There are a few places that properly pour.  Conor O'Neil's does an adequate
job, and I'm sure there are a few places in NYC/Chicago, but my fave place
is Nanny O'Brien's in DC.

My favorite place for Guinness is my dining room.

Because I'm sure Guinnes came in and set the taps *there*.

My tastebuds wouldn't know the difference nor would I pay for the knowledge.

guiness from a can beats hanging out in a shitty yuppy
bar and paying twice as much per ounce and being denied
the right to a stinky cigar.

anne said:

"Well, it's Guinness in the States, of course it's crap. Now if you 
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.

It doesn't taste the same if you buy it off the tap at a yuppy bar than if
you get it from the can right from the store (aka brewery)

I didn't read past like the second sentence in Richard's post, but it is
completely untrue that all Guiness is brewed in Ireland.

Yet another bald-faced lie.

#510 scholar why can't you understand that someone misstating something 
he believes to be the truth is not someone who is lying.  

The Guinness Brewery imports the Guinness we get here in the U.S. 
direct from Dublin, where it is made.  Now that I check Wikipedia, 
which you must think everyone should do before they bother to post 
anything, I see that there are parts of the world (west africa for 
instance) where the brewery licenses the recipe.  

But to the best of my knowledge there is no difference between the 
Guinness draft we get in the U.S. and what they get in Ireland.  Again, 
you can find some 'net source that says otherwise fine, but even if so, 
I'm not lying, I am simply stating the truth as I understand it.

What about frozen white castle burgers? Are they cooked on the same sanitary
stainless steel grills as the original thing?

 re #513:

 Does that extend to politicians?

 Does it still apply to people who offer seemingly definitive
 statements on items they easily could have verified beforehand?

resp:508 Yes Richard, that's where it's brewed. It's in the travel time
and settling that it loses something. Hell, I had Dubliners tell me that
the quality IN Dublin depended on distance from St. James.

The funniest thing about #513 is that I believe Scholar (in #510) was 
paroding Richard's silly retorts to klg.

IHB I had a really nice day with Grex's own Marc VanHeyningen. We went
for a walk in the woods and had a nice dinner at Sidetrack and hung out
talking all day. It was fun!
