I love Guinness.
When I was really into horses and reading a lot about them, I recall reading that the fancy racehorses in Ireland routinely got a bottle of it in their mash. Don’t know if it’s true, but sounds neat.
(Too much Guinness can do a number on human internals, though!)

I remember it being the case for humans in the UK in the 60’s, and found this on-line -
Decades ago, in England, post-operative patients used to be given Guinness, as were blood donors, based on the belief that it was high in iron.
Pregnant women and nursing mothers were at one stage advised to drink Guinness - the present advice is against this.
