness on tap is for people who really don't like the taste of it.
- "Guinness and black" (Guinness with a splash of black current) although considered a girly way of drinking Guinness is occasionally a refreshing change, if you want something sweet tasting.
I don't have much to say about JD. I think it's a nice bourbon, but no substitute for a good traditional whisky like J&Bs, GlenMorangie, Bowmore, Jamesons etc. Bell's whisky is ok as a cheap option, but if you're in that price range famous grouse is a better choice.

That would be Guinness in the can, closest to tap as you'll get.[xeno]Julios wrote:I like guinness on tap. And i've had bottle and can, but one of them sucks, and one of them is rather fabulous - i just can't remember which
Yes, JD is crap, but Guinness is delicious. It's just not meant to be consumed by the weak.
