Beer of the Day: Guinness Foreign Extra Stout
My nights out start slow. I throw on some makeup and a nice dress, add some heels, sit in my living room and have a pre-party drink with my friends. Whenever I reach for my first drink of the evening, I like to begin with Guinness. It's not too fruity or sugary like many cocktails out there, and it's nice to pour into a pint glass...but carefully. The strong aromas, incredible hops and end note of bittersweetness are just what I need before venturing out for a good time in the city. And as they say "Guinness For Strength".
Tip: A Guinness is best enjoyed when poured right, so use a clean, dry glass held at a 45 degree angle. Don't pour it all at once— instead, let 3/4 of the stout settle in the glass before your finish so the head doesn't overwhelm your first sip. Nothing like a Guinness mustache to get the party started!
