I really like Guiness but I wanna try something new. Please recommend stuff that I can find at either Ralphs or Whole foods.

Scottish ales are great. Belhaven and McEwan's are both good choices.

Sammy Smith Oatmeal is very pricey, but IMHO one of the best beers you can possibly buy. Just an incredible flavor and texture.

Yeah you'll really like sam smith's oatmeal stout I think, its probably the best stout I've had.

I love McEwans scotch ale, but a scotch ale isn't quite a stout ;) Wee heavy is always nice to warm you up on a chilly night though!

If I can't answer Guiness, I have to answer Beamish Irish Stout. Both are excellent.

I agree 100%. I had it for the first time over the summer, and I was hooked instantly. :beer::)

Oh, and if you're anywhere Michigan, you might want to try Bell's Cherry Stout. Very good.

Actually I have made a couple of very good stouts myself when I was doing my own brewing. Unfortunately I drank it all. :brokenheart::beer:

Well, there's Guinness, and Guinness, and then there's Guinness. After that, try Guinness or maybe Guinness. :D

(Okay, I'll admit it: I did like Murphy's the one time I tried it. At a place that didn't have Guinness.)
