It's funny but the whole world, at least the civilized part of it, holds Guinness to be the best beer there is.

The truth of the matter is that it was brewed as a knock-off to the original, brewed by John Smithwicks, which started brewing 50 years earlier in 1710. By 1759 it had become so popular that the demand out-stripped production. Arthur Guiness saw an opportunity to fill a need and bought a rundown brewery and started off in the brewing business.

And which ever of Irelands fine beers you choose, proper form and style is important, especially since we're getting close to the day wen the whole world turns Irish, St. Paddy's Day, therefore I offer the following pointers;

1) before the first sip be sure to salute they that poured it for you, the proper way is to raise the glass in their direction and say "Go raibh maith agat", thank you, which is pronounced "Guh rev mah a-gut".

2) next is the salute to your companions, the Irish rarely drink alone, it goes like this "Sláinte, Nár lagaí Dia do lámh!" or "Cheers, and may God not weaken your hand.", which is pronounced "Sloynta, nore log-ee jee-ah hoo."

Gur math a théid leibh. (Best of luck.)

Mark, after reading your little poem, and seeing my Gaelige up above, something occured to me.

The Gaelige term for 'whiskey' is 'uisce beatha' or literally translated, 'water of life'. Now that's wisdom.

I can recall an old joke I heard often as a child, it goes "Why did the good Lord teach the Irish to make such fine whiskey & beer?".

The answer is "To keep them from taking over the rest of the world."

Best of luck.

The running joke up here about Bud is... well to put it politely, that the Horses are not just for moving the stuff, they 'help with production' too if you get my drift.

I must admit though, I have consumed my fair share of ice cold MGD over the years.... It too washes pizza down pretty well.

Best of luck.
