Greatest? It would have been better if the bottle were actually a poured pint in a glass. I refuse to drink Guinness from a bottle! Just finished my nightly poured pint from a can.

Can Guinness isn't really Guinness, it's canned Guinness.

A decent pub in the US can pull it off if they really pay attention to their equipment, but the stuff you buy in a package store ain't the same thing.

Wish I had the proper tap at home, can't hit an Irish Pub every night for a pint. I find the draught in cans a satisfactory substitute but agree the pub tap is the no. 1 pour, especially if it is in Dublin with a shot of Jameson.

Guinness in a bottle is a disgrace, all of the overtones are lost. The misses always looks at me confused when we go out and I ask if the have Guinness on tap and then order something else if they reply "I'm sorry, but we have the bottles." I very much look forward to have a few pints when I, hopefully, one day get to Ireland.

To pub Guinness!

Draught in cans a close (cheaper) substitute to feed the habit. Remember it is a diet beer, too, low in calories.

That is even when, for example, only 10% of the eligible voters show up at the polls, so you really only need 5.1% to ruin it.....

For those of you in the area, British Beer Company in Walpole has very good Guinness on tap. I was there Saturday night and tried one just for the heck of it and it was the best I've had since The Thatch in Randolph closed down years ago. Their Smithwicks on draft was also very good. Much better than the coffee colored water they tried to pass off to me as Smithwicks at the Varsity Club in Quincy last week.
