The hops we're familiar with today isn't the same ingredient our ancestors used in their beer. There is a now extinct insect that originally shared the name ("Hops") that used to be thrown in the boil to bitter beer. These hops were so named because they would hop, not unlike a grasshopper.
We don't use them today because even back in ancient times, everyone was into IPAs and the insect quickly became extinct. The hops we use today are generally accepted by the beer council as a poor substitute, but they work fairly well given the circumstances.

Fast? It was up to post 75 or so. I thought it was dragging.

Well, actually ... The "Guinness" in Guinness world records is the same as the brewery. The book was started by Sir Hugh Beaver, then the managing director of Guinness Breweries, to settle bar room arguments.

I don't think that was the "funny" part.
The relationship between the beer and the book is pretty common knowledge.
The idea that the book was started specifically to house records about the beer being great is mildly humorous.

OK, good, that's what I'd hoped, but I wasn't quite sure. I only just learned the link myself a few weeks ago.

I had no idea that there was a link between the two, I just thought that linking them the way I did would be slightly better than mildly humorous.

For what it's worth, I thought the joke was a slightly mild humor with noticeable cheesiness on the nose.

Ha!
I'll be having that apology now, hunter!
Looks like I just got "well-actually'd" for "well-actuallying" a valid "well-actually".
I stand corrected.

Well, actually, yes. You need to line up, to make sure the 10 month old won't miss. It's only fair.

IPAs were created during a hop shortage. Brewers started adding pine trees, mangoes, and grapefruits to mimic the hop flavors. But they added too much and made a new style of beer. They are super strong because of the pine trees making turpentine in the beer. If you drink too many of them, you'll go blind.

I appreciate you letting me borrow them.
Don't worry, I'll return them unwashed, as requested.

In a loud voice say "I am the lizard king, I can do anything, raise your hands if you understand!" Then chug a beer, take a bow & run away laughing. Doing this in front of a cop earns extra points.

Stand beside someone at a bus stop & start off a conversation with "Beer makes me pee..." See how things devolve from there. When the bus gets there, don't get on, just stand there & wave while holding your crotch. Be sure you have a BIG smile.

Scottish beer isn't real beer. It's actually made by carbonating bog water and Scotch Whiskey. That's why it's illegal to pee it the Scottish bogs.
