Thread: Beer of the Day !

Rant! - Just pouring a bottle of Guinness Extra and was reading the label..

Made in Canada?! Guess I'm a trusting soul. But if I'd had wanted Moosehead, I'd have bought Moosehead. Oh well, I eat "Chinese" food made in the U.S. and enjoy it, and this "Guinness" is OK too. Guess I'll read my beer labels more carefully before purchasing from now on.

And what's wrong with a beer made in Canada? And for the record...most Canadians don't drink Moosehead.

I thought I was drinking a beer brewed in Ireland! Ah well, fool me once...

Guinness is brewed in many countries but originated in Ireland. The recipe is the same no matter where its brewed.

Thanks

Sitting in the hotel waiting to start up a new project Monday morning. I thought this would help pass the time.

The recipe is the same, you're absolutely right, but the Irish brewing process is a little different and the ingredients are a lot fresher. Plus it's not pasturized as aggressively there, since they go through Guinness so fast that it doesn't sit for long. There's definitely a different taste between Irish Guinness and the rest of the world. Even in England it tastes like American Guinness instead of Irish Guinness.

So if I like Guinness, will I like Irish Guinness? And if I will, is it worth a plane ticket?

I knew it....

Today's second sampling. The first time I've tried this one but their Arrogant Bastard is great so I took a shot. A very well balanced beer and easy to drink. I like it a lot!
