AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
He was trying to make the gloriousness that is a perfectly poured Black n' Tan. He almost succeeded.
Black n' Tan: A beautiful mixture of Guinness and Harp that when done correctly tastes better than the nectar of the gods.
/Theres this beer I had during my tenure at Oxford that was absolutely amazing. It was a local beer called "_______ Adams" (not Sam Adams). I cannot for the life of me remember what the first name was. But anyways, it was the smoothest, silkiest beer I've ever had, plus, it was cheap (2 quid a pint). I miss England...
Just an FYI, don't order Smithwicks if you ever actually go to a pub in Ireland.
A good friend of mine from Ireland has told me that it's considered to be an "old-man" beer and you might be laughed at.
They also drink a lot of Budweiser in Ireland, and hard cider. For a people who make some damn good beers, they don't have the best drinking habits. I wouldn't listen to them too much when it comes to what they tell you to drink over there
And as Muzik said, stick to Guinness in a can. For some reason its much better than bottled Guinness. I've experimented quite thoroughly and its always the case
Honestly, the reason the can is so much better is the Widget. The Widget is actually Nitro filled and if opened and poured immediately it will be the same as a daft (Draught for the purists). The bottle on the other hand uses the "Rocket" which doesn't actually contain Nitro, it just stirs up what is already in the beer.
You should never pour a Draught Bottle into a glass, just as you should never drink a Draught Can from the can.
Now, the Extra Stout is different. It will come in a bottle and it should be drunk from a glass. But it's a totally different brew.
Back in Aberystwyth, my favourite drink was a delicious irish cider called Magners, unfortunately it was pretty expensive, but it was like drinking swans tears collected in a precious orchid.
