But Saint Arthur must be spinning in his grave, he made a stronger porter and made it a new type and everybody has been trying to beat him since. Some have but others have not. I was in Ireland this summer and they had Ice COLD Harp and Bud. I asked the publican and he said people wanted cooler beer and I have seen the commercial stating it is Ice Cold Black Lager.<br /><br />But one telling thing in Dublin, One sign on a pub was Guinness as usual. And the Guinness was great there.shamrock1343@aol.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-83441951999760199422011-09-26T23:14:29.071-04:002011-09-26T23:14:29.071-04:00Hey Pumpkin Head i am impressed from the guy who h...Hey Pumpkin Head i am impressed from the guy who has never met a sample he did not like.This new gig you talk about must be given you a new outlook on things.

Looks like Chicago was a test market. Surprised they waited that long. Too bad they didn't keep the anniversary edition around; that wasn't bad at all.Lew Brysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084380741402026573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-31471042730813883752011-09-26T09:56:44.948-04:002011-09-26T09:56:44.948-04:00Maybe it's new to your area.

It's been in Chicago for a couple of years -- might have come out in time for the 150th anniversary alongside the one-off anniversary version and maybe the foreign extra version. Wait, just checked Wikipedia -- they say March 2010, so not in time for the anniversary, but still out for eighteen months.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03634642987617262810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7315262155858800734.post-11716129619670232592011-09-25T17:54:03.274-04:002011-09-25T17:54:03.274-04:00I thought there was something like it out a few ye...I thought there was something like it out a few years ago too...

Lighter mouthfeel/stomach-feel than actual Guinness, so hope to schwarzbier brewers everywhere, as in "You like Guinness Black Lager?

Not bad but I would rather have Guiness ES or Saranac Black Forest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
