Harp stays sharp

You would think after so many beers, you would learn a few things.
While I've certainly had Harp before, I never realized it was actually a lighter version of Guinness. Well, OK, not a lighter version, but it was a 1960 answer to British and Irish drinkers who didn't want the heaviness of Guinness.
All these years later, Harp is a nice summer alternative.
Well, at least it was last week.
With that oppressive heat banging down, the last thing I was really in mood for was something heavy. So, I saddled up and ordered a Harp.
After the first sip, I knew I made the right decision. It was tasty without being overly hoppy. After a couple, I kind of wished I hadn't eaten dinner before making the way to the tap.
Harp would have been a perfect compliment to some wings or maybe a burger.
Hmm, I think that might be a solution for this weekend.
By the way, if anybody knows of any beers out there I should try, leave a comment.
For now, stay thirsty.

My Goodness! My Guinness!

Ok, so I remember way back when (it must have been the late 80s) when I went into a place that was serving Guinness. I couldn't imagine drinking something so dark and heavy. Plus, in those heady college days, Guinness was a premium price. I needed a little more from my 10 bucks.
Little by little, though, that changed. When I first broke down and tried a Guinness, I instantly fell in love. The taste is smooth. It doesn't bite at the back of your throat.
For a long time, I would only drink Guinness. It was good when it was cold outside and good when it was hot.
While, I've branched out over the last few years to try different things, I still consider Guinness to be the top echelon.
Had a few last night and now I might have to run out and get a case.
Besides, Guinness has the best advertisements.
