“After the Britain Beer Festival, in London, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer.
The guy from Corona sits down and says, “Hey Senor, I would like the world’s best beer, a Corona.” The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf and gives it to him.
The guy from Budweiser says, “I’d like the best beer in the world, give me ‘The King Of Beers’, a Budweiser.” The bartender gives him one.
The guy from Coors says, “I’d like the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors.” He gets it.
The guy from Guinness sits down and says, “Give me a Coke.” The bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he ordered. The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask “Why aren’t you drinking a Guinness?”
The Guinness president replies, “Well, I figured if you guys aren’t drinking beer, neither would I.”
As tomorrow, September 24th 2009, is the worldwide Arthur Guinness Day 250th anniversary celebrations, I’d like to ask you all a small favour.
This very serious society, Guinness Monday International, who’s dedication is “to those who enjoy a pint of The Black Stuff and who have sporadic meetings in various locations around the world – but only on Mondays”.
Usually Guinness Monday’s are held with an official member of Guinness Monday. Photos are taken and put on the wonderful GuinnessMonday.com website.
Unfortunately, since Arthur Guinness Day is being held on a Thursday, we have had to make an exception. I tried calling Guinness in Dublin to ask them to move it to next Monday, but unfortunately they were all in the pub, and no-one was there to answer the phones…
So, to the favour:
I want everyone in this e-mail, to go to a pub, preferably their local, order a Guinness, and raise a glass to Arthur Guinness. If you can, I would GREATLY appreciate it, if you could take a photo (ANY photo will do) and e-mail it to
info@guinnessmonday.com
Telling us:
1. where it was held.
2. what date.
3. who was present.
When you do, your photo will be uploaded to GuinnessMonday.com website, and will go on our Guinness Monday Map
The best photos will get an official Guinness gift. The only thing: we will have to meet in person, so I can give it to you. It’s fragile :)
So, raise a glass to Arthur tomorrow, and send us your photos to info@guinnessmonday.com.
Sláinte!

Mañana, 24 de Septiembre del 2009, se celebra en todo el mundo el Día de Arthur Guinness, con motivo de su 250 aniversario, y querría pediros un pequeño favor.
El Club Internacional Lunes Guinness (un grupo muy serio) incluye a todos aquellos que se reúnen esporádicamente, y exclusivamente en día lunes, en diversos lugares del mundo para disfrutar de una pinta del “negro elemento”.
Normalmente, las sesiones de Lunes Guinness se celebran en presencia de un miembro oficial del club. Las fotografías de tales reuniones se publican en la estupenda web guinnessmonday.com
Desafortunadamente, como el Día de Arthur Guinness cae en jueves, nos vemos forzados a hacer una excepción. He intentado hablar con Guinness en Dublin para pedirles que movieran las celebraciones al próximo lunes, pero se habían ido todos de pedo y nadie contestó el teléfono.
Pero me dejo de rollo, y os pido el favor: que todos los que recibáis este correo os vayáis al bar de al lado, pidáis una pinta de Guinness, y brindéis a la salud de Arthur Guinness. Si podéis, inmortalizad el evento con una foto (si está desenfocada o sale torcida no importa, dada la coyuntura), y mandadla a
info@guinnessmonday.com
Incluyendo:
1. Dónde os tomasteis la pinta
2. La fecha
3. Quién estaba con vosotros
Colgaremos la foto en guinnessmonday.com, y os añadiremos a nuestro mapa del Lunes Guinness
Las mejores fotos se llevarán un regalo oficial Guinness. Pero la entrega del regalo tiene que ser en persona: es frágil.
Así que brindad por Arthur mañana, y mandadnos las fotos a
info@guinnessmonday.com
Sláinte!
