CK Diggs

Let's take a minute to talk about one of my favorite beers: Guinness.

This beer is categorized as a dry stout, and has 4.1 percent alcohol.

It's true, Guinness is a stout.  It's dark, and does the whole cascading thing, and isn' t carbonated like other most other beers.  It takes a few minutes to pour correctly, 119 seconds according to Guinness' website, so don't be surprised if it takes your server a little longer to bring to you.

I used to hear about Guinness being extremely heavy, "a meal in a glass," needing to be cut with a knife and fork, etc, but it's a lie.  I promise.  Very light-tasting for a stout and only 125 calories per pint, which is less than Labatt Light and many other "light" beers.

PS- Half and Half's are amazing and can be made with just about anything, the most common being Black and Tans (Guinness and Bass Ale).  We like Guinness and Fuller's London Pride.  Some like using Blue Moon, commonly called, "Black and Blue."  The latest creation at Diggs is a pairing with Short's Soft Parade... still trying to think of a name for that combo.  Any suggestions?
Like I said, it's one of my favorites. Try it!
