Message MannyGoldberg beers 208 º places 31 º 09:57 Fri 3/15/2013 Me and my Irish mates be will celebrating this coming Sunday by caning lambics and saisons in the safety of someone’s house. Far away from the part-timers.

Message cgarvieuk P beers 37620 º places 457 º 11:18 Fri 3/15/2013 Black Isle porter. Replaced Guinness in loads of pubs

Message SaintMatty beers 10530 º places 381 º 13:44 Fri 3/15/2013 I am not sure if it’s still the case, but I remember when Hopback replaced Guinness and decided to sell Entire Stout in all of its pubs instead.
Message mR_fr0g beers 29121 º places 44 º 15:11 Fri 3/15/2013 So the guardian could only think of 4 stouts and then skip to a porter. Rubbish.

Message Sigmund beers 13310 º places 446 º 05:39 Sat 3/16/2013 Anything from The Porterhouse would be, if not stellar, at least better than Guinness. AND it would be brewed in a brewery owned by Irishmen, in stead of an evil multinational corporate company.

Message evergreen0199 P beers 5928 º 06:12 Sat 3/16/2013 Porterhouse Oyster Stout made with real oysters would be my Guinness replacement. Available in Covent Garden.
Message harrisoni P beers 25356 º places 68 º 06:58 Sat 3/16/2013 Originally posted by Sigmund Anything from The Porterhouse would be, if not stellar, at least better than Guinness. . Yes any of the standard dark beers are better than Guinness. The Wrasselers in particular is very good.
Message wheresthepath beers 3441 º places 279 º 06:05 Tue 3/19/2013 Always thought Murphys was far better than Guinness anyway. Interested to see the article mentioned Wadworth’s Corvus - a surprisingly excellent stout. Anth
