2. Have you tried the Guinness 250 Anniversary Stout?
I don't generally like the Guinness available in the US, but the 250 is quite nice. More like the actual Irish pub stuff than anything you'll find this side of Dublin.

6. No. No nitro.
So it lacks a bit of the creaminess you'd get from a Guinness on tap. But the taste is right on the money. None of the chalkiness that US Guinness tends to have.

12. Cheers!
If it were a wee bit creamier it would be the best Guinness I have had in the sates. It is better than my local draught and he throws out the barrel if it is 3 days old and unsold.

16. I'm kind of a beer geek. I homebrew, too.
And yes, Smithwick's can be a very nice rut. Shaking things up can also be fun.

Plus, I hear it's tasty on corn flakes.
