Now that I have my confession out of the way I can continue on with a) why I have never had Guinness and b) my plan to rectify this in a correct and calculated way. I have never had Guinness due to the fact that I dislike beer and stay away from it no matter what. I also love liquor so I am always more inclined to take the quicker and stronger route to the ultimate goal...Shitfacedom. Now many o' souls have told me that Guinness is not just beer and therefore I should not lump it into that category and relegate myself to not enjoying this truly "god-like nectar" (Quote from a friend).
So my plan over the next 7-10 days is to try Guinness in the following ways to see if I do like it and if so which way I prefer it. Let the options fly (Inspiration and ideas courtesy of Cargo). Please feel free to add any suggestions to the list but I would appreciate if you would decline from attacking my manhood at this time.
- Guinness (Self explanatory)
- Black & Tan (Guinness & Ale)
- Black Fog (Guinness & Chambord liqueur)
- Black Shandy (Guinness & Lemonade)--This is the one I am most excited by.
- Black Velvet (Guinness & Champagne)
- Snakebite (Guinness & Hard Cider)
Expect a few follow up messages regarding this as the grand experiment begins.

Please... you'll get so hammered the first night on the plain old Guinness that the rest of the experiment will never happen.
:-)
I shall take that bet and will report to you tomorrow on the results as tonight should be the start of the grand experiment.
Yeah this should be good. I'm a Guinness fan, I enjoy a good Black & Tan and I have sampled the Black Velvet.
Do not, repeat do NOT, order a "black & tan" when drinking in pubs in certain Catholic neighborhoods in Belfast, Northern Ireland. You will be sternly directed to rephrase your order to a "half & half." Black and tan, it seems, are the colors associated with certain Protestant paramilitary groups' uniforms, and it would be better for you (and really for everyone) if such associations didn't come up in groups of drunk Northern Irish Catholics.
