Why Heineken is better than Guiness
The main reason as far as I'm concerned is Heineken goes down better. I can drink a case of Heineken on a good day while, even if very thirsty, I can only manage a few of those evil dark beers.
Heineken is also the drink of chioce for many gigging metal bassists. What more can I say. LOL

Good point but gigging metal
Good point but gigging metal bassists are not the brightest of the bunch.
Also, Hiny-ken is just a more flavorful El Sol where as Guinness has much more body AND flavor And better head.

Whats kinda funny and I like to THINK we had a part in it, my wife only likes Smithwicks ever since she was in Ireland so a few years ago I bombarded the good folks at Guinness to see if we could get some. They said no because Bass was in the stores and they would compete to much with each other. Well a few weeks after my last chat with them Smithwicks started showing up in all the stores around here and has been here since.

Aussie Beer
There is a tradition of making vile, undrinkable beer in Australia.
The large commercial breweries here produce a revolting substance that closely resembles the urine of a syphilitic He-Goat. The most repugnant (and therefore most popular) Australian beer is a nightmarishly vomit inducing swill that goes by the name of Victoria Bitter.
The oerfect beer for Dave and AC
While rearranging the shop today I found my last bottle of the good stuff (not really but the labels are cool) A friend of mine gave me a case of it because he designed the labels for it and had a shyte load around the house.
So for those of you that can not get enough women or booze here ya go

Guinness

Heineken

Re: This Weekend
So I've been trying beers from around the world. Our liquor store allows you to buy one beer at a time. . .
I think that would be worse then places like Utah where you can not by alcohol on Sunday, at least you can stock up on Saturday so you do not run out. Also, in your case (all though you can not get a case ;D), when people have parties I guess it would always be BYOB and even then unless you are saving up you would only have one drink for the entire night.
Can you buy more then one at the pub?
Hazz
Clarification
You can buy as many as you would like at one time. I guess what I meant was that I bought a six pack with six different kinds of imported beer to try. I could buy a pallet of Tui for $6000.00 cdn if I wanted! Also, here in Manitoba we can buy beer from the beer vendor, pre=chilled and ready for consumption. Beer here comes in cans or bottles, 6, 12, 18 or 24 in a case.

Long ago I was drinking shots of Frigate OP rum with some band-mates, for some reason we were lighting the rum up before downing them. I forgot to blow my 4th or 5th one out and spilt it all over one half of my face which caught fire.
It left me beardless and pink on half my face for a week or two.

Let the irishman sort this out
First off, if you're drinking your Guiness chilled, well you are just WRONG! Guiness goes down much easier when room temperature, lest ya live in the tropics, then chill it. It has more flavor, is more filling, and will give you the greatest case of the heads, which doesn't matter cause you are going to drink again to clear it up. Guiness is so good, it kept us from taking over the world ( and we could have too!). Now take your very nice german beer and chase it with a manly beer......GUINESS! btw the reason its harsh when you drink it cold is because IT'S MEANT TO BE DRUNK AT 68 DEGREES, YA PANSIES. Thank you and I love each and everyone of ya.

This big man has an axe to grind....er bass axe, but axe none the less.
Being a yank, I've never
Being a yank, I've never gotten used to the warm beer thing, which is perhaps why I've never been much for beers that are meant to be consumed that way and stick with wussy lagers and pilsners and leave the "real" beers to others. :)
The fact that I can't remember what type of beer I drank the last time I drank a beer clearly indicates that I need to drink more beer. There's actually some Guiness in the fridge (a gift from some friends), but I haven't had one yet. I might have to hit the grocery store and pick up a six of Shiner Bock. I've been on a Shiner Bock kick of late.

Try this
Well we all can't be irish, so nobody's perfect. Lawl. you might want to try this. My favorite beer is called a black and tan. for this you will need a guiness extra stout (draght can prefered) and a bass ale. pour the bass ale in a pilsner glass first, then pouring over a spoon slowly and with the rounded side up, pour the guiness. if done correctly, the guiness should float on top of the bass. thus producing a two stage beer. this should be frosty cold. drink until you cant see anymore, or until you pass out, which ever happens first. this is also a great bartending gag for friends, you might even impress them. have fun.:)
This big man has an axe to grind....er bass axe, but axe none the less.
For the most part I drink my
For the most part I drink my Guinness at room temp when possible but SoCal does not get cool enough to do so during the spring, summer and fall and a lot of times not even during the winter.
Just an FYI
Also, the Guinness in the US is brewed differently then what you find in Ireland, here in the states it is supposed to be tossed in the fridge because the Guinness Brewing Co. KNOWS that most Americans like their brews chilled a lot so the beer is brewed differently to accommodate that.
Well, that is what I was told by my wife who lived in Ireland and by someone at Guinness (I'll have to find the email she sent me). Also, if you look on the label it states, "Serve Extra Cold". Seeing as the avg temp in Ireland is what, 9 to 11C (48.2f to 51.8f) that could be taken as "extra cold" by a lot of people in the US.
By the way, welcome to the site.
