I think it scored the highest.

I don't know what's funnier. The fact that guiness scored the highest, or that people actually drink that piss.
Here's a real website:
http://www.ratebeer.com
But take note for the website I've given. Darker beers are highly biased for on that website, while all non dark beers and seen as piss, but most of the reviews are honest.

As well it should, it's the best beer on earth. No other beer is even good enough to share a bar with Guiness. Guiness rules & the others are just yellowish water.
A Canadian girl I know told me a joke about american beer once, She said;
"American beer is like having sex in a canoe....it's the closest thing to F*****G water you're likely to find.":rofl
-
You didn't happen to be in a canoe at the time did you?;)
srry...couldn't resist. And I have been quaffing a few fine Canadian ales this evening :)

ahhh, I am a beer god. Gueinnss stout my favorite brew.
-
Guiness as far i've been told isn't a beer, it's a stout. Now i've been told that by many off the boat irish men and women. So if that's the case, it can't win a beer contest, because its not a beer.....
But what the hell is a stout??? :huh
Warsteiner, is my favorite beer. Close 2nd is becks.
Strangest beers i've had.. "Bumbling Idiot"
and "Old Devil", which were both pretty good by the way.
-
Guinness is the worst stout I've ever had.
beeradvocate is a better beer guide.

The best beer ever made is the one you have just poured up in your mug that you....
....formulated yourself
....brewed yourself
....watched the fermentation like a mother hen yourself
....secondaried yourself
....cleared yourself
....bottled yourself
Best rule of thumb for brewing is still the K.I.S.S. system. Hard to improve on perfection.
-
I prefer Murphy's to Guinness but then you can get Guinness almost everywhere.
They had a few of my faves on that list including Paulaner Dunkel Hefe Weizen which is really lovely. How on earth could they include Becks and Spaten though which are absolutely terrible.
Quite disappointed to see some really nice UK ales missing though found it amusing that Newcastle Brown Ale was included because it's dire! lol
-
I agree Jakal, although I don't brew I have had some damn good home brews in the past. Keep it alive.

Guiness rules, but not every pint of Guiness is the same. Only the really good old school Irish bars here have good Guiness, everywhere else it's flat and bland (still better than light-colored pisswater, though). I try to get my friends to drink it, but they hate it lol. They think Miller Lite is a good beer. LOL.
-
A beer rating with only one belgian and it's "primus".
Allow me to laugh at you. :lol

:lol
Allow me to laugh back.

I understand that the export (slightly stronger) Guinness doesn't have water from the River Liffey and is inferior to the genuine Guinness. Luckily my local Irish bar have their's delivered straight from Ireland.

There's no bias when it's a fact :)

Yeah it's a joke. Belgians make some of the worlds best beers. Ireland makes two mediocre beers. And I've never had a belgian beer that wasn't better than both of them.
Guinness gets overrated I think because most people compare it to canned rice malt beverage instead of other stouts.
My personal favorite nonmicrobreweds are weihenstephaner premium, old peculier, samual smith's lager, and the Chimays.

That's true when it comes to taste everybody has a different opinion and none are wrong, just some are more right than others.
-
Once again, Holden makes a fool at of all of you.
-
Yes by pointing out the futility of debating matters of subjective taste he's unwrapped an epiphany for all of us.
Fools all of us!
-
I don't drink a lot of beer, and wouldn't pretent to speak to what is a good beer versus bad, and truthfully it is too subjective to declare one the best, but I never really liked Guiness.
-
Never liked Buttwiper, I mean budwieser but look how many people drink it. And "bud light" is even more weak & popular at that ( I shudder at the thought ) I would rather drink hot milwaukees best.
Imported Mexican beer is popular here, I do like the Dos Equis (XX) amber lager, but I hate Corona. Taste; it is a matter of taste.

I don't like Bud much either, I tend to drink an MGD when I am in the mood for beer.

"I would rather drink hot milwaukees best."
Heh, after P.O.C. was no longer available (went out of business in the 80's), my old man drank Milwaukee's Best, largely because it was the cheapest stuff out there. He drank better than a case a day; the local Stop-N-Go stocked the stuff just for him. Without him as a customer anymore, I half expect Milwaukee's Best to go out of business anytime.
P.O.C. beer and Pall Mall cigarettes are two of my earliest memories.

I'm a Hefe Weizen & Pilsner fan, i cant understand someone saying Guiness is the
best beer, its a complete different brew, complete different taste,
i like it, but its nothing i would drink daily ;) *cheers*

Check this review:
Westvleteren Abt 12 - Infinite gratitude to Jeffin7 for this 3 year old sample. That kid didn’t miss school the day that they taught sharing. Murky, brown pour with a medium sized, tan head. The aroma is very rich with lots of ripe fruit, apple pie, plums, pears, candi sugar. The flavor is well blended and superbly complex, toffee, pears, golden raisins, candi sugar, very rich. The mouthfeel is very soft, smooth and lucious. Believe the hype.
:huh

thanks beerqueers, now beer is as ghay as wine.
whaever happened to "lets go pound some brews"?
-
Never touch the stuff. Couldn't see the sense in downing something in large quantities just to acquire a taste for it.
:D

Those guys are still around, they're cool, when I see them at the drive through window or working on the elevator or something I allways throw them props that are TV or sports oriented, they like that.
We need those guys, they're the heart and soul man, country couldn't run without them.

hefe ? you mean yeast ?

