Once again, thank you for contacting Guinness & Co. We look forward to serving you in the future!

So I guess their big secret to Guinness is it does not contain hops. The smithwicks list, compared to the Guinness list is rather short, so I guess smithwicks is some big concoction of rye, milk, lard, and eggs. Also the smithwicks does contain roasted malted barley but no mention of that in the Guinness.

Next to no useful info but it put a smile on my face.

That cracks me up!

Wait it said nothing about not having bird feathers.:cross:

 

[llazy_llama]

I also do not see anything saying that either brew does not contain rat semen, so clearly both bevereages include them.








Edited: Before someone jumps on me, I friggin love Guinness, and Smithwick's isn't bad either. This was sarcasm.

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

Nor rat feces. Maybe that's how they get the color?

Also doesn't say it contains goat cum either.

I'm really going to have to consider drinking another Guinness till they clarify the above!!

Heck by process of elimination you are on your way to reverse engineering their recipe. All you have to do now is to build a recipe using everything NOT listed and adjust to proportion.

Its no secrete guiness gets its signature flavor from dead rats in the ferment kettles.

 

[llazy_llama]

Perhaps it's dead rats copulating with live rats. Personally, I don't care if it's rats, cats, dogs, or badgers, I just love the stuff.







I've been to Korea. I've eaten worse.

 

[Denny's Evil Concoctions]

I believe Guinness is just fermented rat feces and hop oil.

Still better than BMC.

Did you really go to a Kigogi house? I did. It was interesting. However after seeing one of the Kigogi farms..... I wish I hadnt.

 

[GunnerMan]

SO rat crap is what ive been missing! Guess I need to go collect, and roast some.
