Turns out I’m no Guinness at all, but merely Bass:
(67% dark & bitter, 33% working class, 100% genuine)
So, out with it: Which beer are you?

Bass – (100% dark & bitter, 0% working class, 67% genuine)
Never had one, guess I have to try. Currently prefer Karl Strouse Amber and Stone Pale Ale, both SD beers. Tried PBR one time after all night drinking Bud, almost brought it all up. Worse tasting beer I’ve ever had. Always enjoyed a San Miguel ‘Painted Label’ after a hard day at Cubi but that gets us off the subject and on to Cubi Specials and Cubi Dogs and Shuffleboard.
AW1 — that is my fave “American beer” joke. #2 is the one told by the Brits — “Why do Americans drink their beer cold?” “So they can tell it from piss.” Hilarious that Bud is now the trendy beer of choice among the Brit 30ish. Part of what InBev paid for.
AW1 Tim;
I came up “Bass” on the test, but I am a PBR all the way, too. Ever since the film, “Blue Velvet”
When out on the town, I do the London Pride or Sam Adams, but on the Barco?
PBR!
It’s an AW thing.
Damn! I’m Old Frothingslosh. It’s a pale, stale ale, with the foam at the bottom.
It’s unfortunate that the test did not include Arrogant Bastard Ale…
Guiness here, (100% dark & bitter, 67% working class, 67% genuine). There seems to be quite a wide range for this result.
Isn’t it strange how the comments increase exponentially when the thread has any thing to do with alcohol? I’m a Guiness on the test but I’d just as soon have a Yuengling Black & Tan. I’m not sophisticated enough for Guiness and Black & Tan is cheaper. Oh for the days of Dixie 45, made from Mississippi mud water.
Bass here as well. (67% dark & bitter, 33% working class, 67% genuine).
xairboss — how about a Jax, instead?
Bass.
Only 67% bitter…guess I’m getting soft.
Bass here… Guiness is ok if you’re looking for liquified pumpernickle . I’m actually a studley Heineken guy…what else. Best
PS, A few blasts from the past for the old farts around here… Rinegold Beer in Chug a Mugs..the Miss Rinegold Contest, Naragansett GHQs, Schaeffer Beer…$ 4.00 a case in VT no deposit …heaven on earth…Bom We Ba (sp?)…RVN don’t drink the last 2 inches in the bottle… San Miguel a/k/a San McGoo…the best in the east…Tiger Beer Bangkok…I think is was good but I was constantly distracted by the waitstaff …et als.
The Wombat is Guiness; oddly enough, the Wombette is a Boddington’s..Pommie Sap! .Now the Queenslander in her is madder n’ a cut snake….
Guinness
(100% dark & bitter, 67% working class, 100% genuine)
AW1 Tim, there’s a bar right next to where I work that introduced me to Dead Guy Ale. Good stuff. But if I’m over at the bar near my house (the Kerry Piper, for those of you in the Chicago area) I usually have a few Black and Tans.
Lex: i came out Bass as well (i think it was the student loan question that got us both).
(if it can’t be Guiness, i would have preferred being Koenig Ludwig Dunkle or a Kreuzberg dark from the monastery in Wildflecken)
Guinness
(67% dark & bitter, 67% working class, 100% genuine)
I am not surprised or displeased. Lex’s readers seem to be a rather consistent lot.
Bass. Same percentages…
Birds of a feather, and all that….
B2- Guinness
(67% dark & bitter, 67% working class, 100% genuine)
Personally, I hate guiness unless I’m extremely hungry- can’t abide a loaf o’bread in a glass and neither cam m6yy Appollo-like figure.
Old Milwaukee- now you’re talking. Actually any smooth tasting and COLD lager for moi- last week I drank Cusquena- good stuff…
b2
And, to continue the silliness:
Guinness — 100% dark & bitter, 67% working class, 100% genuine
Bass. One of the 1st real beers I enjoyed before I discovered homebrewing. Now I can’t drink anymore, cause of my homebrewing….
Snake,
To go along with your “east coast panther-pi$$ parade” you forgot Piels Real Draft in the wide mouth bottles. Schaffer is ‘tavern’ regular. Only us yankees know what a tavern is.
BTW, Tiger is still good. I had a cold one the other day with my Pad Thai. Alas, no inflatable mattresses in sight.
I rate beer best if’n it’s cold and especially if it’s FREE!
b2
Your result for The If You Were A Beer Test …
Guinness
(100% dark & bitter, 67% working class, 100% genuine)
B2, Yes … how could I forget Bert and Harry Piel a/k/a Bob & Ray…doing those gut bustingly funny TV commercials then of course there was Father Knickerbocker a/k/a… have a Knick and Hulls and Kruger Beer in Connecticut… true Panther Piss all… we never knew we had so many choices and so little time . Best
PS, That Naragansett GHQ I referred to above should read Naragansett GIQ… a/k/a Giant Imperial Quart 40 oz…it was a big hit in the inner city with the brown paper bag set until supplanted by Colt 45 and the like.
PPS, B2…Inflatable mattresses ??… you are indeed one tacky Gomer.
For dark beer lovers, I came across this:
http://distinguished-brands.com/news/2008/01/fullers-london-porter-now-avai.php
A great drink in the UK on hand pump, should be
outstanding in a nitro can here.
Naragansett? Ah, I remember that stuff. Listening to Curt Gowdy broadcast the Red Sox in the ’60’s was my introduction to beer commercials. “Mable – Black Label!”, and my all time favorite beer slogan, one that would probably get them sued today by MADD and other professional guardians of public morality:
Shafer is the one beer to have when you’re having more than one!
‘Hey neighbor, have a ‘Gansett!”
We drank mebbe a few of thsoe at teh “SeaAir” Club back at NAS Quonset Point on the shores of Narragansett Bay. Not what I would call the definitive great beer, IIRC.
Before leaving New England we learned to swill a few Haffenreffer Private Stock Malt Liquor “Green Monsters” for recreation. Yes, we were able to recite all the messages under the bottlecaps, thank you!
It’s nice to finally grow up after a while.
RonF, You might already know this but in NE Carling Black Label and Red Cap Ale were once brewed in Natick, MA “on the shores of Lake Cochituate”. In the late sixties ?, a skunkey smelling batch of Black Label mistakenly made it to the market…this destroyed the Black Label brand and whatever market share it had in NE… I haven’t seen for years…I think it’s still a big seller in less descriminating locales such as The Great White North, the UK and the other lesser known Commonwealth Countries… alas those desprate Goobers will drink anything. Best
Heh,
NastyGansett. That’s right up there with “Valley Forge” beer. When I was in DC in ‘83, it was 99cents a six pack. I remember that for 10 bucks, you could get a meal at McDonalds, a bottle of vodka and a six pack of Valley Forge. Plus have change left over
In fact, I used to go on Fridays to this bar down there (Kelly’s, I think) that had a free taco & wings buffet if you bought a beer. So, I’d have a beer or two, and a free meal, then hit up the package store before returning to my digs. Cheap date, I guess…
respects,
Hey I just took test again answered it the same way… and again I came out a Bass guy…took it a third time and answered the questions exactily opposite to the way that I had answered them the first two times and came out as a Carona guy…in other words a wussy, go figure …I know … I know…like VX I have a lot of time on my hands today… Best
Pabst Blue Ribbon, but I call foul. Never drink the stuff. But I am kind of boring, Budweiser unless I’m trying something new.
The family likes to buy me beer t-shirts, never have figured out why. My favorite is a “Polygamy Porter Shirt” from the Wasatch Brewing Company. Their motto? Why have just one?
Mormons tend to give me dirty looks when I wear it though.

