The ATL Hilton was always cheap for me, as Hiltons go, but it's been a while since I stayed there.

I love IPAs but enjoy many different styles.

Just booked a tour at the Guinness Brewery for my daughter and me.

Any thoughts on if I should change to the "CONNOISSEUR EXPERIENCE" tour?

The ad says "A five-star Guinness® tasting experience for the ultimate Guinness connoisseur, this intimate session takes place in our luxurious private bar where expert staff will be your personal guides on a sensory journey filled with tales and traditions."

Sounds like a cheap massage parlour or a Delta SkyClub

That's it, although I'd be interested in knowing what it involved.

Is this a vertical beer or a horizontal beer?

I'll drink it, but it's not my favorite.

as with most, easier to consume when vertical ... as with many, often consumed when horizontal (perhaps related to age and camaraderie and many other factors)

I find it easier to consume a beer that isn't perfectly vertical.
