Great Guinness Toast

[JS Sanders]

I agree, it tastes better on the other side of the ocean, however, a major beer distributor in Memphis told me all kegged Guinness in the US market originates from Ireland. The taste probably has something to do with variable shipping conditions - can't be all that good for beer.

And oddly, all bottled Guinness for US consumption is brewed in Canada. All the bottles I've seen bottle read 'imported', but no mention from where.

Slainte yall,

Your right Steve, I've noticed that too. (Goes to kitchen for a bottle) Okay, the front label reads:
"Traditionally Brewed St. James Gate Dublin"
.... yet, the fine print on the back label reads:
"Brewed and bottled by Guinness Brewing Company, New Brunswick, Canada. Product of Canada."

I can recall buying bottled Guinness about 20 yrs ago when everything on the label (brewed, bottled etc) was done in Ireland.