Guinness. 67% dark & bitter, 100% working class, 100% genuine.
While my best friend swears by the stuff (“The only beer you drink with a spoon!”), the darkest I’ve ever gotten are St. Pauli’s dark and Beck’s dark.
As for PBR, it suffered the same fate as our Cincinnati beers did: the national distros pushed them out of the market. I recall Scheonling’s Little Kings cream ale quite well.

I always chuckle at the memory of those “Hey Mabel-Black Label” TV commercials. Carling used to have a promotional life-sized card-board cut-out of Mabel holding that tray and single beer bottle for liquor store displays. Well, the Cuban Missile Crisis hit during our homecoming week at LSU and the DEKEs, instead of building House decs, built a bomb-shelter instead made out of old beer cases, with the sign “To Hell with Homecoming-We’re Building a Bombshelter!” on top. Standing in the doorway entrance beckoning you in was a full-sized Mabel cut-out–tray and all. Typical “Animal House” DEKEs–which they were…but smart animals tho…LOL! (Memories)

And next door in Louisville the old Falls City and Oertel’s 92 beers hit the dust in the late 60s-early 70s as well–always was partial to Oertel’s. When I arrived in Louisville in late 76 the local liquor-store guy near where we lived had secretly stock-piled some for himself in anticipation of the day. Thanks to my Louisvillian ex-college roommate who was a friend of his, he let us buy from his pvt stock and we drank it for a solid year after brewery closed.
Guinness here, as well (67%, 67%, 100%). I have about a pint a year, mebbe two… on the outside.
I’d rather be almost anything from the New Belgium Brewery… most especially 1554.
Boddingtons. Go figure.
I do enjoy it when in Rome.
Idaho Joe,
Boring isn’t necessarily bad. In my more adventurous days, I was at a Chicago restaurant that had an extensive collection of imports. Thought I’d try a German Rauchbier; smoked over a hickory fire.
Tasted like bacon grease.
Guinness here as well. Which is good, cuz I love the stuff.
And since we’re all naming our favs, I’ll go ahead and throw in a few of my own: VB (Victoria Bitter) – the REAL Aussie beer; Fischer Blonde (yes, even the French can make a good beer); Pilsner Urquell (can’t beat the original – brewed in Plzen, Czech Rep.); La Gazelle (it may not be as tasty, but it’s cheap & cold, which is a very good thing in Senegal), Chimay (the best Belgian beer I’ve ever had); and Sam Adams, which is by far the best American-brewed beer.
