Worse than 'New' Coke

Almost impossible to believe, but Diageo is launching a 'low-alcohol' version of Guinness. Okay, sacrilege is too strong a word, but yeccch comes to mind. It was bad enough when some pubs starting serving that 'extra cold' nonsense.

I heard some guy on the radio yesterday insisting that it tasted the same. That's beside the point. You just don't do this. Brewed first in 1759. They got it right then.
