Grolsch or Heineken?

ah ... shall i be impolitic and remind the world (at large) who won our World Cup challenge this year????

Only because Zidane mistook Materazzi for the ball and tried to head him into the goal....LOL

I don't think I've ever had Guinness on top, because I had it out of a bottle and that was enough. And I wouldn't characterize it as a beer to have a conversation over, because a couple of sips of it, and my mouth is all squeezed together and incapable of speech.

Oops, shouldn't have written that. I can see my husband forcing Guinness down me every night . . .

Neither. Both are crap beers that no respecting beer drinker would consum. They will not even drink it in Holland so have to export it as a "top larger" to the rest of the unsuspecting world.

Give me a Monteiths Summer ale anyday

I do like the Grolsch swing top bottles tho.
Great for putting my home made chilli sauce and chilli oil into.

Both are ok as submarines (you sink a shot of jaegermeister into the glass upside down)...

Of the mainland beers, I'd choose Ayinger over both Heineken and Grolsch. Their Celebrator Doppelbock is outstanding.

My absolute favorite (so far) is Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout. It's a meal unto itself!

O so many kinds of beer around this world
could all of you sent me some samples instead of making me travel around the globe
I love to try them all

Just give me a Kriek!

Now, why anybody would voluntarily drink Guiness is something that has always amazed me. Chew quinine tablets if you want something that bitter!

I'm a member of the Guinness Drinkers Society myself... #6378 I think..

125 cals for a pint.

I had something called Squirrel Nuts the past Friday at HOPS after some fund dives in a local lake. It wasn't bad.

Landshark (margaritaville brew) isn't to bad... Red Stripe isn't bad either.. Bass is decent..

Samual Smith Oatmeal Stout is real nice..

I've brewed some to... made a very... intoxicating (8.5%) brew that was very similar to vitamin G but it had a sweet aftertaste as I bottled with light malt instead of sugar

A raspberry heffeweiss is nice to

The question to answer before the first beer is "Am I drinking because I like the flavor of what I'm drinking or am I drinking to be a video star during moments of blind alcoholic stupidity?" Once you've got that figured beer selection is easy..

Don't like Guiness? Try this:
3/4 pint Guinness® stout
1/2 shot Bailey's® Irish cream
1/2 shot Jameson® Irish whiskey

Add the Bailey's and Jameson to a shot glass, layering the Bailey's on the bottom. Pour the Guinness into a pint glass or beer mug 3/4 of the way full and let settle. Drop the shot glass into the Guinness and chug. If you don't drink it fast enough it will curdle and increasingly taste worse. Chug it down, it tastes like chocolate milk! Its very sneaky though, so be careful

Their Celebrator Doppelbock is outstanding.
