~MY TRIBUTE~

Milky clouds drifting skywards.
Waterfalls of black cascading down.
Beads of condensation if it's extra cold.
Truly anticipation to behold.

Still watching the magic unfold.
Much too early to yield to temptation.
Admire the letters, look at the harp.
Due to quench a thirst so sharp.

Still waiting for the perfect meeting.
Finally lips to glass.
Soon to sense when mouth does connect.
What really is quite perfect.

Drinking, drinking, drinking so proper.
Creamy cool liquid tasting as good as ever.
Gulping, gulping, gulping Guinness.
Salute the drink of true fineness.


~TOP TIPS ON DRINKING GUINNESS~

1. Demand it in an official straight Guinness glass with all the proper logos on.

2. Never drink it straight after a big meal.

3. Make use of the Guinness Extra Cold option if this is available. It says fresher longer in the glass.

4. Stick with it all evening, don't go wandering off to other drinks along the bar or you'll regret it later.

5. Try the ultimate drinking experience in Dublin if you get the chance.


~THOSE ADVERTS~

Selection of the best famous TV advertising campaigns by Guinness.

1. Waiting for the pint. Man dancing behind pint as it settles - transformed advertising in the early 90's.

2. The Snail Race. How did they think of that?

3. The Swimming Race.

4. White Horses Surfers - my favourite.

5. Rutger Hauer series of adverts.


~TYPES OF GUINNESS GLASS~

There are a number of different glasses now in circulation in pubs. The original glass is straight with a gold harp and "GUINNESS" lettering. The nearest variation to this features the same gold harp, but with white lettering saying "GUINNESS DRAUGHT". It also has gold dividers above and below the lettering. This is usually in the more no
rmal slightly curved glass, but I have also seen it on the straight glass. The newest variant features the same format as above but with only the harp in gold and everything placed on both sides of the glass. This is only available on the slightly curved glass as far as I am aware. I'd be interested to learn if its been seen on the straight glass. They also supply special editions with stylised logos, usually for special events such as the Rugby World Cup and St Patrick's Day.


~THE GUINNESS WEBSITE~

Guinness also have one of the coolest websites on the internet. They are always running free competitions on it for money, trips abroad and of course...Guinness. I recently received a load of personalised Guinness beer mats with my name on, to use for St. Patrick's Day. You do need the flash plug-in to view the site properly, but it is well worth it. To enter most of the competitions you also need to sign up for free, as a member. Naturally my user name on the Guinness website is superguinness. Something I'm rather proud of ! The site also includes an excellent pub guide for where to sample the best pints of Guinness. The site address is www.guinness.com.
