Guiness vs Heineken

Ok, I'm a beer guy, until recently my friend bring me to taste a draught Guinness in a small pub at Uptown Damansara in Petaling Jaya at a state called Selangor, in a country called Malaysia. My reaction to this drink is wow! I always though that stout is for old uncle. Not long ago a diver friend of mine tell me that after u start diving, u'll like stout. So I'm not sure because of diving I start like stout or I just getting old. To my suprise the taste is so smooth that even "tau fu fa" came in second. And the kick is different from beer, it stay a bit longer and kick in later then beer. This make u drink more and enjoying it.

But in my recent house gathering, the prefer choice is still beer, but if we go out, we start to drink Guiness. For 3 occasion now, we've been ordering Guiness and not beer when we chills in pub. Ok, I choose Heineken then other brand because I like it more then other brand of beer that Malaysia are selling. Of course I do like KilKenney, Hoegarden, Stella and so on.

This is a good drink when u have it chill, but is not so great when it turn warm. A person like me who often drink "koh teh"(bitter tea for cooling purpose) also can't really take the taste of a warm Guiness. It can really make me puke, but when it's chill the taste go beyond a thousand word. I'm not a hardcore drinker but for now, my chill out drink will be Guiness draught.

This drink is made of barley and other ingredient, mix with nitrogen and CO2 with chill temperature...it made a wonderful drink. Guinness is from Ireland, it's a dry stout @ Irish stout.The company start producing it since 1759 (that is really long time ago). The best part is, this alcoholic drink can benefit to our heart, some of the contain can slowdown the forming of cholestetrol in our heart artery (something like that). But I think is not really good for our liver. It take 119.53 second to pour a perfect pint of Guinness. But I hear u can short gun a bottle of Guinness in just 2 second.

Heineken, a beer prefer by many, same goes with me. I like Heineken more then other, accept if they sell SIngha here. I can only get Singha in Thailand. I prefer Heineken more then Carlsberg, Anchor, Tiger and Skol. Maybe because of the name or maybe is the coolness of drinking Heineken compare to other brands.

This green bottle go a long way. They started in 1864 in Holland. It's a lager beer, the 4th largest brewery in the world. Of course they got good advertising campaign that keep the brand high up. Malaysian don't have much choices when come to beer, but no matter what brand that come in, I believe this brand will stay up there. Way up there.

There is no conclusion of who will win, I believe beer do have bigger market cause Guiness draught cost more then a Mug of Heineken. Beer are suitable for most occassion, but Stout no yet come to play in my lifestyle. But this will change later on, we will never know. For those who like stout more then beer, do leave your comment, maybe I can join u for a drink next time. For beer lover, keep it up and don't drink and drive, ok! Cheers Mike!
