Most Expensive Guinness Commercial Ever!

Most Expensive Guinness Commercial Ever

This is touted as being Guinness's most expensive tv commercial ever. It cost Diageo, Guinness's parent company, a whopping $20 million to make. It just may be their most cleverest, too. Brilliant!

The advertisement’s director, Nicolai Fugslig, told The Daily Telegraph newspaper that it was the “biggest challenge of my career to date”.

“It was a really tough job… from the remote high altitude location to having to frequently reset thousands of props as well as working with hundreds of villagers who had absolutely no understanding of acting or film making,” Fugslig said to the newspaper.

Enjoy!

— Adapted from Feast, by Nigella Lawson

Makes one 9-inch cake (12 servings)

For the cake:
Butter for pan
1 cup Guinness stout
10 Tbs. unsalted butter
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 cups superfine sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2-1/2 tsp. baking soda

In a small bowl, combine sour cream, eggs, and vanilla; mix well. Add to Guinness mixture. Add flour and baking soda, and whisk again until smooth. Pour into buttered pan, and bake until risen and firm, 45 minutes to one hour. Place pan on a wire rack and cool completely in pan.

Welcome To Where You Are

Welcome to my little foray into blogging. I think this beats MySpace by a mile.

The purpose of this little blog is to document and share my love of The Bishop's Collar, the Black One, The Irish Elixir, The Blonde in a Black Dress... that's right, GUINNESS Stout.

I've been fortunate to have experienced my first pint of Guinness at bar in my cousin's old hotel, Tullyglass House Hotel, in B'mena, Co. Antrim at the age of 17. I won't tell you what I thought of it then. I love it now.

Over the years, and a lot of help from the Internet and my own, I've experienced bottled Guinness Foreign Extra Stout from Australia, pints o' Guinness atop the Gravity Bar @ St James's Gate, pints o' Guinness in Canada which is brewed in Canada, pints o' Guiness in the most diviest dives and most Disney-esque "Irish" pubs to the most enchanted thatched roofed pub in all Ireland.

What it all comes down to is my never ending pursuit of that Perfect Pint. One might say it's like a junkie's search for that next hit. Ok, maybe not that bad. But you get the point. :0)
