There has always been variation in the way it was brewed internationally. The stuff we have in Ireland is would have been too weak to last for long in the African heat before refrigeration became so cheap. The sweeter, stronger African variety, as brewed in Nigeria, is now to go on sale here though, as immigrants from Africa are complaining that you can't get a proper Guinness in Ireland. > Sorry, I had to get that off my chest. Hopefully someone with some pull > in Ireland will read this and do something about it :-) Bah, if we had any pull we could stop them making it increasingly colder and colder. They've already gone past the stage where you can't taste it (I understand heavily refrigerated beer is an American invention, and given the way American beer tastes this makes sense), soon it'll be served to you on a stick. I can't even remember if this thread was ever on topic. How did we get into this? -- Jon Hanna | Toys and books <http://www.hackcraft.net/> | for hospitals: | <http://santa.boards.ie/>
