Nice that John Larkin has finally discovered it.

It's been brewed since 1759

and Dorothy Sayers - the novelist - wrote the Toucan ad in 1935

In North America, toucans mostly spend their time promoting sugar (with added multicolor "froot" flavored cereal).

Your own link shows it just came out last year: "In 2014, Guinness released Guinness Blonde, a lager brewed in Latrobe, Pennsylvania using a combination of Guinness yeast and American ingredients.[67] The Guinness Brewers Project also released two craft beers, Dublin Porter and West Indies Porter.[19]"

Hoisted by his own petard, :^)

Latrobe, is it in the old rolling rock brewery?

Well, he was only 255 years off.

Now we can make a Half-and-Half from Guinness and Guinness.

John Larkin claims to have been to Europe, where the original is ubiquitous .

Americans do tend to take their local versions all too seriously.

Zinfandel is actually Primitivo and was imported from Italy or Croatia or t hereabouts.

and James Arthur thinks that the US invented democracy, which the Athenians find a bit odd

Another giant leap for mankind.

A great beer I just discovered a few weeks ago.

We Ulster descendents call them black-and-tans. ;)

I think (without citing any authority) that one of them is Guninness and Harp, and the other is Guninness and Bass. Or vice versa.

I like beer and wine that I can see through. You never know what lurks in the dark.

As far as bar-smelling Irish dive bars go, the Dovre Club is hard to beat.

They have really good, free corned beef and cabbage every St Paddy's Day. A bunch of militant feminists bought the building, made it into The Womens Center, and tried to evict the Dovre Club. In the end, the Irish drunks won.

GPS is closer to home, but no corned beef.

They don't mind if you bring in Mexican food or pizza from the other places on the block. We get free beer at GPS because the bartender owes us.

WTF? That is an abomination which I have never seen or heard of in Ireland.

Cabbage and bacon[1] is traditional Irish food. Corned beef is traditional British 'food'[2].

[1] Bacon in this sense is boiled bacon, not rashers. [2] Take a slice of corned beef an heat gently in a frying pan. After a while, you will have molten fat and a few microscopic flecks of meat[3]. [3] Eyelids, if you're lucky[4]. [4] You won't be.

OK, I'll have your portion if you don't want it.

We have so many Irish here, the USA is more Irish than Ireland.

I meant *good* corned beef. And what irrational prejuduce do you have against fat?

We spent a few weeks in Ireland. Seemed to me that people ate mostly mutton and corn flakes. The bars were so smokey that we couldn't stay in many of them.

Ireland looks like it was a tough place to make a living in, back when my ancestors left. Beautiful but harsh.
