    Once in a while, but not generally when I'm buying for myself.

    Blah, blah, yes G draughts is brewed in Dublin, but canned nope, and the Guinness in Ireland tastes so much better to me. Might be the freshness, but to me it's not the same here.

    So, Diageo - Guinness USA, Inc. lied to the TTB and got the can labels for Guinness Draught (the only canned Guinness the US has gotten in decades) approved when they clearly state "Brewed in Ireland"?

    Guiness is a good bike ride beer allowing for decent hydration without significant impairment.

    It used to be my go-to, but now I'm sitting here and trying to remember my last Guinness... Damn. I need to go get some Guinness.
    It wasn't a conscious decision to stop drinking it, it just kind of happened.

    Had one a few years ago just didn't taste the same as I remember, I think I have been spoiled here in Portland, im sure I will not return unless it is the only game in the room.

    What is a Guinness?

    In all actuality though, it gets consumed once every year, that's it.

    I'm going to put my, admittedly small, reputation on the line and suggest that will be a bit gash.

    I haven't had more than two or three Guinnesses in the last five years. The Extra Stout was the last one I had that wasn't on draft and it was pretty decent for what it is.

    Yes. I'll have it at a bar that doesn't have many options. And it never disappoints, I enjoy it every time because I know exactly what I'm getting. So yes. I'm no snob

    Guinness Foreign Extra Stout was re-introduced into the US market in 2010:
    The Press Release is incorrect when it said "Export to the U.S. was discontinued during prohibition and the variant is now making its return to the market." FES was exported to the US up until the 1960s.

    Same here. I had one the other day. Not terrible, but a bit bland.
