Measures 8½ x 11 inches tall. Nothing fancy about him. He's just plain Bill.
IIonest, hardworking and happy with his three squares a day. But you'd never make him an honorary member of a gourmet society. Black olives, truffles, pits de foie gras, venison? They're not part of his chow. So when it
comes to brews, Guinness doesn't figure. The brisk, bright, not-quite-sweet, not-quite-sour, malty, winey flavor is
wasted on him. But gourmets love it. It takes more than one hearing to enjoy Beethoven's Ninth. It takes more than one bottle to enjoy Guinness's Stout. But it's a pleasure that grows and grows. Isn't it significant that though very few like Guinness when they first try it, it's the world's largest beer export, now selling in a hundred and thirty-nine countries?
