Guinness, the dark Irish drink known as the "black stuff", could soon be turning red.
Manufacturer Diageo plans to produce a version at its Irish brewery using lightly roasted barley, which will have a reddish colour, and give it a trial run across the Irish Sea in Britain.
next thing you know they'll be putting Brown Sauce in Tea
Guinness goes Red

It even reached the French shore. Actually I only ever saw it once in an Irish pub here in Strasbourg and thought WTF ?!.Zuma wrote:Did they not try a "White" version in ireland a few years back?

some things should not be tampered with, Guiness being top of the list - KEEP IT BLACK
All past experiments with changing "de black schtuff" have failed miserably. I expect this to do no different.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Absolutely. At least "de black schtuff" is not brewed in Britain anmore. It was foul and we've been saying that for years.mh wrote:All past experiments with changing "de black schtuff" have failed miserably. I expect this to do no different.

This reminds me of green ketchup: a cheap marketing ploy and a waste of money.

Green ketchup stained as well. Heinz also had orange ketchup, the idea was to get kids 'used to vegetables'. Kids aren't that stupid but at least I was able to get real cheap ketchup for ages as no-one wanted it in the weird colours. Some football team also done blue ketchup!nick the stripper wrote:This reminds me of green ketchup: a cheap marketing ploy and a waste of money.

The white version (Breo) was a wheat beer, so probably no surprise that the usual Guinness drinker didn't appreciate it.
