Hah I kid I kid! I had a Beamish yesterday and it was alright. I don't know if it's the placebo effect but I can kinda taste a smidge more flavour than I get from Guinness.

Great little programme though. I was pretty envious of the workers as well as sad for them cause it sounded like a really good place to work. I wonder is Diageo any similar?



[b:qzodynjx]Was Beamish Red in anyway interesting or nice to drink?[/b:qzodynjx][/quote:qzodynjx]

Only alright
It was red Ale for Lager drinkers really, popular with brits so only ever sold during the summer in tourist pubs in Ireland , in England it would have been a reasonably well known brand , and English people would have been surprised that Beamish made Stout . ( Few I met made that comment )

As far as I recall ( and I only drank it maybe twice a long time ago ) it was sweeter and more caramelly than smithwicks but an easier mouthfeel as well. Ok summer afternoon drink
