Guinness travesty

[EE33]

Can't beat the Guinness from the tap.
Not a fan of the Guinness draugh with the widget (440ml can @4.4% Alcohol)
Love the Extra Stout, unfortunately it's had it's nuts cut off here and is only rated at 6% instead of 6.8% originally.

Cans are actually much better for preserving beer (and no, the can doesn't contribute metallic flavours, that's a myth).

Bottles expose the beer to sun/UV, and are more prone to seal issues. Clear bottles are terrible for this. Ever notice how a brand like Corona sometimes smells extra skunky?

or maybe they are right and it doesnt travel i drank it in a wide range of establishments from cleveland down to phoenix and it all tasted the same. different. the general concensus of opinion was that it was something to do with the E.P.A. importation regs. i would love to taste the stuff that they brew in Nigeria? i think its Nigeria. my favourite pint is in the crown bar in belfast.

Cans for me from this point on. Perfect brew for relaxing at home.
