Not at all...a completely different thing. Guinness is good, but Chimay Blue is intense and complex. I like both of them.
I generally like to drink the beer I brew, though. I haven’t tried brewing a Belgian Ale, though.

Yes! I buy this!
I believe this is the world's finest brew, better (slightly) than even Warsteiner Dunkel.

Jameson is my friend.
I have very few rules in life but one I ALWAYA obey is this:
I never drink unless I am alone or with someone.

It does not taste at all like guinness, but can be mixed with it to make a “Black and Black”.
To: mamelukesabre
I homebrew and my product is oftentimes nasty and undrinkable.
I mix it with Steel Reserve or something similar so I don't gag, kinda like a Balack and Tan. True story.

“Not at all...a completely different thing. Guinness is good, but Chimay Blue is intense and complex. I like both of them.”
guinness is also a shadow of its former self. I can remember in the early 90s drinking it bottled and bottle-conditioned - the beer was so complex it tasted great warm. i still vividly remember driving to atlanta to buy a bunch of cases, only to get home and find 1) the back label had changed and 2) it tasteed a lot worse (didnt understand the bottle-conditioning change until years later).
the current product has been unrecognizable to me for over a decade. there are much better irish stouts out there, though sourcing can be tricky...

I've been a homebrewer and craft beer drinker since I was 18, but that doesn't make me a beer snob. It just makes me appreciate even more all the different styles of beer there are. Even “standard American lite lager” is a respectable beer style and those craft brewers who dismiss it are doing a disservice to their fellow beer lovers.

I homebrew also. Although I havn’t boiled up a batch of wort in over a year.
I found that if I have a particularly nasty tasting batch...let it age for 6 months or more and taste again. You’ll be surprised how much better it is.
