It is the Extra Stout and not the bottled or canned draught that may be brewed in Canada, or many other locations. As for beating up Diageo... They do not stand alone here. I have taken shots at many mega brewers in this blog. They tend to buy very well-known and classic beer brands, then they somehow dumb it down in attempt to gain market share. I would prefer they would market the beer for what made it notable in the first place... Here are few... Pilsener Urquell Hoegaarden Newcastle By the way, I have written many positive articles that discuss Guinness, and I actually drink it quite regularly...

The Essence you are talking about applies to other products, like Guinness Extra Stout. Extra Stout and Foreign Extra Stout are brewed locally, as are the local variants you find in Nigeria or Malaysia or many other countries. Guinness Extra Cold is the exact same thing as Guinness Draught, it's just pumped through a supercooler first.

If not, then I'd prefer to have mine served up quickly. Thank you very much. Does all this waiting produce a glass of beer that tastes any better?
