Thread: Guinness

The local importer of Guinness has given up the franchise and very shortly there will be no more blackstuff on the market. Not great news for paddies day.

Is that the importer of the real stuff from Ireland - or the Malaysian varient ?

Malaysia I believe. Back to the old days - Irish Pubs with no Guiness

I know at least one English guy who may relocate. No Guinness in the LOS just too much to bear.

I always thought that shit was made here by a local brewery...

sad day indeed. welcome to what it's like living in jakarta...

the canned stuff with the magic widget, really is magic.

but the canned stuff without, dead and heavy

Never really seen the attraction myself but bad news for those that do.

SuperSport to be cut, now Guinness... Is this some concerted campaign against sports-watching, beverage-swilling, couch potato's or what?

Whats this about super sport ,heard a whisper ,true, is trying to stop football on supersports.....via sophon

FlyingHigh,

DSTV, who broadcast Supersport and other channels for Africa, are stopping transmission on the global C-Band because of piracy, presumably under orders from FIFA, with the world cup starting in June.

Should be off BY 31st May.

They are transferring to two other satellites that only cover Southern Africa.

Unless it's retransmitted via another satellite I can't see how you'll ever see those channels here again.

True paid big bucks for premiership rights and I'm surprised they haven't kicked up more of a fuss about it - presumably the gangs that control WETV and Sophon are quite "influential".

But with no signal to rebroadcast on your cable, it becomes rather more difficult.

There is another TD thread on which more detail can be found.

As stout beer is my ancestral, cultural, dietary and genetic background , I can process the stuff properly and it is my human right to acquire, make and imbibe this food.

So, I brew my own.

Any recipes require for the best, pm me.

I love Guiness on tap, but rarely drink it.

I rarely see Guinness where I live. In fact, I'm not eve sure it's here. I'll ask at an Irish pub in town.

Heineken are taking it over apparently, according to FP. No need to panic.

Happy Paddy's day.

Does that mean the "Kilkenny" will be gone soon too?

Luckily for you, you have Amber Stout which is much better than Guinness.

Ahh yes, I remember. The Underground in Saigon, right?

Sadly, that place closed.

But I think Amber stout was very rare in Saigon.

Visited a bar down in silom and paid 3 or 400 baht for a pint and i taught fuk dissssss .To get merry would cost me haff a days wages . Anyway it's too heavy for me climatewise. Happy Paddy's Day.

$1 a can happy hour in Cambodia.

A couple of years ago TAPB invited us to their headquarters in Bangers to sample Murphy's and Amber Stout; they were toying with the idea of a competitor to Guinness. Nothing ever materialised and looks like never will if they've aquired Guinness.

Any one ever tried putting a double Tia Maria in a pint glass then topping it up with the black stuff ?
Its called a Dublin Milkshake tastes fine and does the damage.

I have only tried Guinness with Port or with Tullamore Dew.
