I don't care for it all that much, but everyone tells me the stuff in Ireland is way better than what we get here in the U.S.

Was in Ireland for my 18th Birthday and it was the first beer I had. I loved it there, but it just doesn't do anything for me in the States

no selection for "good beer"??
don't think it's superb
maybe a little over rated....or most recently in the states over commercialized.
I enjoy a good pint of Guiness or a black & tan

I'm with the loopster...somewhere between superb and overrated. It's a solid beer that I don't mind ordering, especially when something like Yuengling is the other "premium/import". I've never had it in Ireland, either, though.

I like Guinness. Sometimes it's REALLY good. Other times it's just OK. I voted superb and overrated at the same time - I think it's probably a bit of both.
I'd like to try it in Ireland just for comparison.

I have drank it in Dublin and Belfast.
I must admit it is better there than the other times I've tried it but I've had it less than 10 times.
I think it's over rated and a lot of people are "afraid" to admit they don't like it because it will make them look uncool or something.

Wasn't "Never tried it and I don't like it." an ad campaign once? I've only had the US version and I'll take just about any micro's stout instead. The widget cans don't cut it.

I like the stuff. The problem around here is, except for a few bars that sell alot of it and can keep the kegs new and fresh, it's usually kinda stale or the bar serves it so cold that you can't taste anything...
