Many times!
Why the guilty conscience?

Guinness was the first beer I ever drank, and remains as my all time favorite commercial beer. If I had a bottlecap for every time I've been hammered on Guinness, I could supply everyone on this site for life.

Many a good night has been spent with a pint of the black stuff.

It takes me many Guinness to do the trick...and I love it.

Just bought a new puppy this past weekend and named him Guinness

I remember the time I tried it for the first time at 16 in Paris. I dumped it down the sink.

Then it was the first beer I drank in London when I got there at 21. That's the moment I got past BMC.

Then I remember the time I got to one of my favorite bars in state college to find that Guinness was half price. Yikes.

Now, I honestly don't find the taste all that impressive, and yet I have a neon signs, posters, and pint glass after pint glass with the Guinness name on it. Funny how a beer can have a lot more value to it than just the way it tastes. Or how it gets you hammered.

IMO, Guinness draught is pretty crap. Tho, I love the foreign extra stout.

I think the main reason most people love Guinness is because they associate it hand in hand with all the misconceptions about Ireland and the 'dude' factor of owning Guinness fratboy posters.

Though, Guinness and Paddy's (whiskey) makes for a great night!

I love it for the memory of snowboarding all day long, drinking Guinness all night, then waking up and finishing up my pint for breakfast before heading back to the slopes.

The remains of that pint that I drank for breakfast was probably the best beer I've ever had, ever. Its maybe not so much the beer in cases like that, but the memories we associate with them. I also remember running around Caye Caulker in Belize eying all the "Guinness Is Good for You" signs on the "bars". SWMBO's sister and I got one of them for the price of two pints. Okay..maybe THAT pint was the best pint of Guinness I ever had......

naw.

Or maybe it was the pint I drank in Massachusetts right after a 3 day road trip in a 1964 Nova SS convertible with three friends..the car overheated, broke an oil pan(we spent a night on a flatbed trailer at the tow company in South Dakota, whole other story!) and I spent a good part of the trip cooling down the ignition control module with a coke can. Three days, coast to coast, in a car that had just been put through it inaugural trip around the block after being rebuilt.

Guinness for me isn't all just about the beer, its what I associate with it. Its a great beers!
