Question, if all Guinness is now brewed in Dublin, how come a pint of the black stuff still tastes better in Ireland than it does in England?

It's brewed in Nigeria too as Guinness Foreign Extra Stout.

It ain't even 300 miles from Dublin to London, does it get car sick or something?

Doesn't it have to be pasteurised to be sold in the Uk? Hence change in taste.

That 'holiday' feeling? Everything tastes better when you're away than back home.

Ever tried 'sangria' in Macclesfield? (Probably a bad example as it tastes rank in Spain too)

But you get the idea smile

it's brewed all over the place, and the stuff brewed here is better than I ever had in England
