Was taking a wizz at a local restaurant and saw this above the urinal. While all of the suggestions made me want to cringe (with the exception of the Blacksmith)....the bottom one made me want to cry.
Guinness sign.

It's a crime to mix anything with Guinness.
Beer is not a toy.

now this is a wise man^
the one thing us irish boys like to mix with guinness is more guinness.
Hear hear! Total agreement. I prefer my beer to be one at a time.

Hope the statute of limitation has passed for all those black & tans I've drank over the years.
It's their way of reducing bad stock

As long as you've repented - I'm sure the beer gods will be merciful.

I am going to take a more positive position on this subject and present the view that these terrible combinations serve to turn drinkers of crappy beer to drinkers of great beer.
Although it perplexes a majority of us, the fact remains that many people shudder at the thought of drinking a whole glass of Guinness. Hopefully they drink a few of these, learn to like them and then question WHY they like them. They will reach full beer development when they realize that the reason they enjoy those combinations is because of the warm feeling they get in their loins at the anticipation of the dark heavenly bliss that floats in the upper portion of the glass. The sign is a good thing!

True, but for the life of me and can't see how adding Bud Lite will make anyone like beer at all....LMAO.
sure, take all the fun outta it!
no, you're right, things like black n tans and the like tend to let BMC drinkers realize that guinness isn't the thick, strong motor oil they once assumed it is. dunno if that's a good thing or not, guinness itself has been slipping in quality for some time now, and they've seemed to switch their advertising focus to your 'average' beer drinker. that said, it's a good way to open someone up to the wonderful world of craft and imported beers.

Yeah you're right, that is a terrible idea. I took my brother in law to a RAM restaurant and had him try a few of their beers. He took one drink, put a frown on his face and said, "Ehhh, I don't like it," and ordered a Bud Light after that. Mind you this guy drinks nothing but Bud Light. He's been asking for a homebrew for the past few weeks, but I'm on the fence because I don't want to waste My Precious on someone who frowns at great beer.

Never was able to figure out how Guiness was an "acquired taste". Maybe I waited long enough in my beer drinking development to drink it? When I was 18 I was getting an 8 Pack of Keith's and 4 New Castle's to pre game with before the bar. Learned to like almost any darker UK style beer I could get my hands on that way.
On the flip side, I still haven't really found a European beer, ale, lager, pilsner, whatever, that I'd drink more than once.

I had my very first Guinness a few days ago. It tasted pretty good, but both my Deception Cream Stout and my Bourbon Barrel Porter are better! It took me 65 years to drink my first Guinness...and I'll probably wait that long for the second!
