Pint of Guinness?

[Fnaar]

Got a few tinnies of Guinness waiting for me when I get home
St. Pat's day was big when we were kids (Irish parents, you see). Shamrock was sent over from ireland in the post, we wore it and carboard harps on our school uniform, went to church, etc etc. Nowadays it's e-paddy cards to my siblings and relatives and a couple of tinnies when I get home, and try to interest the kids in their heritage

Of Irish disent myself and think when I was younger it was to just try and get us to remember our heritage.

I view it now more to do with the fact I had my first date with Mrs G on St Pats. She's from the other or 'dark side' as well. If I could only change one thing!

My ordered preference is

Guinness
Murphys
Beamish

Beamish always seems a bit watery to me.

If I'm going to drink more than one, it has to be Guinness. After about six I can recall the four verses of "Danny Boy" much to the pain of my wife. My two sons now join in having learned it at school.

but I'm not really a pint drinker. I prefer Whiskey.

You can get whisky by the pint, can't you?

 

[Dayvo]

Anyone going to partake in one today? I am.

I'd like to, but it's £8 a pint here!

 

[Dayvo]

Only after about 10 pints

That explains everything! I've drunk hundreds of pints so far! Maybe it's time to stop, and see what colour ... !

 

[Chromatic]

I might be Irish but I don't actually like the stuff

Murphy's stout is much nicer and I may have an occasional pint of it but I'm not really a pint drinker. I prefer Whiskey.

I prefer Murphys too.

Not my taste. Prefer Harp lager, but will drink Smithwicks or Murphys on occasion.

Someone on the radio this morning asked 'What do the Irish do while the rest of the world wear green and drink Guinness?'

I might have had a pint but I don't really fancy any alcohol, haven't done for months.

Mostly Harp lager from my observations in Dublin and Cork. My preference in the Stout wars are:
Murphys
Guinness
Beamish
then repeat

But never ever extra cold Guinness, I'd rather sober up!

 

[Greedo]

Harp!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have got to be joking. That is the worst drink you can buy in a pub.

I'd rather have a Malibu and coke. Less embarrassing

Not my taste. Prefer Harp lager, but will drink Smithwicks or Murphys on occasion.

 

[Pottsy]

I'm with you Greedo, Harp is lengendarily rubbish lager.

Harp(ic) is one of the worst beers every produced. In fact, most Irish beers are nasty crap, Guinness included. Devoid of anything approaching taste. Gassy, watery, alcohol where the number consumed is all that matters. A few micro breweries do produce some good stuff (Hilden, Whitewater etc.).
