Guinness(as long as it's in Ireland...not in US),

Is there something to this, as I really liked it when I was in Europe, but here it has a funky after-taste? I just assumed it was me.

I think Guinness has different formulas for different countries. I live in Ireland now and I can't really taste the difference. I think the export they make for the US is about the same as Ireland, it's just a better drinking experience over in Ireland, no?????

I wondered about that, but I don't think so. I really liked Kilkenny(sp?) beer. That stuff is yummy.

That really isn't true anymore in my opinion. I think it was because Guiness uses nitrogen rather than co2 for carbonation, but so many US bars with guiness have nitrogen for the taps now. I specifically drank only guiness before going to ireland to see if there really was a difference, and noticed none (~2 years ago)

Guinness made for U.S. export is very different.It has preservitives and a higher alcohol content.
