I like Guinness. It's a decent irish stout that is widely available, and without it, nitro beers would probably be a lot harder to find. But it is fairly popular among the "lesser-refined" beer crowd. Lot's of folks who basically just drink the cheap American rice lagers also like Guinness. But the mystique surrounding it for them is kind of funny. I've heard many people talking about how !@#$ed up they've gotten on Guinness because it is so strong. But as us refined, completely non-snobby beer connoisseurs know, it is equal in strength to a Coors Light. Always fun to bring up this little fact when someone is talking about the strength of Guinness.
Wow! I've heard the same thing from a co-worker of mine who insists that Guiness gets him drunk faster than other beers of the same abv. He also tells me he enjoys "ice cold" Guiness in a 22 oz. frosted mug at his favorite restaurant. whatever!
