[...] UPDATE: Oops, sorry, this is a CT dupe! I knew I had seen “Noitulove” somewhere recently.:) When I saw Kieran’s post I was on a machine that couldn’t deal with a .mov file so I never clicked through and by now it’s off the front page. (As has been noted we’ve been quite busy around here recently. And as has not been noted – because I have been too busy to note – I’m too overwhelmed with deadlines right now to spend much time on CT these days. I shouldn’t have broken my vow to stay away for a few more days. Oh well, at least I made CT history.:) [...]

Well, we all pull our pints in different ways; I guess as long as you get the head creamy it’s all good.

You might consider a trek north to Portland…where beer is taken as seriously here as most any place in the planet.

We’ve got to have something to do besides have sex on those weekend rainy days. :)

Ah, so the orchestral bit is the same song? Okieday.

“…peeved at all the inaccuracies.” ? Oy. And I doubt, along with almost everyone here, that “Black Bear homebrew… is just as good [as Guiness].”
Myers is a pedant, and I’m annoyed when he’s chosen to represent ‘my side’ of anything.
Given a the choice between a priest with an imagination and a mathematician without one…
I’d pick a Belgian Monk.
cheers!

Kristian, I think the concensus is that the music is a version of Rhythm of Life by Sammy Davis Jr.

I’m fairly sure no actual Irish people drink Black & Tans (or half and halfs) whether served with Harp or Smithwicks.

I know next to nothing about beer, but I’m curious about one thing.

What’s that first bit of orchestral in the commercial? I like my music big.

The training includes not only the proper way to pour a pint, but a great deal of Guiness trivia, and the proper way to make a Black and Tan (though the Guiness reps, being craven company men, will use Harp for the tan).

That’s actually an “Authentic Half-and-Half”, according to the Guinness-supplied beer mats at my local Irish-Pub-From-A-Kit.

Back to the important matter (for those of us who are also in Tucson): where is the establishment with Beamish on tap?

So you guys actually think the beer tastes different if it settles in stages? I guess you all have a way more refined palette than I. I have done blind taste tests and nobody has been able to tell the difference.

Being from Phoenix, I can relate to your thoughts on Tucson. Asking for a beer in Tucson puts you about 15 seconds into the ad, where they’re walking through the field, just after they learned to wear pants.

robotslave – I’m not too sure you really want to be calling Guinnes “Black and Tan” now do you?
