I completely agree on the pasteurized stuff that is exported to us. But,
try it over there. I traversed the River Shannon from west to east, playing
rugby at every stop. As we neared St James Gate in Dublin, the Guinness got
better and better - it was a whole day fresher! By the time we got to the
brewery, we really did believe it was good for our health. It's a totally
different taste from over here.
This puts me of a mind of the old chestnut:
There was a beer magnates' conference in town, and the owner of Budweiser,
Coors, and Guinness found themselves sharing a table at a post-meeting
party. The waiter comes up to take drink orders. Mr. Annheiser says, "I'll
have the King of Beers - give me a Budweiser!" Mr. Coors says, "I'll have a
beer made from the cool, clear waters of the Rockies - give me a Coors!"
Mr. Guinness coughs politely and says, "I'll have a Coke, please." The
other two are shocked: "You won't even have a drink with us?!" To which he
replies, "Well, I thought that as you chaps hadn't ordered beer, we must be
in one of those 'dry' counties you Americans seem to be so fond of..."
Guinness: It'll put lead in yer pencil!
