I'm spoiled. A few years ago I was in Ireland, and had the REAL Guinness
there. Ummmm ..good. I tried the stuff here, and it sucks. Won't try it
again.
Miller MGD in a bottle is better (even if it is yellow).

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?
