Guinness (A Haiku)

Why is it so good?

I could drink it all day long.

I don't think I should.

Guinness is my favorite beer !!
In fact, most of my friends hate it lol
It does have a VERY dark/bitter taste, and many people so not like the taste of Guinness. I'm however not one of those people :)
I also prefer Sam Adams as well

I used to say wheat beer was my favorite, but now I don't care for the sweetness, except on a warm day. I would have to say Guinness is my favorite, everyday, numero uno beer. A close second would be just about any authentic English pub ale.

I can't drink the canned or bottled stuff. It has to be on tap for me.

It's rare to have it on draught in the US. There just isn't a demand for it. It's too much beer for most people (even though it's not particularly potent or heavy).

One of my favorite beers. Had many Black and Tans but in the end I must admit I never understood the point. Would rather have the concentrated flavors of the original as it was meant to be drunk.

I do enjoy my Guinness, but have you tried any of the Jewbelation beers?

They have a double IPA (called Lenny Bruce) that will knock your socks off and they have an anniversary beer every year that is unbelievable. Last year it was Jewbelation 12 with everything 12's. Twelve hops, twelve malts, twelve percent, wow!

Dark as your soul and rated A- at Beer Advocate!
This year it's 13!!!
