... the arrival of the latest Guinness product.
Full disclosure, this six pack was purchased *before* the recent blackout Wednesday bar crawl, so I haven't actually yet cracked one open, but I'm sure the occasion will arise soon enough.
For now, this follow up to what most recently came before (Guinness Red, Guinness Black and Guinness Blond) is staying cold in the refrigerator, but, being a brand loyalist as I am, I'm sure I'm going to appreciate the "hop-forward" drink with the "qualities of a classic Guinness pint" ... PLUS the nitrogen that comes from the patented widget found in regular draught cans. (When I get really buzzed, I've been known to rip a can open with my bare hands to prove the existence of the tiny ball of magic [after which, I've then been known to pester the bartender for a band-aid or two to address my hand wounds].)
On a final note ... I've still not had the Guinness Red (released in Britain in the late aughts), so if anyone has it in their backstock, help a fella out and send one my way. Until then ... nitro IPA it is!
WITH ALL MY LOYALTY, I SOMEHOW FORGOT TO SIGN UP FOR THE FAN CLUB!:
