Same thing happened in the little medieval town of Bamberg in Eastern Bavaria two hundred years ago. One of their forty seven breweries went on fire. Guessen Sie Watt? They turned it to their adwantage. To this day you kann enjoy a Rauchbier, or smoked beer, in the self same Brauerei. It's delicious. It's the smoked salmon of all beers.

Well actually, as it happens, my revolution goes on, if a little quietly.

You won't be getting any answer on that one Dessie, cept a deadly silence. Some of the boys have returned to St James Gate recently I noticed after a brief flirtation with other brews. The prodigal sons of "real" porter they are, although some of us remain defiant. Our numbers dwindle every night though. The insurrection is effectively over.

Oi Bock, whatever happened to the guinness boycott – why was'nt there an announcement at the end of it.

the sobriety has my head wrecked and the brown shite is most disconcerting…..and dont get me started on the non guinnessy farts….

Ah well, back on it with a vengance – (rubs hands with glee)

BOCK – guys, Guinness is not the stuff it used to be. I'd put a bet on with anybody that the French owners have secretly changed and replaced vital natural ingredients for cheaper chemical substitutes in order to boost their profit margins. They may have just added a chemical to lengthen the shelf life or possibly something to make the head a little more white in colour to suit the modern younger discerning drinker, I don't know what they've actually done but they have certainly fucked with the pint. Even the flavour has been tampered with. No doubt whatsoever in my mind.
I state this as I can no longer get the 'bite' from the pint of plain that it used to provide. It's in the last six months that I noticed this. It was a gradual realization for me but they have definitely fucked with the pint of plain; absolutely no doubt about it.
They've made it soft and mushy, just like that 'smooth' Beamish which is fine, nothing wrong with smooth and mushy if that's to your liking, but it definitely is not to mine.
No thank you Diageo, I am now drinking only Heineken – a pint with a very definitive 'bite'.

no guinness to the irish is the equivalent as no one left to look down their noses to, to the english, all the english dead to the scots, hence no one to hate and no gay rugby players to the welsh, a real disaster of disasterous proportions
