Do they have to be this big?

i want beer that takes hair off of my chest.

 

…but I think the OP is referring to the stuff which looks like horse wee-wee in a glass with a Guinness label on the side (can't get away from the bloody adverts over here on the Left-Side of T'Pond! The real Guinness is just like cream (if the glass and liquid are at room temperature, and Mine Host knows how to pour Guinness!)

exactly, love the real guiness, this new stuff is just for the bud light crowd. granted, it's a very large crowd, but come on.

 

Is this one of those beers that tastes like lager but isn't fizzy, and has a creamy head like Guinness or Northern English bitter?

I love a creamy-headed proper beer. I simply do not understand creamy-headed lager.

 

Rambling along, beer in the usa is always served cold or colder because it tastes so bad warm, pity, what a waste of time and money to make beer that has to be cold to be ingested, same with wine, chilling it to kill the taste? what a waste, serve it just under room temp if you must, but... now the wine is also made so "poorly" it has to be cooled.

I'm pretty sure the "american friends" are more than capable of ingesting whateversohappenstobeputinfrontofthem and then some.

 

Mutually exclusive.

 

Yes, I think that's the thing that a lot of Americans misunderstand. They think of "warm beer" in two wrong ways. First, they think it's room temperature, when it's not - it's still cool. And second, I think a lot of them are thinking of the idea of warm lager, which is disgusting. "Warm" (not actually warm) bitter or stout or ale is a fine thing.

 

The title of this thread left me sooooooo disappointed.

 

i have no idea, it's just a bombardment of guiness ads for beer that 'looks' and probably tastes american. i prefer a stout or a porter, something with body and taste. but i suppose guiness see's a large 'untapped' market.
