Win tickets as part of the Arthurs Day Celebrations **Winner announced**

Darragh

As anyone who's been involved in this thread will tell you, the evening of September 24 in Dublin is going to be a fun one.



The whole idea behind Arthurs Day is to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the lease at St James’s Gate Brewery. All around the city, and country, people are invited to raise a Guinness to Arthur at 17.59 and then enjoy an amazing line up of acts in over 33 of Dublin's top pubs and venues.

There are still limited tickets available for some of the 28 Dublin pub venues. Those lucky enough to get their hands on tickets for one of the 28 Dublin pub venues will have the unique experience of seeing two well known artists and one special guest performance.

All the special guests performing in the four studio venues and in Hopstore 13 including Tom Jones, Kasabian and Estelle will make an unannounced appearance for 30 incredible minutes when they perform live in an intimate pub setting for under €10.

The full lineup of where bands will be performing is here.

Competition:

We have two tickets to Vicar Street to give away to a lucky Boards.ie member. On stage that night will be Black Swan Effect, OK Go, Razorlight, Reverend and The Makers, Sugababes, The Blizzards, The Magic Numbers and you'll never know who else!

All you have to do to be eligible to win is to post a photo or picture of a pint of Guinness - preferably one you have taken yourself.

You can either use the button above or link to the photo on a website like Pix.ie, Flickr, Picasa and so on.

We will choose the best of the photos and choose a winner from the shortlist at random.

The competition is open until 17:00 on Friday 18 September 2009. Winners will be announced shortly afterwards.

After the Great Britain Beer Festival, in London, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer.

The guy from Corona sits down and says, “Hey Senor, I would like the world’s best beer, a Corona.” The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf and gives it to him.

The guy from Budweiser says, “I’d like the best beer in the world, give me ‘The King Of Beers’, a Budweiser.” The bartender gives him one.

The guy from Coors says, “I’d like the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors.” He gets it.

The guy from Guinness sits down and says, “Give me a Coke.” The bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he ordered.

The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask “Why aren’t you drinking a Guinness?” and the Guinness president replies, “Well, I figured if you guys aren’t drinking beer, neither would I.”

but... Guinness is a stout.

Stout and porter are dark beers, and more specifically ales, made using roasted malt or barley, hops, water, and ale (top fermenting) yeast. Stouts were traditionally the generic term for the strongest or stoutest beers, typically 7% or 8%, produced by a brewery.

There are a number of variations including Baltic porter, dry stout, and Imperial stout. The name Porter was first used in 1721 to describe a dark beer popular with street and river porters of London that had been made with roasted malts. This same beer later also became known as stout, though the word stout had been used as early as 1677. The history and development of stout and porter are intertwined.

Oh alright but I find referring to Guinness as a beer is like referring to a friend as a homo sapiens. Technically correct but there's a lot more levels there. :pac:
