I hope no Dubliner ever reads that.
It's not long calmed down over there and that could restart the troubles. :lol:
OMG Monts it's not only Dubliners who would crack a fucker for a quip like that.

Whether you believe this or not, there is a healthy number of Tennesseans who only drink Guinness given any choice on the question.

I have one mate around 55 years old now who knocks back 15 or 20 pints when given a head start and something substantial to eat.

Guinness days are special days in these parts.

:goteam: :drunk:
Makes you wonder how good their recipe is if they know that little about
beer.
Don't look now but there are some poseurs on the internet, I'm told.

Nobody should be proud of "knocking back" 15 or 20 pints of anything.

Once you get into the world of porters and stouts, Guinness is kinda shit.

Mass produced rubbish for the export market.
The Irish prefer Beamish or small microbrewery stouts.
The best Guiness was always the bottled option as it was a live beer with secondary fermentation in the bottle.
They stopped making it properly about 20 years ago though. Now it's all just keg beer (not real ale) in bottles and cans.

In Asheville, Ninja Porter is best, but I have had the porter from Blowing Rock Brewery two hours north from here and like it better.

Apparently this is one of the best regions in the US for microbreweries.

Must have good local water.

Maybe. Not sure.

Even Sierra Nevada set up down the road from me in Mills River. They are from the West.

We do have our own water supply for this region. It was a major plot point in 3 Seconds After.

There has been a cluster of breweries around Burton (near Manchester) for centuries because of the water which comes from springs in the Pennines.
If you can find local spring water for your mead/ale you can get a better taste and avoid chlorine and fluoride or whatever goes in the tap water in your area.
If you think about it, beer is 95% water so you want the best you can get.

In Kentucky distilling country they make a big deal out of the limestone geology giving them special water. I'm dubious that it's so much better than high quality surface water like Coors is always blabbing about.
We are only accustomed to dealing with like twenty online personas at a time so when we only have about ten people some people have to be strawmanned in order to advance our same relative go nowhere nonsense positions. -TheReal_ND

Yeah, a little digging says it's the water here.

I know that guy who created and runs Sierra Nevada does not fuck around at all. There had to be a reason he'd build a satellite brewery here of all places.
