What is the deal with Guiness
Neil W. Roache
made by Arthur Guiness. Specifically, that is a European version and
an American version. I've been to Europe and I drank plenty of Guiness
over there, but I never noticed a difference. Guiness is by far my favorite
beer so I need to know if there is any trueth to this cruel tale.

I dont know what the deal with Guiness is. What the hell is Guiness
anyways? And who the hell is Arthur Guiness? Is he Arthur Guinness's long
lost bastard second-removed half-brother? :)
Guinness spelled with one "n"? Sacrilige! Hehehe
Yeah ... My fave beer is also Guinness.
Guinness and Chili Peanuts ... two great tastes that go great together!

In Ireland beer is taxed by alcohol content therefore the stout brewed for
domestic consumption is lower in alcohol than their export version

Guinness (spelt thus) comes in several versions in Europe. Obviously
the draft (keg) but also canned, with widgets, and, of course,
bottled.
Both are made in London and Dublin but each is different!
Dublin draft and bottles are both superior to London-produced stuff.
I rarely drink London Guinnes here in Yorkshire but drink nothing else
when in Ireland.
My local supermarket (Morrisons) has Dublin Guinness in bottles and it
is superb!

different types of Guinness.
Apparently, the IRL & UK version have higher alcohol % and the US brews
have lower %. This is because tax rates on alcohols exported from IRL &
UK are much higher than their domestic brews.
US brew is about 3 - 3.5% alcohol and overseas it can be as high as 6%.
That was the story and I'm stickin' with it!

I can certainly believe that the import has a little higher alcohol
content, but anything sold in the US that is 3.2% or lower must be
marked ON THE CONTAINER, by federal law. Most US beer, and most beer
in general ranges in the 3.5-6.0 range, depending on style. Malt
liquors, barleywine, etc. are a different matter. Higher alcohol
content, can adversely effect the taste of beer, and after all, taste
is what it's all about, not getting fucked up, although that can be a
pleasant side effect. Now, before everyone starts screaming about that
comment, may I suggest you switch to hard liquor if all you're after
is a buzz... By the way, I have also heard the same about many
imports, but don't know how true it is.

I hear the closer you get to Dublin, the better it gets -- Any truth to that?

Well your very wrong.
The very best Guinness in the WORLD is only made in Dublin Ireland.Any
Dublin drinker never drinks guinness anywhere else,especially in the
UK. The difference is that Guinness sold in Dublin is unpasturised and
a natural beer.Everywhere else it is pasturised and is just not the
same.
The % alcohal is similar everywhere except in Africa where it can be
up to 7% ,but the locals believe it is an aid to manhood,and you
know,they could be right!

uh.. Paul.... What happens to alcohol, when it is pasturised? It is
true that the alcohol content is higher in Ireland, compared to the
US. Guess that just meanss we get to drink more Guiness, before
passing out in a stuper, still grippin the glass, mind you.

One would think that nothing at all happens to it, assuming that the
pasturization would be done in a closed vessel to keep from altering
the composition.

Actually, from what I have read, it is the other way around. The
exported Guinness is slightly higher in alcohol than the stuff that
stays in Ireland, due to the taxation. I believe there are statements
to this effect in Michael Jackson's writings.

Also, when Guiness if canned in Ireland, from what I understand, nitrous
oxide is added to keep the beer from loosing its flavor. Any truth to
this?
