Guinness Mid-Strength

Looks like Guinness is toying with the black stuff, and testing out a "mid-strength" version with 2.8 percent alcohol. The press release claims people participating in blind taste-tests typically couldn't distinguish between the regular stuff versus the mid-grade.

Still, I do hope this doesn't become a trend, with "lite" or even "alcohol free" versions coming out. Sure, there's a market for those. But is nothing holy from the pursuit of watered-down, low-carb, low-alcohol craze?

And, the question remains: will Guinness Mid-Strength still give you strength?
