Nice score Sparky!

That Maple Syrup is real! Even the stuff we get here that says "100% Maple Syrup" is nothing like what you got there. Wait until you taste it ;)

The cans have a plastic CO2 widget inside that gives the beer a taste like it was tap poured... way better inmo..

When making your own Black and Tan only two ways work. Either from a keg tap or from the can. I have tried many times and never had success from the bottle. The extra CO2 in the can allows the Guniess to float on the Bass like with the keg version. No matter what size spoon I poured the bottle version over it just would mix.

I tried and tried and tried... And enjoyed every minute ;)

The BEST way to get it is on draft.   In Ireland.   ;D

Amen to that. It is different there then what we get on tap here. And don't rush the pour......it is supposed to take time ;)

did not know all of that about GD.  I had a bottle last night and there was a little thing in the bottle.  cans have the same thing?  its very smooth.  I haven't had a FT since I found this stuff.   :'(

I hope you guys get Lou he needs a new team and needs to get away from Van. As for the Jets be some more time in rebuilding but the fans won't wait for ever

Our Niece's husband is a writer for the Canuks, when they made the finals we were able to make some games.
