    There is a pork chop in every glass, that is where your belly came from. Happy St. Patrick's Day John!

    Dude, you better watch out, Jon. I might take a detour on my way up to Boothbay Harbor sometime this summer just to share a pint with a fellow T-red 16-valver.

    My brother usually keeps the G on tap at his house in Delaware. In fact, I'll be there tomorrow for his wife's birthday.

    I don't have room in my house for a Kegerator, so I use the Guinness "surger" unit:

    Basically, you pour a can of surger-specific Guinness into a proper pint glass, place it on the surger unit, and press the button. It uses an ultrasonic pulse to active the nitrogen that is throughout the liquid, thus making the almost perfect pint of Guinness a possibility to enjoy at home. When you don't have a kegerator.

    It is an improved version of the widget cans, which themselves were pretty good.

    I have seen this surger machine at a bar across town. had a couple pints off of it and it wasnt bad. as far as taste and consistancy are concerned, I couldnt tell the difference between a widget can in a glass and "surged" pint.

    its a pretty neat gimmick tho. and the great thing is, you get to drink Guinness in a bar that normally wouldnt have it on tap.

    You got it, man. As Erin and I are getting married there this coming Labor Day, we'll be back and forth a couple of times over the summer for preparation and such. I'll let you know when we'll be up.

    I dont mind variety so much, I mean, I love to mix fountain soda, like mountain dew with pink lemonaide, but when I drink a beer I want it one flavor.
