Here's an article on the benefits of dark beer:

http://content.health.msn.com/conten...e/76/90285.htm

And based on this I think I will go get a beer.

well all those Irish are alright then! Guiness,Guiness,Guiness!

Eeerm.... when i drink beer, i'm trying to get drunk, and not thinking about my heartcondition. :D

lol, U got a good point there. Maybe when I'm getting drunk on saturday night Ill get some guiness instead, just for you Arvon! :D

"is dark brew because it can help prevent blood clots" Umm yeah. :rolleyes: That positive remark really outweighs all other consequences from drinking beer. I mean one could end up as johnny; cute, dang funny, simply a nice guy. And we wouldn't want that would we? [img]graemlins/confused2.gif[/img] :D

Seriously, if you believe this article and start drinking dark beer instead of light to lessen the chance of stroke, heart attack, thrombus etc. then you're just plain stupid. It's like saying "Nicotine is good for you so smoke all you want!" :rolleyes:

well anyway, I've heard bad things about Guiness! :D

I think it's like the red wine theory.... Moderation is always the word.

<font color=orange>Well, I don't know about and medicial values of Dark Beer, bout the taste is Superior to any other in my expert opinion. I love a good stout or porter. So Drink up all! :D

I prefer a nice heineken beer over dark beer ANY day, can't stand that bitter stuff.....

well hallo there , being from a famed land of beer drinkers , i couldnt let this thread go by with out giving a plug for the best beer in the universe , that being "Victoria bitter" or as its better known VB by the Carlton and United brewies of south bank, Victoria, Australia.

now thats a beer ! Of course , you drink it freezing cold ......... not warm like some others...shudders at the thought.

cheeeers

warnie

Yeah right, if it's THAT good, then how come i've never even heard of it ? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font color=gold>
Warnie, you're my kinda guy!! :D
</font>

Hmm, Yes all beer is good beer to Johnny. :D

Not really, alcoholfree, or light, is unacceptable.

Yes stout is better tasting [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] But on warm days, 290 days a year, it is to hot and then like Warnie a cold VB is just the ticket.

BTW Hello and welcome to Ironworks Warnie. Its good to see more Aussies in the general forum [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]

Your not that Warnie are you? LOL

He needs something to fill in his time I guess! Only a couple of months to go hey, Warnie? :D

It's kind of awe-inspiring, isn't it, Wellard? Being in the presence of Aussie royalty like this! :D

I shouldn't say this about my native beer but Guinness tastes terrible. At home only old men really drink it.

<font color = lightgreen>Dark beer is always better! The darker the better. In fact, I don't want to be able to see through my mug/bottle! [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img] I will drink something light *shudder* if there is nothing else.</font>

Nah, even though IM a Sydney boy stuck here in the frozen wastes of northern America, I still follow religiously the gospel of the Australian people. That being Pies, beer, footie\cricket , shellahs mate! lol

I happen to have a stash of Vb's (which are used very bloody misely , let me tell you that) cause you cant bloody buy them here. So its a real self sacrifice every time i skull a tinie! Lmao!


As for royalty , well the fact that a new south welshman, lets that a victorian have the great merit to have his name used as SN , is about as close to royalty hes ever going to come too! LMao!

though the guys a bloody hell of a good bowler !


cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeersssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sssssssss

hmm... personally i don't like VB, tasmanian lager now that is a good beer.

Can you cut down on the cheers, warnie? It's messing up the entire font of the page. [img]smile.gif[/img] Thanks!
