There's an Irish pub in my old hometown run by *gasp* and Irishman. That's where I learned how Guinness is supposed to taste. I can't drink the stuff cold anymore. If I order a pint now I have to let it sit for a while and warm up before I can drink it. As for Kinky... if I lived in Texas I'd vote for him! Anybody who can say: <b>"Governor Perry's stance on immigratiion is 'Give us your tired, your poor, your drug dealers, your terrorists, your bombers ... and by the way welcome to Texas.' "</b> to the press has got my vote! But seriously folks, a good sense of humor does not a good governor make. However, who else is up to ditch career politicians for some real people?

For home consumption I also prefer the cans, <i>but that's what the tall glasses are for around here</i>. Frankly, I hadn't even considered drinking it straight from the can, if for no other reason than I enjoy the "bubbles going down" show every time. Good to know I have readers with taste, though.

I have to admit I both drink and swallow Guinness. Bottled Guinness has a little tablet thingy in there too, but neither cans or bottles compare to Guinness on tap.

"Blasphemy!" you say? Read on, fellow Guinness drinker. The bottled Guinness doesn't have the same head as the canned variety (at least it didn't a few years ago when I last bought it... it's been only canned Guinness for me ever since). The Guinness cans have some kind of nitrogen tablet thingy inside that produces that famous thick head. I don't pretend to understand exactly how that nitrogen widget works, but I do know it renders canned Guinness superior to the bottled variety (and it's just about the only beer for which that statement can legitimately be made). I don't know if they ever accomplished the same trick for the bottles. Actually, Guinness is better from the can.
