Inquiring mind here that would like to know.

Holly, It’s because Guinness is good for you!
It’s an acquired taste. I graduated SFQC in Apr 87 and two weeks later I was on a plane for England to stage for my first trip with my team. My first Guinness was at a little pub outside of RAF Sculthorpe on that trip with a few guys from the team and a couple of SAS blokes. From that point on, regular brew just won’t do.
OK a Mr. F treat (you will agree after trying it): take one pint Guinness and pour slowly into a glass, then take one shot of Captain Morgan’s spiced rum and pour that in. It will take any bitter edge off, gives it almost a hint of caramel flavor, and it will hit you twice as fast. It’s called an “Irish Pirate”. Make sure you use the normal Captain Morgan’s spiced rum and not their black rum, or it becomes an Irish Butt Pirate and tastes like ass…don’t do that.

Guinness is more than just beer.
At the end of a long day, there's nothing quite like getting into some comfortable clothes, trading the boots for flip-flops, and sitting on the back porch watching the kids play.
Not using a frozen mug would be heresy.

Echos, it's a fad, the beer tastes like crap. "Bread in a bottle" served to the poor in instead of lunch for centurys.
Most who drink it, can't taste anything anyway due to destroyed taste buds.

If you're only drinking Guinness out of a bottle, then you are missing the real experience. Proper pour of a draught pint is art

Hell, I think I will get me one now. I like mine to be in the proper glass...which I have, and let it sit for about 3-5 minutes before I take the first drink..ahhh...goes down smooth.
Longrange, you know I Love Ya, and still sing your TRUNKSLAMMER praises, but I will have to disagree with you on this one.

I drink Guinness when I want a governor on my beer consumption. Happened recently.

Sir,
I have heard that Guinness is best from the tap, and am looking forward to Mr. Furious's suggestion of trying it with rum! YUM.
Am hoping to get a full-on experience, as weak and limp flavors are not my thing.

I have found yet again another nugget of wisdom here at PS.com.
On vacation for a couple of weeks, so alcohol consumption need not be restricted to the evening.
Been drinking 2 or 3 Guinness "instead of lunch."
It's been wonderful!
Thanks for the suggestion!

Try a real German hefeweizen dunkle sometime. That's like eating half a loaf of bread. The volks in Bavaria have some pretty strong traditions on liquid lunches. They justify it because it contains hops, malt, and barley.
