I always have dragons milk on tap.

Plumber, Guinness in Europe IS a different recipe than the stuff here in the states. It's a lot better imho.

To my palate it was way smoother than what we have here. Went down very very easy.

Smoother and maybe they didn't toast the grains as much?

It's good enough that it spoiled me to the point I rarely drink the American stuff anymore.

I agree, less bitter. Do you have a source for European Guinness?

A beer that I really liked when I was stationed in Mannheim FRG ('73-'76) was Eichbaum.

They had several different beers, all were good.

No sorry. At the time work was sending me to the Neatherlands and there was an Irish bar behind the hotel....many brain cells were sacrificed upon the altar

My frou frou coffee or I mean beer for the next five beers is Samuel Adams....

I've been drinking beer since around 1971. This is by far the best beer I've ever had.

I will be trying that next thanks for the tip.
That's if I can find it.

It's an Asheville NC brewery. I don't know how far and wide they distribute, but that variety has been out since the mid 1990's.

They say, all Guinness is made in Dublin, no difference between the Guinness that is available in US vs Europe.

 

[ThePlumber]

Hmmm, it was on tap. Do they have a different dispensing/aerating system over there?

 

[Bender]

I really don't know......I do agree with you though. I remember it seeming a bit smoother overseas.

 

[1911U004]

Maybe it's handled differently? All ways refrigerated? No long transit by sea and then setting in a warehouse for weeks?

I recall seeing Made in Canada on some labels, stopped drinking it, it was not as good.

the lawsuit names parent company Diageo-Guinness USA and Diageo North America as defendants and alleges that the company misleads consumers into believing that Guinness Extra Stout distributed in the United States is produced and imported from Dublin, Ireland. In reality, Guinness Extra Stout is primarily brewed and bottled in Canada, as is noted in fine print on the label. O'Hara argues that because Guinness is marketed as an Irish import, consumers pay a premium for what is actually Canadian beer and deserve compensation.

Seems I am not alone...

All of those are excellent points.

Now, if you want a really good beer to drink or make a beef vegetable beef stew with, I like this: http://chimay.com/us/bieres/#acceptLicense

I like the blue and red label ones.

Or maybe I was just really thirsty that day, and Bush lite would have tasted great.

Oh yeah. They have some great selections.

Guess the info I found may be outdated, was 2016....."the key factors are really time and distance. All the Guinness that's sold in the UK, Ireland, and North America is made in Dublin"
