I am assuming in Ireland it just tastes like shit. Mass produced shite with a huge marketing budget. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for massively intensive campaigns of stunningly brilliant advertising it would have gone the same way as Mild or Brown ale. Fair play to Guinness they have developed a supremely strong brand but it's totally style over substance.

Ingram85 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 It's just a drink guys. It isnt horrible, it isnt great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 It’s just a drink. But a superior one to all the Coors / Bud / Carling piss lager that has to be served cold enough for the faint but nasty taste to be neutralised. I would recommend people maybe branch out a little and try more regional variations, Brains Dark and Brains Black are actually decent pints these days. I’ll be in to folk music next, and making my own cardigans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I don't personally like them but they are minor interest drinks whereas Guinness is an international juggernaut and I belive it's due to good advertising rather than the quality of the drink itself. Similar to how Carling Black Label became the biggest selling lager in the UK by Miles despite being frankly the poorest beer ever made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were my parents it would have been a homemade job from Primark! I’m guessing the costumes came from the wardrobe department (including the Elvis one) and someone has decided to put a new spin on it with the caption. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
