Maryanne makes a good point. As we know, beer is all about the water it's made from. Has anyone tried a real Irish Guinness and in turn an American Guinness? There's a brewery up in CT that has a contract to brew many European beers/lagers/stouts and frankly they all taste the same. Mark

True, Mark. In much of PA water is quite hard - it tends to come from groundwater wells with significant limestone content. I suspect in Pottsville -- not too far from Allentown or Kulp-er, Plymouth Meeting -- it's the same phenomenon. Florida water, by comparison, is comparatively soft. That

But will Ohio get the real Yuengling or will they suffer like us down here with the Alabama/Florida versions?!? Maryanne ___ Swlfest mailing list Swlfest@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/swlfest To unsubscribe: Send

As far as I know the products / recipes are identical - have you compared side-by-side? Perhaps next March you can stash a Tampa-brewed 6-pack in your luggage and we can do some side-by-side comparisons. Nothing like field research, I say! Given that shipping water (which most beer admittedly
