you're asking all the right questions here really

Why would anyone drink Coke for taste only?

If you like the taste of something, that's reason enough to drink it (given that it is not harmful).

OTOH, though I've had only a couple zero alcohol beers, they've all been nasty.

Reminds me of that Beavis And Butthead episode. Sure someone is going to drink it not realizing it doesn't have any alcohol in it and start acting trashed out.

meh, Guinness is fine. There’s nothing really else out there that tastes like it, including other stouts.

This is technically true, though hardly a plus for Guinness.

Due to a fondness for shoe polish and ground up aspirin, perhaps?

I have had one and hated it with a super nova level of burning rage but I suspect that was mostly due to having grabbed it by mistake after an incredibly long hot day and not the taste.

I quite enjoyed Guinness in Ireland in November. With the proper alcohol of course.

Sounds like one to avoid. Non alcoholic beers tend to lack body, and withouth body a Stout is nothing.

For those of us who prefer porters and stouts, the negative comments on this thread sound exactly like what we might say about "American Style Pilsners".

Seriously, how can anyone compare Guinness to Bud Light.

I like to drink diet Coke but I do drink mainly water because of Diabetes.

Since you asked.....

Myth: Guinness is high in calories
Guinness, a stout-style brew, is known for its creamy texture, dark color, and rich, caramel-tinged flavor. That means it must be high in calories, right? Not so fast. A 12-ounce serving of Guinness sets you back 125 calories—just 15 more than the same serving of Bud Light.

Guinness is great. Non-alcoholic Guinness is a travesty. I'm sure there are good reasons for its existence, just none that apply to me.

Dublin tourist tip: the "Guinness Experience" is not a proper brewery tour, and kinda not worth the huge admission price. Some of its exhibits and interior design is pretty cool tho.

Oh and my avatar is Dublin landmark.
