YA no UNited States yet. But the description does sound very good. I am planning on hitting the local Irish Pub here in Westlake around the holidays.
This place is as legit as it gets while being in the US. I'll ask them then and report back what they say, if anything interesting is reported.
Hahaha, I said REPORTED like I am important.

This is most likely part of their new marketing campaign. They have released a few different variations on the original recipe. Most of which have
been pretty decent I must say. If I'm downtown in the next few days I'll grab one and yet yiz know lads.

Very cool. Consider it a SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT. Hey I got to ask. Is it really true that in IRELAND the GUINNESS is really differnet than in the US. I
find it really fucking hard to believe that GUINESS would sacrifice the reputation of there company and make a shittier beer for the US. Now I have
never been to Ireland but I love the GUINESS we have at our bars and Pubs. Someone I met once who is really fucking annoying as was in Ireland about 2
years ago said that in the Irish Pubs they give old and crappy stale guinness to ignorant Americans. Like you need to meet someone and make freinds to
get a real good beer. I know the person is a moron and liar so I figured it was a lie, but I needed to ask. Because I have before that rumour has it.
The Guinness America gets is not the same as the Guiness in Ireland. Please answer to sooth my aching mind. Like the CRO-MAGS. "WE GOTTA KNOW"
So is this Urban Legend?

Its half urban legend half truth. They don't give away the shitty stuff to you guys, Its just about the distance travelled and the temperature etc.
Here, Guinness is brewed literally in the city centre and leaves from the factory on trucks so its crazy fresh when we drink it. When it arrives in
other countries its been rolling around in a truck/plane/boat for god knows how many days and subjected to extreme highs and lows of temperature most
likely. It IS different but not as extreme as what that dope said.

i definitely noticed a difference when i went to ireland, which normally i might chalk up to being in my mind. the reason i know it wasn't was because
of this: we went to london first, and first thing i did was order a guiness at a pub. had big expectations for a difference and there was none at all.
tasted great, like a guiness should, but no different than at home. so by the time we got to ireland, i had resigned myself to that being a myth and
had no expectations at all. ordered myself one, and right away noticed the difference. nothing overly dramatic or anything, just fresher and smoother
tasting. hard to explain, but definitely the best pint of guiness i've had (as were the 2nd, 3rd, 4th...:smilegrin

My uncle was serving in Lebanon a few years back and he said the best Guinness he ever had was there. That COULD be cause there were bullets whizzin
by his head so each one may have been his last.

That would definitely make a difference I'm sure. Shit, you really never know when you will buy it. We had a kid who was on the most secure base over
here get hit by a stray bullet on his way to the gym, he died the next day of the wound. Fuckers were sprayin and prayin. I don't like this place. On
a side note, I had mentioned that alcohol was banned here, I was wrong, it is sold thorughout the country, even during Saddams rule. Still a big time
no go for soldiers though. I am definitely looking this red guiness up when Iget back to the states.

Yeah I've heard these many times and have even heard there's a big difference in the taste from Dublin to the outskirts of Ireland. But the people
who I hear it from just say like you said, it's because of the trnasportation.

Well transport isnt a huge issue IN Ireland, as they are put on the same trucks that are used for transport in Dublin, They are just going to be on
them a few hours longer which wouldn't make a huge difference. Its when you start putting em on boats for days and shit the flavor is going to suffer.
