My understanding is that it is brewed to a different recipe for UK as something in the Irish recipe contravenes UK food regulations.Actually, all Guiness served in England is now brewed in Ireland, and has been since they abandoned the Fort Knox-like Brewery in Park Royal in London...

Your point about Fosters is well made though, however IIRC, this was not always the case. Can anyone remember probably 30+ years ago when Fosters came in a larger can, and was much stronger and more viscous?

Guinness is a bit like Marmite in as much as you either like it or you don't. It also varies a great deal in taste depending on where you buy it and how it is served. A pint served in a pub in Ireland will be totally different from a tin in England (in fact I believe the Irish recipe is illegal in England)....Whatever you do buy Stefan do NOT buy Guinness here...
It also suffers more from being incorrectly stored or served.
Give it a try - you might like it.

Not just any Fullers Stefan. Most of their brews are pretty good, but the Golden Pride is the serious one. Not unlike an Abbeye (Sp?)
Another British brewer I would recommend is Wychwood I have yet to have a duff brew from them.

This is one of my favourite occasionals. The first time I had one I noticed 4.something on the bottle and thought it was nothing special. Then I had a mouthful and it was obvious it was not 4%. Had another look at the bottle and I see 4.2 units, 8.5%. Good stuff.

No, but I do get a bit grouchy some times Techno
