So the more celeb&#8217;s drinking good beer, the more some people might pick it up, too. But I can&#8217;t help but find it a little sad, too.

		<description><![CDATA[Friday night Guinness&#8216; P.R. firm in New York invited me to the start of the Guinness Believer Tour, which debuted in San Francisco this weekend. The idea was to introduce not just regular Guinness, but also Foreign Extra Stout and their new Black Lager to consumers, who as far as I could tell, signed up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our 104th Guinness ad is another group portrait of many of the iconic Guinness animals and their zookeeper. Last week it was at the zoo, this week they&#8217;re at St. James Gate, the &#8220;Home of Guinness.&#8221; Which is ironic, since I was there last night — sort of. More on that later today.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Friday&#8217;s ad is old one, undoubtedly from the 19th century. It&#8217;s for a St. Louis brewery, the oddly named Christian Staerlin&#8217;s Phienix Brewery. I love these old industrial illustrated love letters, showing large, gleaming colorful industrial complexes. They seem to have been quite common at one time. I wonder if anyone&#8217;s ever done a survey [...]]]></description>

Not surprisingly, they also have an organization where the professionals in these state organizations can get together and share information, how they do things, and generally learn [...]]]></description>

Using their iconic slogan &#8220;When you&#8217;re out of Schlitz, you&#8217;re out of beer,&#8221; it&#8217;s presumably meant to be humorous. Showing an interesting contrast, with the patron in a black suit with a red tie while the serve sports a red suit, or at least [...]]]></description>
