I nominate Guiness as the official beer of Literotica

[AngeloMichael]

And I haven't even tried it yet.
(Edit: the beer not the, uh well...nevermind)


But with this commercial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH7bjIajc0A

it has earned a place in my heart, as well as other parts of me.

Using sex to sell beer is nothing new, but this commercial perfects it!

 

[Stella_Omega]

*is Speechless*

That's really um...

yeah, it really is!

But I cannot believe you've never tried Guiness, man. What do you usually drink?

 

[litfan10]

Wow, I thought Guinness was a staple of society. For an extra kick try cutting it fifty/fifty with Michelob - very tasty.

While Guinness and the commercial are great, my heart belongs to Irish Red. Go Killians!!

 

[Katyusha]

*jawdrop* WOW.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

While the commercial is...cute...and does reflect some of the writing here at lit, the beer itself should not garner the place in everyones heart just because of this commercial.

And, while Guinness (that's with two n's) has been used as a comic line or two on one of my favorite shows:

"Gee, sir, I hope you like Guinness, I find it's a great substitute for...food."

it doesn't mean I would go so far at to even nominate the potent brew. Also, having drank my share of the medicine called beer, I will say the taste is interesting and provides a change from what I normally drank back in the day, I would not recommend it as a staple in someones fridge.

(Can only tell me what show that line if from?)

 

[TE999]

Clever commercial---however, I prefer Bass Ale.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

That commercial always makes me want to look at porn.

*goes to look at porn*

Tried guiness and hate the stuff

There are plenty of other, more complex and satisfying brews that could be the 'official' beer of Literotica..............there are quite a few here in the Pacific Northwest whose flavor evokes the raw musk of sexual attraction while maintaining an ethereal restraint......and that nameless mystery we all crave.......I've probably had too much of the damned stuff tonight.....(too much is just enough!!!)

Gimme a good pilsner, or something meaty like Stella Artois.

If you had ever tried Guinness, you wouldn't even nominate it as "beer," let alone as a favorite or official anything.

I've heard a rumor that in a blind taste test, eight of ten testers prefered used 50 Wt motor oil to Guinnes.

I'lll second Killian's Irish Red if we must have an "official Lit Beer" but I prefer a good Brown Ale to just about anything.

I have alway referred to Guinness as medicine as it reminded me of some I had to choke down when I was a child.

I prefer Ambers to Browns or Reds, they are usually smoother but the hops and malts come through to give it a mellow taste. As alcohol is not desirable to me, yet I like the taste of beer I have found that O'Douls Premium Amber is actually quite good.

Be sure to try it. And watch for my next story series Emily's Bet * chapters). I just finished submitting it today so it should be showing up in another few days. It has a major British character and lots of Guinness Beer.

Guinness isn't a beer and never has been. More accurately it is a dark porter or stout.

In some countries you could be prosecuted for calling it beer because of the chemicals used in making it. Czech Republic and Germany for examples have very strict rules that only water hops and barley(malt) can be used to make any beer product.

 

[Miss_Pixie]

I don't even like beer...

Whiskey, if there's no tequilla.

Smirinoff ice if I want something fruity.

 

[oggbashan]

Guinness advertising has been provocative for generations. A history of Guinness advertising is almost required reading for any advertising newbies.

Personally, I don't appreciate Guinness.

But Shepherd Neame?

That's better.

[trysail]

It's a semi-stupid commercial.


There are times when nothing but a Guinee will do. It makes me smack my lips in anticipation. Its distinctive taste sets it apart from the bland horse pee that gets pawned off as beer in America.


With the hook down in a safe anchorage and after a refreshing swim, there's nothing like relaxing with a cold, tangy "Greenie" in the cockpit after a glorious day sailing down the tradewinds having never touched a sheet.

The only extra to be added to Guinness is Champagne.

Oh YES!
And the Beer's not bad, either.

 

[fieryjen]

Am I the only one who thinks this looks like the most boring sex ever? That girl is hardly even moving!

And I like Guinness.

 

[trysail]

Damnit, now I'm thirsty and drooling!

From Wiki:
Guinness (pronounced /ˈɡɪnɪs/ GIN-is) is a popular Irish dry stout that originated in the brewery of Arthur Guinness (1725–1803) at St. James's Gate, Dublin. Guinness is directly descended from the porter style that originated in London in the early 18th century and is one of the most successful beer brands worldwide. A distinctive feature is the burnt flavour which is derived from the use of roasted unmalted barley (though this is a relatively modern development since it did not become a part of the grist until well into the 20th century). For many years a portion of aged brew was blended with freshly brewed product to give a sharp lactic flavour (which was a characteristic of the original Porter). Although the palate of Guinness still features a characteristic "tang", the company has refused to confirm whether this type of blending still occurs. The thick creamy head is the result of the beer being mixed with nitrogen when being poured. It is popular with Irish people both in Ireland and abroad and, in spite of a decline in consumption since 2001[1], is still the best-selling alcoholic drink in Ireland where Guinness & Co. makes almost €2 billion annually.

I keep underestimating how devisive an issue beer/stout/ale is. "I can live with your politics and religion but you don't like/do like such-and-such beer?!! We can no longer be friends!"

When I'm out with friends I'll sometimes have a Corona or two, I suppose that's horse piss with a wedge of lime, sometimes I'll have a heiniken. But I never keep beer or any alcohol in the house unless I'm having friends over or a party or something.

Scratch the nomination but I still like the commercial.

I have to agree. Guiness is the same colour and consistency as liquid mud. Eeergh.
