A Guinness is a "guinness"

A Guinness pays it off! Guinness is way the most popular "Stout" of the whole world. As you can see in the picture it is a dark beer with a creamy top. A can of Guinness costs about R$ 10,00 in a supermarket in Brazil. The glass you see in the photo is the one used all over the UK. The measure used for beer is called "pint", which translating into portuguese is "pinta", equivalent to 568 ml. In the photo there is a line on the glass indicating the exact measure for "half pint", in portuguese "meia-pinta", the same as 284 ml.

So when you are in the UK, remember to say... "A pint of Guinness, please!"
