Ok heard this one from my brother, I'll make it quick....
Back in the day at the good ol Guiness brewery they weren't in the habit of cleaning their vats (see where this is going now?) so for X number of years the vats kept making their stout unhindered by the hassle of a thorough scrubbing out every now and then. Well finally they decide to shut off the vats for a minute and to their dismay they find all sorts of rats, cats and birds and things stuck in the vats. Naturally they hush it up and clean them out and bring them back up and running but the new brew lacks that special something that made guiness great. So now in order to capture that secret ingredient flavor the folks throw a T bone or two into the brew.
-This is one of my favorite little urban legends running around out there...where the hell do these things come from anyway?
