Four Beer Company CEOs walk into Five Points Pub. The CEO of Budwiser orders a bottle of Bud Light. The CEO of Coors orders a Silver Bullet. The CEO of Miller orders a bottle of Miller Genuine Draft. The CEO of Guinness orders Diet Coke with no ice. They turn around and ask him why he ordered Coke. He responds, “If nobody else is drinking beer, I didn’t want to be the only one!”

What’s the big deal about pouring a pint of Guinness you ask?