I think he means hefeweissen, "cloudy white" beer. Essentially wheat beer without fining ingredients, the ingredient that is added to beer to make it clear.
-
Hefe Weizen... it ain't dark, but it's still good.
-
Being a connoisseur of any beer that cost less than $9.99 a 24 pack… (If you can find a 30 pack for that price you get bonus points…) I never found Guinness to be … Well... Even remotely enjoyable.
Then it was explained that this type of beer requires an acquired taste. I would guess it’s something like being a masochist. That is, you most likely wouldn’t want someone to beat the crap out of you with a whip on the very first night… you would probably just start with a little paddling.
I suppose in beer and in love, if you want to stand out from the crowd, you need to work up a tolerance for the truly unpleasant.
-
IMHO Guiness is a great diversion from your ordinary brew. In order to truly enjoy it you must not think of it as a "beer" because it isn't, it's far from it. Think of it as a different type of beverage, nothing like a regular beer. If you've broken in your beer palate on Bud, Miller and Coors then, yes, it's going to take a little getting used to. I don't think it's the be-all-end-all of brews but it is a nice break from your normal brewed beverage.
-
I love Budweiser. Definitely one of the best light lagers. Funny, Labatts makes Bud in Canada and it tastes just like all the other crap up there. It's also the best selling beer in Canada now.:lol
-
Ironically (or maybe not so) labatts is crap itself.
But Molson and Molson Golden are some of my favorite beers.

Well - who would have thought it: A thread from Dago about an alcoholic beverage! Dago, I guess you must be human after all! :p;)

I'm glad someone brought this up, and I used to believe this myself, until I had a conversation with the landlord of my local pub about this. He swore blind that it was all the same stuff, and that the Guinness being better in Ireland was a myth, or - to use his own words - a load of bollocks. Stang, you're not wrong, but there's a reason for why the Guinness is better in those Irish bars. One word: Throughput. If you go to an English pub, most men will be drinking pints of bitter. On an average weekday night with about 30 people in my local's public bar, you might see one or maybe two people drinking Guinness, or none at all. So when you order a pint, the first half pint is what has been sitting in the pipe, downstream of the cooler getting warm, and warm Guinness certainly is crap - in fact it won't even pour properly if warm.
Now compare that with a pub in Temple Bar, Dublin. Around 75% of the men will be drinking Guinness. It takes a couple of minutes to pull a pint of Guinness - the pour, the settle, the top-up - and if you go up to the bar to order Guinness, the staff will already have a couple half poured ready to meet the demand as people arrive. He'll finish pouring those he's started pouring, and bring it over to the table for you. Most of the people around you will be drinking Guinness so you know that yours is a fresh pint. In fact they sell so much that some pubs have a side-by-side double tap which pours two at a time - a bit like an espresso machine!

Like the Paulaner ?
Not my favorite but good enought.

aquired taste? i suppose one could "aquire" a taste for anything. take dog**** for an example. :huh

Yeah Paulaner makes a good hefe weissen, but I think that their oktoberfest marzen is their best.
For most people Paulaner is the gateway beer. Once you've had it you know what beer is, and you'll never go back to watered down malted rice again unless you're an alcoholic.
-
Its not the beer, its how much. After a case you can't tell a Bud from Lysol, and I've drank many bottles of Lysol!
If I want something that taste good, I drink a coke or chocolate malt. If I want to get drunk I'll drink tequila. Beer is a good time filler between shots of tequila. Who cares how it tastes? There's really a magazine for drinking beer? That is so weird:O
-
Paulaner hefe weissen is by far the best beer I ever had. Im from the US and my wife is from Germany. We went over to visit her family in zweibrucken, thats when i had my first taste of Paulaner's. It had a sweet taste to me... absolutely amazing flavor.
I can not wait to go back to visit again...its been 2 years now. Went over for octoberfest 2 years ago...what a crazy time that was.

LOL...good one. I started out on buttwiper & busch. I think Guiness tastes like chocolate milk, especially when you get the foam just right & it goes down like a frothy milkshake of rich nutty goodness. I think I'll go have one.:D
-
beer ain't drinkin
-
They make guiness by giving a lot of guys a lot of gin to drink, then they go out behind the Guiness building to the peat bog to relieve themselves, they then let the piss/peat ferment a bit and then sell it to you. I would rather drink Icehouse
-
All this talk about beer... Then I was invited to a cookout & barn dance tonight! I ran to the store, bought a 12 pack of Schlitz and all the fixins for homemade ice cream.
Life is good!
