The Rant Thread

[MTK]

Most light beers are crap and have no taste. Still, I'm not against pounding down Miller Lite or Amstel Light when the time is right.

How you can compare Guinness to MGD64 is beyond me.

Just the mention of Guinness makes my mouth water. We went to an Irish Fest this weekend and Guinness was flowing like water. It brought a tear to my eye.

I don't like it myself. Maybe I don't have enough hair on my chest but Guinness is just not for me. Had it one time when I took my best friend out for his birthday for one of those Get Fucked Up nights cause he turned 30. The night went to shit once the G came into play. We had got nice and baked then went to Remmingtons in College Park to get something to eat. So we order and I got this Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Bacon and Cheddar Cheese with some fries I think and a Heineken. Later I got a Remy on the rocks. He orders some Chicken Sandwich with Crab dip on it plus some Crab Dip for an appetizer. Thinds really went south when he looked at me and said "You gonna have a Guinness with me?"

Now me trying to be a good friend I say hey, the wife is sleep with the boy, I won't be getting that tonight so F it. So I get the G with him, we toast his 30 and take our sips. He taps out after about 3 sips saying that his stomach feels a little fucked. I drink half of mine. We leave because they had a DJ and it started to pack a little too much for us and besides we still had about 3 J's left for the night. We leave Remmington and decide to hit the Bowling Alley in Crofton. To get the taste of Guinness out of my mouth I ate a piece of this gum I had, some nasty shit. He asks me for some and I tell him it's horrible and he should leave it alone. On 50 we're tokin and he's chewing the gum, we get off of 50 at the 197 Bowie. While coming up on Bowie Town Center we're at that first light, there's a PG in the right lane so I'm in the left lane because I know if I get pulled over I'm not going to enjoy the night. He says that his head is spinning, i tell him to go to sleep. He sits up and rolls my window down. Pukes all of his food on the side of my van. I'm laughing my ass off, cars are honking and I pull into the parking lot of the Safeway and he's still puking.

I look at my van while he's hunched over yelling at the gravel. Funny ass night. We ended the night with going to CVS so he can pick up a toothbrush (I keep toothpaste in my car) and then go to Bowiling Alley so he can brush his teeth and wash the shame off his face.

So I said all of that to say this. Guinness isn't for me. Too heavy of a beer.

Not to be a beer nerd, but a lot of places really don't serve Guinness right.

Find a place that cleans their taps out semi-regularly, and that has the Guinness nitrogenized, instead of carbonated. It's also not wise to do it whilst on a full stomach or hammered.

Try a place like Fado in Chinatown, or The Dubliner on F & North capitol.

It's a common saying that you'll hate your first three Guinness, then love every one after that... but it's not for everyone.

[MonkFan4Life]

Yeah I think it may not be for me. I love beer just not Guinness. Sort of like I love pork but I will never eat Chitterlings or Chittlins as we really say it. It's for some just not for me. I'll get a Red Stripe or something. I really think its just the heavy beer thing because when I go to The Gordon Bierch I always get the Heffeweizen and nothing heavier. My homies will always get the other seasonal beers but they are always too harsh IMO.

[MTK]

Guinness really isn't a heavy beer though, it's surprisingly light in calories and carbs.

In comparison to other stouts and porters out there, Guinness is actually pretty tame.

But if it's not your thing I get it.

Yea I had one when I turned 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and just about any other occasion and I guess thats why I now look 50.

It is also light in carboantion (sp). I use to go this bar near my house in NOVA and I would order a Guiness and drink it down in one glup, actually very easy becasue it is lightly carbonated. the bartender use to think it was crazy I could do that and would always give me the next one free.

Try a Arogant Bastard from Stone Brewing and Guiness will seem like OJ the next time you drink it.

Well I really drink some bitch beers then because Guinness was like drinking syrup. I may try it again but it has to be one of those hanging out with everyone and I just happen to drink one kinda deals.

It's not supposed to have any carbonation. The real deal stuff uses Nitrogen instead of carbonation, so it gives it that smooth creamy taste. That's why Guinness cans and bottles have that little widget inside of it, because that releases the nitrogen and helps it maintain the creamy consistency.

Another driving rant...

Heading to Wawa to grab a quick lunch, and some woman driving her soccer-mom grocery-getter, starts floating into my lane because she was too fucking busy texting on her enV with 2 hands...and from looks of things she wasn't using her knees or elbows to hold the damn steering wheel. It was only after I bailed into the right turn lane for the Wawa did she realize what she was doing and correct herself. That's a case of where I wish we all had bumper car style bumpers on our vehicles, so I could have sent her flying into a frickin' tailspin!

[Trample the Elderly]

Murphy's Stout is cheaper than Guinness and tastes just as good.

I want a car with a computer chauffeur. I tell it where I want to go, a nice soft feminine voice repeats it back and says enjoy the trip (heck, maybe it can read me my favorite book), and then it drives me where I need to get to. F... driving myself!
