| My first pint of Guinness ('83) was in the village of Wimbledon...that's right..the tennis place. The pub was near the train station in the village a couple of clicks away from the All England Club. Very tasty!!! |

My current favourite is Innes and Gunn, an Edinburgh beer aged in whiskey casks. Yum! I also love Speckled Hen and Faxe.
Domestically speaking, there is nothing like Clancy's or Moosehead Dry. |

REASONS WHY BEER SHOULD BE SERVED AT WORK...
1. It's an incentive to show up.
2. It leads to more honest communications.
3. It reduces complaints about low pay.
4. Employees tell management what they think, not what management wants to hear.
5. It encourages car pooling.
6. Increase job satisfaction because if you have a bad job, you don't care.
7. It eliminates vacations because people would rather come to work.
8. It makes fellow employees look better.
9. It makes the cafeteria food taste better.
10. Bosses are more likely to hand out raises when they are wasted.
11. Salary negotiations are a lot more profitable.
12. Employees work later since there's no longer a need to relax at the bar.
13. It makes everyone more open with their ideas.
14. Eliminates the need for employees to get drunk on their lunch break.
15. Increases the chance of seeing your boss naked.
16. Employees no longer need coffee to sober up. |

"Black and tans" were British troops that occupied Ireland after WWI. (Recall that Ireland rebelled against England in 1916.) For that reason a Guinness (Irish stout) floated onto Bass (British ale) would be a "black and tan."
Guinness with Harp or Smithwick's (Irish ales) would be simply a "half and half," although a lot of bartenders will call all such mixes "black and tan," and use what they have on draught. Guinness issued some promotional materials in the early '90s that endorsed the Guinness-Bass "Black and Tan" concept, but if the bartender is 6'4", weighs 240 & named O'Malley, the Black and Tan FAQ says a black and tan is whatever he says it is!
When poured correctly, the Guinness comes out on top, which is something I'm sure the Irish relish no end! |
