Welcome, Guinness black lager

Guinness’ new experimental beer, which i mentioned recently, is here in Malaysia.

Sudah mari

Have had it a coupla times at Sid’s Pub in Tmn Tun. I like it.

ABV is 5% (was hoping it’d be higher). Unlike the stout, which is an ale, this is a lager. It’s crisp and surprisingly light-tasting and smooth, with a lil bite in the finish. Goes down quick!

Unlike most lagers, this uses roasted barley.

It goes for $16.70 nett at Sid’s.

The actual label

You cant get it retail; only at bars. As far as i know, Sid’s TTDI has it, dont know about other joints. According to GAB’s rep, its available at 112 pubs, clubs & karaokes in the Valley (including some Station 1 kopitiams!)

Like i mentioned in the earlier post, Malaysia is d only test market outside Northern Ireland for this experiment. (Read post here.) It got here pretty quick.

I’d probably order it a lot more often if it was cheaper.

Well, a dirty alco. Checkdisout. Guinness, via Diageo, is gonna release an after-shave. Haha!

Called Eau D’Rugby (working name), it captures the true smell of Guinness, and rugby.

It mixes scents such as sweat, deep heat and mud, together with Guinness. Yuck.

I’d have thought it would be mainly Guinness, mixed with d good ol ‘pub aroma’ – u know, d sweet scents of stale beer, fried food, smoke, n sleaze.

U wanna smell like dis, drink more

U wanna smell n look like dis, drink more

I’ve done this – dabbed some whisky dat accidentally spilt onto my hand onto my cheeks. But come on, its whisky. Its 100% natural, n smells n tastes great!

Well, to me at least. And i think bourbon would make a tasty after-shave. Dont know wat d chics think of it tho.

But I dont know why anyone would wanna smell like he just got off the pitch after a sweaty game. Isnt dat d reason we hit d showers immediately after a game?

Who u tryin to attract huh? Flies?

Watever. I wish them luck.

Arthur’s Day to stay

The Arthur’s Day we had last year worldwide looks set to b an annual affair by Diageo. Hopefully it wont be Muslim-free.

But its unclear if this would involve organized events, or be based purely around advertising and promotion.

Diageo has positioned Guinness as one of the most recession-resilient drink in its portfolio. Alcos are downing da black shit mercilessly.

Be merry

As it is, Guinness is pretty heavy with Ireland’s traditional St Paddy’s Day, which is in a couple of weeks! Its comin up on March 17.

u could be right. I just discovered a report that says a local syndicate has been using expired can beers to fill old beer bottles and sell them as new beer to pubs.

Disgusting. Am all for recycling, but dis way too far bitch.

The fuckers should be caught & forced to drink pitchers of stale beer, well-blended with rotten eggs and big-ass cockroaches.

Beer, piss or both?

Beer, piss or both?

Quote: “There are groups that buy expired canned beer in bulk for 10 sen a can and then sell the old beer that had been bottled at market price.”

Whats goin on? In d first place, why dehell are there beers being left to expire?? Drink up u beerholics! Leave nothing behind.

Only 10 sen a can eh? Dats $2.40 per crate.

Hmmm.
