It's kind of ironic, because at the end they kill the guy with a... car bomb!

It looks to me like whoever made this video is trying to push the stereotype of the "Irish terrorist". Shame on them for that.

[grouchobeer]

Gosh, I'm sorry if I offended any terrorists.

[ciaran67]

this is all quite historically accurate - what's with the antagonism??

I'm Irish by the way... Guinness' sectarianism is well known..

[grouchobeer]

I think they just miss the point.

[HopsBrewing]

A video made by an imbecile. Read the book, "The Search for God and Guinness". You might change you're mind. Sounds like someone doesn't have the tongue for a good beer.

[Kungfufreak]

its amazing how facts vary from different sources. I'm irish and growing up from every single source: media, books adults, religon teachers, every single one have told me that st.Patrick is Welsh!!its come to the point now that im not sure who or what to believe.

[SanguineBullet667]

@ScoobyBrew66 ... maybe your country shouldn't produce so many protestant kill happy fuckers then? you have been slaughtering innocent Catholics for hundreds of years.

[KennyRobot]

This is so funny! Who gives a fuck if the facts are made up bullshit or not!!

[PleaseShakeWell]

Your video is pretty full of inaccuracies, but I do agree people shouldn't drink Guinness.

It is flavorless and if it didn't settle into the head, people probably wouldn't like it so much.

Give me a real high alc. Oatmeal Porter and I'm all good.

[partyboy1800]

which means i get to drink twice as many before i pass out

7.5% is hardly all that high alcohol, now, and while FES is better than Guinness draught, it has limited distribution outside of the UK (and no distribution to the United States). 4.1% abv is only considered normal in the UK. Floating a stout on a lighter beer predates the RIC, but the term "black and tan" does not. The term is still offensive in Ireland (see the Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor flap) and is not used at bars. Also, Guinness was largely responsible for killing Irish brewing.

Not to mention "having next to no alcohol" has nothing to do with why Guinness floats on top of Bass or Harp.

[Degarth]

It really depends on the beer. If you have good efficiency then the sugars get used up (providing they are fermentable) and you can get a very high abv beer with low carbs. Now in general you get a lot of residual sugars in higher abv beers because you need a lot of sugar to get there. So for practical purposes, you are correct, but again it really depends on the beer

Maltas (barely fermented malt) have tons of carbs and extremely low alcohol. .

[Lars3]

Again I agree with you, but it is just about impossible to have lower carbs without lower alcohol, so by default light beers are low in alcohol.

[Degarth]

Most beer sold (by sales volume) in the US is around 5% abv. So 4.1% is not drastically lower. Light beer is typically deemed light beer because it has lower carbs not lower alcohol. Though Guinness has low carbs and could qualify as a light beer on that basis.

The rest of the stuff about Arthur Guinness hating the Irish is just silly. Since the creator loves using "likes" so much, it's like a teabagger saying Obama "hates" America because that teabagger disagrees with Obama's politics.
