I would recommend you give Boddingtons a try, if you like Guinness.
It has a very similar mouthfeel to Guinness, but is a lighter ale. I find that people who enjoy the texture of Guinness also enjoy Boddingtons and Newcastle Brown Ale.
Thank you....If you ever want good cigar recommendations, I’m your guy....
I like all that you mention, with the exception of Newcastle. Just haven’t really been able to get into the brown ales as much.
Sam Smith breweries out of London (I think) makes some bottled stouts (no can with the widget) that I like alot as well.
When all is said and done, I’ll take a Porter (and a porterhouse).
I have to confess, though (thank God it is an anonymous forum) that while traveling in Viet Nam this past summer (100 degrees with 99.9% humidity for days on end) that I rekindled my affection for cheap lagers.
