Guinness 'can reduce risk of heart attacks'

I should also clarify, a black & tan is not "mixed" with anything. The Guinness is floated on top of the lighter beer, Bass is the way we get them here. Actually, if they don't have Bass and try to give me some light American beer, I won't drink it. Besides, Bass is made by the Guinness people, so that seems like the logical choice to me.

what if they floated it on harp?

"But now experts from Wisconsin University have discovered that a pint of the black stuff a day can reduce the risk of heart attacks."

this still goes with the one drink a day thing... even if it was better than "lager".. 1 drink a day thins your blood a little bit making you slightly less at risk for heart attack.. nothing new really except that the university is saying that guiness is better at thinning your blood than other beers

If you want to go lightly at first, try a balck and tan, that's Guiness stout and Bass Ale.

My local beer place didn't have Guinness (or any stouts), but I remember you mentioned "black and tan" and they had Yuengling Black and Tan porter. I picked up some of that and some Zima for my wife.

I just gave it a taste... it's good, I think it tastes better than the Samuel Adams Brown Lager I've been trying. It has that disctinct bite to it that I taste in Yuengling's Lager. :beer:
