After all this ranting I had a craving so I stopped at the local grocery
store and picked up a 6 pack of bottled Guinness(with the proper amount of
n) and, as I suspected, does not say anything about Canada. I have never
seen the ones that were mentioned earlier from Canada.
Blake--having had the pleasure of drinking a pint at the brewery and also
enjoying it here in the states, is there any differance? And if so is it
truley noticeable?
