Beer is getting an embarrassing representation in this thread. Coors Light, Bud, Molson Ice.... the heck? You guys all college freshmen?
Guinness in the States, and most of Europe, used to be good, long ago. Then they watered it down to save cost and it became mediocre, a decent session beer, nothing more. Then they introduced some middling variation, Guinness Extra Stout, which is good (only in bottles). I've heard rumors that the real stuff is back, in the form of Guinness Foreign Extra Stout (only in bottles), but I haven't seen it yet.
to be fair, I'm not a drinker and I know Coors Light is liquid piss. I'd rather drink some nice craft beer, but it's just comfortable for me, dammit!
