Maybe, but I still would've expected some lag with what we've been seeing the past few Thursdays. Either way, we'll find out like you said.

I'd never partake in any activity involving that milkshake of a beer you call Guinness.

Guinness is...well, I was going to say some kind of analogy probably involving urine, but let's be fair, courtesy of the US, you can do a lot worse.
I'm just not a fan. It's like drinking a loaf of bread.

Really, Budweiser is some awful awful ****. Then again, I can say the same thing about most American beers.
Okay, so if I, a non-beer/ale, etc. drinker, were to ask... what would you recommend for me to try? I'm a mixed drinks kinda gal (rum+, vodka+, tequila+ typically), but come from a family of beer-drinkers and have always wanted to try something new without having it turn me off the entire subset of alcohol.
Recommendations in PM welcome, if anyone thinks that is way off-topic or inappropriate for age.
Beer is honestly an acquired taste imo, and I have to be in a certain mood to want one.
That being said, usually I'll drink either Heineken or Michelob (the only domestic beer I can stand), occasionally Guinness (but it really is sort of like drinking bread). Also, another nasty beer, Corona.. I really don't see how people want to drink that stuff constantly.
Stray is right, beer really is an acquired taste. I'm spoiled by living in Europe and having had a Belgian gf so I'm all about yummy beers like Jupiler and Duvel (which are bog-standard in BE) but hard to find anywhere else.
To be honest, given the choice I'd rather drink cider, a nice cool Magners or Bulmers (I'm not a plant I swear) is much nicer to quench than a beer, but beer can hit the spot. As a general recommendation, if you're gonna try beer, like coffee, try it with an open mind and try all sorts to see what you do and don't like.
As an aside note, if you've come from a family of beer drinkers wine is of course an option. It generally is 2-3 times as strong (alcohol content wise) compared to beer but can be much nicer. Bear in mind the fact that both crappy beers and crappy wines can be tolerable if drunk at the right temperature (if a beer is cold it can often nullify whatever nastiness there is and ditto for rose/white wines).
Hope this helps.

Just to clarify, even though wine has a higher alcohol by volume concentration (Beer on average is 5%, Wine is 12-15% with the highest non-distilled alcoholic beverage possible being 20%) a 12oz bottle/can/mug of beer is equal to a 5-6oz glass of wine (which is typically how much is in a glass). To put it in another perspective, both those are equal to about 1.5 oz (or a shot) of 80 proof liquor, which is what goes in a typical mixed drink. I had to learn all this stuff to get my ABC license to serve alcohol when I worked as a bartender.
And yeah, what Silas said is better advice as far as choosing one to drink, it is sort of like coffee.

Yup, every bartender has to learn this stuff to be licensed to sell and serve by the drink.
I always feel left out when people talk about drinks...
You and me both. I take a half dozen medications every day, and half of them have nice big labels on them that read, "Do not take with alcohol." Bah.

I feel that way when people talk about bars. Being extremely allergic to smoke I can't go "hang out" with the majority of my classmates because ND won't set up a smoking ban. And unfortunately I'm not allowed to take the matter into my own hands with a crowbar.
