Guinness from a bottle tastes completely different to Guinness on tap or in a can. In the UK, at least.

There are many beers drunk in Britain and Ireland that are drunk warm, and better for it.

But that American fizzy piss you call beer needs to be cold otherwise you could taste it and you'd either honk up or realise it's flavoured water, and that buzz you get is caused entirely by the placebo effect. It's okay cold, with pizza, though.

I'm aware that beer is drunk warm over there in the third world. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Right or wrong I prefer it cold. The question was whether we have cold Guiness so I was saying yea, pretty much all out beer is cold here. And I completely agree that the majority of beer drunk here is crappy piss-water.

Do you guys have Guinness extra cold? It's good. I prefer it to the normal Guinness in Summer.

This is heresy, but I don't care.

What are you talking about? Most Americans drink pretty much all our beer cold all the time.

From the Diageo website..

Guinness Draught Extra Cold
Guinness Draught - but served at about one-third cooler than regular Guinness. A refreshing pint, perfect as a summer thirst quencher. Guinness Draught Extra Cold actually comes from the same barrel as Guinness Draught but goes through a super cooler on the way to the glass
Category: Beer
Top markets: GB, Ireland
Launched: 1998

No idea if you have it in the US, but I like it in summer.

Heh. Glad I quoted this so I could see the aside.

Anyway, yes. I don't eat organs. Or blood. Their chocolate is better than ours though.

So is this actually a different beer? What's different about it?

I said "the majority" meaning Bud, Miller &amp; Coors. However, I'd argue that good American beers are as good as any other.
