Saw this Guinness Bike in Ireland
So, while traveling in Co. Donegal, Ireland I came across this bike with Guinness signs replacing the wheels. I thought this was just the coolest looking thing. Wish I could have gotten a better picture of it.
Can anyone tell the make or the name on the sprocket?

Except in the very early days. What became Standard-Triumph cars, then part of the British-Leyland conglomerate was started as a bicycle manufacturer around, of 189n IIRC. They then branched into motorized bikes, then into cars, then sold off the motorcycle business to finance a new line of cars.

I dunno,.... I think Guinness Stout is so overrated....
I'd take a Westmalle Dubbel over it, anytime....
Guinness just tastes bland and flat compared to it
Old Rasputin North Coast Russian Imperial Stout tastes better too!

We used Guinness Stout as beer concentrate back in my university college days... we would buy a cheap six pack of beer and a single Guinness and then use the Guinness to "spike" the cheaper beers up to an acceptable taste level. I haven't had a Guinness in forever..

Disc wheels! I bet that is one super fast time trial-er! 
Sheesh, you people and your beer tastes! I can choose between several hundred brands of Craft (and just crafty-marketed) brands by walking only 2 blocks from my door, and from several shops.
Yet there are also 2 "Irish pubs" (which have all turned into "sports bars") also only short walks from my door and I'd never turn down a well-poured draft Guinness! Safe as mother's milk.
I'd prefer a pint o' Beamish but the importer for that brand left town after Heineken acquired the brand.
"There are only two kinds or beer: good enough and not enough."
