Guinness
I love Guinness. I had one of these lovely beers after work and I got a little shamrock surprise on top.
I can't master this, but the bartender did. Guinness reminds me of the Ugly Oyster, one of my favorite bars to this day in Reading, PA. They had all of the old Guinness posters on the wall, I had some really good times in that place. The Ugly O will always hold a special part in my heart.
Studies claim that Guinness can be beneficial to the heart. Researchers found that antioxidant compounds in Guinness, similar to those found in certain fruits and vegetables, are responsible for health benefits because they slow down the deposit of harmful cholesterol on the artery walls.
Guinness ran an advertising campaign in the 1920s which stemmed from market research - when people told the company that they felt good after their pint, the slogan was born – "Guinness is Good for You". This type of advertising for alcoholic drinks that implies improved physical performance or enhanced personal qualities is now prohibited in Ireland. Diageo, the company that now manufactures Guinness, now says: "We never make any medical claims for our drinks."
