Great ways to enjoy Guinness beer

A smooth, creamy Irish stout, Guinness beer is hugely popular with people across the globe. This beverage literally glides down the throat, and has a luxurious, silky feel and a very distinct taste. Many people like nothing better than savoring the taste of pure guinness beer. However, for the time when you fancy a little change, you can make some fabulous combinations with this beer.

If you want to celebrate in style, you can try a Black Velvet, which is a tempting and very decadent combination of Guinness beer topped with champagne. The usual proportion is to have equal measures of each of these two beverages in a Black Velvet, and this cooling, luxurious drink makes a really refreshing change for a celebration. If you can't quite stretch to champagne, you can try the Poor Man's Black Velvet, in which the champagne is substituted with cider.

Guinness beer can be quite rich, but you can combine it with another beverage such as a pale ale. This will enable you to enjoy a lighter drink, but still retain some of that smooth, silky texture and rich taste. Collectively, these combined drinks are known as Black and Tans.

If you fancy something really unusual, some people have tried Guinness beer with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream - the perfect cooler on a hot summer's day. You should add a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream to the beverage, and then enjoy the merged tastes and creamy textures of these two tempting products.
