were in Dublin... ;)"

tsk tsk, anne its the SAME Guinness here as there.  Why? Because all 
Guinness is brewed at the brewery at St. James Gate, Dublin in 
Ireland.  Using the same water and the same ingredients and the same 
exacting brewing process.  In fact I bet that when the brewers are 
brewing over there, they have no idea if their batches are to be sold 
internationally or domestically, because they are brewing use vats of 
beer and the marketing process wouldn't begin until the stuff is 
kegged.

guinness draft is of course not guinness extra stout.  extra stout is 
the bottled variety, which is really a different beer altogether with 
a higher alcohol content (hence the *extra*)  I like both versions, 
and both versions will taste the same wherever you get them because 
they both originate at the brewery in Dublin.
