I don't mean to offend anyone, as I still consider Guinness a decent beer and would never turn my nose up to it. It's just that, with so many options out there, why does this forum seem to gravitate towards Guinness in particular.

A local brewery in Tucson, Arizona has a really nice stou they call "black-out stout." I personally love Guiness, but have heard that what we get in the states is crap compared to that which they drink on the Emerald Isle. I think Guiness has a very unique taste all to it's own, thus is should be in its own up-kept category. I always love Magner's Cider, but that will ruin a man.
