The picture was taken some time ago in?Blaenau Ffestiniog, a slate mining town in North Wales. I asked my daughter what kind of beer it was and she said that she ordered Guinness but they probably slipped her a glass of Brains instead. What did she know? I agree that Guinness Stout is much darker, almost black. Me, I'm a wine drinker myself. My doctor tells me that beer is bad for gout. But it was a St. Patricks's day libation. By coincidence, St. Patrick's day is on her birthday and we both remembered that. Larry Z - - -? Looks to be the wrong colour for porter as well ;-) john -----Original Message----- Larry, that's a pint of Brains beer (and Welsh to boot) and bears no resemblance to a pint of Guinness - an Irish stout!! Maybe you sent the wrong link?

A real Guinness. (Trivia: a? glass of Guinness Stout contains fewer calories than a glass of skimmed? milk.) http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Larry+Z/Karen+with+beer.jpg.html Larry Z - - - - I had agreed with my Irish colleague Ruth to have a St Patrick's Day beer? on Monday, but work and meetings screwed up our schedule, so the O'Hara's?
