LiquidX 0 Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I recently gave a Japanese friend of mine a can of draught Guinness to try. Anyways, they came back to me and basically what they said was "Well, it's different to Japanese beer and so I don't like it". It wasn't "oh, I don't like it", but a very strong "its not like Japanese beer, and so I don't like it". I just found it a curious response. Maybe it's just me. Any other curious responses going on you'd like to share? cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Well that seems a readily extendible way of thinking - "You're different from Japanese people so I don't like you"... Are you sure he's a friend ? Link to post Share on other sites
LiquidX 0 Posted July 25, 2003 Author Share Posted July 25, 2003 Yes he is actually and a good guy too.... Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 doesn't really matter, that variety of beer is shit any way. Link to post Share on other sites
LiquidX 0 Posted July 25, 2003 Author Share Posted July 25, 2003 Oh yeah, right - as if that was useful...... Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan 0 Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 HOW DARE YOU! Stout absolutely rocks! It may look like sh*t, and make you shi*t a lot but it tastes gorgeous. Murphys tops guiness though. This probably belongs on the beer thread but I have to defend the black stuff from such nonsense attacks. Link to post Share on other sites

TASAKI 0 Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Maybe he don't mean it like that, perhaps nuance is mistkae Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 more than likely he is trying to say I hate it, its god owful and is trying to think of a nice way to tell you. Link to post Share on other sites
xxx 2 Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Perhaps. In which case he has not taste at all Guinness is very fine Link to post Share on other sites
barok 0 Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Give him some of that new Yebisu dark - it is the closest readily available Japanese thing to Guiness you can find - I think most of the conbini`s stock it. See if you get the same reaction, then enjoy making fun of him for the rest of the evening, as you have proven that you can`t taste what country a beer comes from. Link to post Share on other sites
nagoid 4 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 It might be the closest, but it isn't a patch on and doesn't compare well to a real Guinness. Some of the earlier black beers in Japan were really really bad. Have they generally improved? Link to post Share on other sites
barok 0 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 it`s not that bad. . . but then again it`s not that good either. Doesn`t compare to a Guiness, but it does taste like a stout, even though I`m not sure it is. Link to post Share on other sites
