How did I go so long without trying this beverage of the gods?  ($9/6 might have had something to do with it, too.)

Was out to dinner last night, and ordered a Guinness.
Me: "I'll have a Guinness" Waitress: "We have '_insert name here_' Stout, it's the same thing." Me:
Waitress: ".....I'll check to see if we have Guiness." 5 minutes later, she comes back to the table. Waitress: "Here's a Guiness...I could tell that anything else wouldn't do for you..." |

Like milk, its better from the tap. This. Best served from the tap, and NOT refrigerated/chilled. Should be at around 10 deg F below average room temp ( think wine/beer/vegetable cellar temps, for those that live in places these are common) or about 50-55 deg F Not being a snob here, it really is WAY better this way than chilled, as I discovered while on port call in England. |

Years back I would always take a vacation day on St Patrick's day. Sleep in, then get up and buy a 6 pack of Guiness and buy four cheeseburgers from Wendys. Then me and the black lab would sit on the front porch and eat two hamburgers each. The lab would sleep by my chair as I drank Guiness and watched the cars go by. I miss that ol'dog.... |

Like milk, its better from the tap. I will have to try that. And, if what you did there is what you were intending to do, I think I see what you did there. ETA: I have not tried the bewbie milk.  In order of best: Straight from James Gate From a tap Poured into a glass from the cans Bottles are meh. Oh and welcome, my son. 
I usually buy 6-10 packs of 8 cans when they drop to $8-9 a box. That happens once a year if I'm lucky. I'd buy more if I had more money. I actually haven't had any alcohol in a while though so I guess that's a moot point now. |

I like both.  If it started off chilled I want it to stay chilled. If it was warm when I bought it then it can go either way.

All Pilots are Drunks and Perverts. Looks like you are doing well on point 1. You are severely lacking on point 2. Bewbie milk is awesome, btw. |

Local COSTCO had a 24pk flat of the big cans for $25.99 That is a smoking deal That's about the sales price I get it so if I saw that I'd buy at least 2 of those if not more. Last time I bought $80 worth and got 10 packs. I gave 2 away unfortunately.

I had a Guinness black lager a week ago. It was really good I've been wanting to try that. I never cared for Extra Stout. Foreign Extra Stout is actually okay. Black Lager is okay as well. I'd stick with the regular draught though.
