I was wondering the other day if the Guinness brewery is unionized/if any Guinness products at all are union made. I couldn't find a union label on the packaging anywhere, but I have a feeling it is. Anyone know for sure?

Guinness/Diageo do have breweries in Africa (Nigeria I think) which I know nothing about though

It'd be 4 euro or over in Ireland. Beamish and Murphys are far better stouts anyway

Those are ridiculous prices. I can get Guinness at £1.10 a can at the nearest off-licence.

Whatever you do DON'T drink Foreign Extra. It is the most disgusting stuff I have ever drank and it always makes me feel unwell.

Why drink Guinness from a can anyway, it looks like the real thing when you pour it, but it tastes really bland. Over here we get bottles of Guinness Special Export, which is really fucking good.
Unfortunately, many good beers are owned by globalists who are determined to suck the living soul out of the brew. That's why it's usually pointless to drink Guinness on draught, because they often serve it ice cold because "that's how beer is drunk", so it doesn't taste like anything.

Its virtually impossible to find a bar that sells extra cold in Belfast - nobody touches the stuff. The last time I saw it was in Glasgow, and I wouldn't recommend getting a pint there until you see how they pour it, a lot of the bar staff don't seem to have heard of the double pour, they pour it like lager, and it comes out far too watery.

Glad to hear that. In that case, I guess it's just that bartenders here are idiots.
