i've been producing my own red ale at home for a while now, next step will be a guinness-type stout

Jaysus, BG... you offered accomodation to any travelling Gooners visiting Brazil, where the beautiful arse count is astonishing and now it turns out you brew your own red ale??!!!

Can you adopt me? PLEASE??!!

My mates brother-in-law was over from England last year. My friend brought him out for the night drinking vast amounts of Guinness (more than he ever had before), when the guy eventually came out of the toilet the following morning he announced that he had to go to the hospital because of internal bleeding! When asked how or why he knew he had internal bleeding he said it was because of the black "deposit" he left in the toilet.

It's a London beer!!!!!!!!

Rumoured to have started life at Spittlefield market, where one of the local taverns made a mistake with it's home-brew. Sold the batch to the porters at a cut price. Porters got a taste for it, and asked for more of the same. Other taverns started brewing Porter to satisfy demand.

Personally, I prefer Beamish to Guiness.

Don't take away our pride ye pr*ck!!

As much as I love the Guiness (and the Irish) I have to say that this is the best Porter I have ever tasted:

Hmmm, yes, that's one idea, another idea would be to have 20 pints..

My mate Bernard had his "tough guy New Yorker" brother in law Darren staying with him for a couple weeks a few years ago. Darren was a mouthy fucker, reckoned he was a drinking legend in his hometown etc etc... Being in Ireland, old Dazza decided he wanted to go out on a real Oirish session. So we brought him up to our local and he insisted he wanted to drink in the old man's bar out front. So in we went.

Darren decides he's drinking Guinness. So I buy a round. Bernard buys a round. Darren buys a round. Everything is fairly ok, although Darren has started to slur his words...

Off we go again with the rounds; me then Bernard and then Darren is having a little dificulty getting out of his seat to go to the bar. He makes it but looks a bit fucked up... At the bar he decides to talk to this old builder called Mick. Now old Mick has seen it all done it all and has a very deadpan sense of humour.

Mick asks Darren "Are you on the session there, son?"

Darren slurs, "Yeah... we're drinking the Guinness... man it's a strong beer..."

Mick just nods and says, "Yep. The first dozen are the hardest."

Anyway Darren just about finished that pint but he was waffling and swaying all over the place. I bought another round and about half way through that pint his head starts to nod and his eyes are slipping closed and he asks Bernard to bring him home. Bernard does so and arrives back at the pub laughing his ass off. He had had to carry Darren up the street to his house and when they got in Darren made a bee-line for bed. So much for the NYC drinking legend!

Joke was on Bernard though; we went clubbing that night and when he got home about 4am he found Darren asleep fully clothed in the bathtub. The bathtub was a third full with vomit and Darren was caked in the stuff. Darren had also managed to vomit in his bed, in the wardrobe, in the sink and (mysteriously) in the fridge downstairs... the only place he managed to miss was the toilet bowl!

Funnily enough Darren never visited again.

Proud to say I can keep up when I'm over. Weirdly tho Ireland is the only place I could even think about drinking 10 pints of Guinness in a session.

DB10... that's funny, reminds me of looking after my mate on a football trip to Florence a couple of years ago, he got absolutely slaughtered on the black stuff, and he also finished up in the bathtub, but instead of vomit, he had pissed himself in the bath.

I had to hang all his wet clothes out on the balcony for him,

(well it's what mates do) (please, no gay references to this as it's drink related).
