Does Guinness Extra Stout = Guiness Pub Draught?
71Sti...@-ANTISPAM-Home.Com
Is there a difference between Guinness Extra Stout (12 Ounce
Bottles) and Guinness in the Pub Draught cans? Is the Extra
Stout brew stronger than the brew in the cans?
Thanks

Yup. It's really a different beer altogether. Just open one of each and
compare them. The difference will be immediate and obvious. And yes, it is
quite a bit stronger.

Would you happen to know what the ABV on those two would be. Also is the
regular draft guiness a different recipie than the can recipie.
Thanks.

The can and draft Guinness are supposed to be the same beer in different
containers. The ABV on Guinness Extra is 6%, and 4.2% on the draft product.
Those are figures from Michael Jackson's Beer Companion.

a concentrate form from Ireland, and "reconsitituted" at the local Labatt's
brewery (in London, Ontario), while the tins and kegs are shipped as such
directly from Ireland.

Gee, that's not what it says at www.Guinness.ie at all. It says that the
stuff in the TAP is the same as the stuff in the CAN, which is NOT the same
as the stuff in the BOTTLE. Are you lying or stupid?

I'll bet if I lined up four glass, two draughts and two cans, and you
blindfolded, you couldn't pick all four of them, boyo. Sometimes I swear
Guinnes gets talked about more than it gets consumed.

Now THAT is true. I too prefer the bottle.

I love GUINNESS in the pint, but LOVE it in the bottle. As a purist, I
feel Guinness is in its truest form in the bottle. Up until 1961 that
is the ONLY way ot was served the world over. Nothing beats that 'knock-

maybe lying yourself, and posing as a man.<<<< NOW, Lew, as I have

So, the rules of the game are, only "special" bob is allowed to slam other
people? Okay, everybody! We have to treat "special" bob with kid gloves, or
he'll run off and never ever post here again. Be nice!

Why is it that every time some stupid idiot comes to this NG and get
contradicted by someone else they think they need to start a verbal bashing
war. if you want everyone to worship THY holy word, start up one those weird
cult-like churches and get the hell out of this NG. in the mean time you
must understand that this NG is open for DISCUSSION about BEER and at some
point in everybodys posting life, SOMEONE is bound to disagree with them,
that just human nature. AND YOU i'm sure are no BEER GOD or anything so LAY
OFF of Lew and go back to that rock you live under.
