Mark Zuckerberg attempting to drink Guinness goes predictably viral | Mashable
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Remember the feeling of drinking your first beer and pretending to enjoy it so you'd fit in?
It appears Mark Zuckerberg had that exact experience recently with a pint of Guinness.
Appearing on Stripe co-founder John Collilson's Cheeky Pint podcast alongside Meta's Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang, the Meta CEO was faced with the daunting challenge of a full pint of the famous Irish stout.
As some X commentators were quick to point out, he seemed to be struggling.
"Mark Zuckerberg pretending to enjoy Guinness is my new favorite thing," wrote Mark Malone, sharing a clip of Zuckerberg's suffering that's now been viewed over five million times.
It's an undeniably amazing 12 seconds. You can see him sloshing it around his mouth, barely repressing disgust, and then putting on his best poker face to give the illusion that he might not be completely hating it.

I love a good stout, unfortunately Guinness is not in the same league as truly good stouts. However, it isn’t undrinkable. His face truly makes him look like a preteen having his first taste of beer. What a pussy.
Spot on.
I like a good local micro brewed oatmeal stout.
The best microbreweries are about the only place to get a truly great stout. There are a few larger breweries that produces something serviceable, like the Founders barrel aged series and Goose Island (surprisingly owned by Budweiser) but they aren’t that easy to find. The problem with Guinness is that its color comes from a food coloring, not the brewing ingredients, leaving it with the same watery finish and low abv you’d expect from a cheap mass produced beer.
This place produces some of the best stouts and double / triple / quadruple IPAs, and they ship by mail order! It ain’t cheap and you need to be very patient though (most of the good stuff requires ordering before it’s even produced), but it’s so worth it. Weird death metal vibe though, lol.
I used to like women that've had 3 or 4 and could use a ride home ...
There's a microbrewery in Norfork, AR, where we go when we go fishing. They used to make this IPA called a Scurvy Dog. It tasted like grapefruit. 2 of those and I was done. But they were so tasty. Now....they stopped making them. They tried to pass off another beer as "just like the Scurvy Dog" but I took one taste and told them flat out..."no, it isn't!"
I know my limits and I wouldn't even attempt to drink a stout.
An excellent one might put you under the table.
He's always reminded me of someone the other kids used to beat up on the school playground.
he's long overdue for a nostalgic trip down that memory lane ...
we only had one preacher's kid in elementary school. whenever he'd start preaching on the playground at the beginning of a recess, he'd spend the rest of that recess trying to get his slacks out of a tree or off the roof, which really sucked for him in the winter ...
Not sure if it was because I was in Ireland when I first had it but I really enjoyed Guinness. Tried it in a can when I got back to the states and what the bartender said was true: "You have to have it on tap".
There is some truth to that. I had it from the brewery in Ireland too and it was decent, but every time I try it here it is disappointing. I read once that the color comes from octopus ink, but after looking it up just now I see they phased out the fish guts to be vegan friendly. According to google the color does come from roasting the ingredients, but I still find it weak, watery and unfulfilling.
Wow, I always love a pint or two.
I used to describe it as Chewy with hints of Chocolate, coffee and on tap, bits of malt. Dirty Beer from the homeland...
The cans are a waste of resources.
Don’t get me wrong, I love beer as long as it’s at least decent. Before I got really into craft beer I thought Guinness was the pinnacle, but there are so many richer, denser stouts out there. The place I linked in 1.2.1 also uses their heavy stouts as a base for these really dense pastry stouts. They’re so good that if I could afford to that would be all I would drink. Probably best for my waste line that I caint affurd it.
you might want to give it up completely, it looks like it's turning you into a goober ...
I don't think of Guiness as a drink, rather I think of it as a meal
