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

Did they not try a "White" version in ireland a few years back?

It even reached the French shore. Actually I only ever saw it once in an Irish pub here in Strasbourg and thought WTF ?!.

All past experiments with changing "de black schtuff" have failed miserably. I expect this to do no different.

Absolutely. At least "de black schtuff" is not brewed in Britain anmore. It was foul and we've been saying that for years.

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!

Thanks Christ for that - I thought it was going to be another Bono inspired thing.

Is he God yet?

No, it's just that God thinks he's Bono...

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