Irish brand name but surely the product you are buying isn't produced in Ireland ?
 
 
Looks like it to me I bought it from Home Bargains  in Sunderland it says on the pkt produced in the ROI by Gallaghers Bakery Ardara Co.Donegal Ireland.

I only tend to drink Guinness in England on St Patrick's  Day and some Sunderland away matches.
 
Always drink Guinness when I'm in Ireland.

Rarely drink Guinness in England just on the great day St Pats Day as I like to drink Irish products i.e.Guinness Magners Jamesons etc. and as I say the occasional Sunderland away game if the beer in the pub is iffy. I've  had some very good pints of Guinness in Shepherds Bush and Arsenal over the years.
 
You may find this difficult to believe but I usually drink Double Maxim in Sunderland.

Whats wrong with drinking Guinness outside of Ireland ? I have drank pints in England before that were every bit as good as here.Granted some places it can be sh*te but you can get a crap pint a few hundred yards away from the brewery.

My first pint of Guinness was in Boston and have never looked back. This pub was renowned for their savage pints of black. Even me ex's dad who visited couldn't believe how good it was. Have had some great pints in some bars in the uk too.

Me too.
Never drank it in the 8 years I lived in London.
But I surprisingly drank copious amounts of it San Francisco two years ago and it was gorgeous.

For me it can never be as good as certain pubs in Dublin so why tease yourself and say yerrrr this is great when we you know it's not .
 
A bit like drinking VB or Fosters in OZ now would you say it's just as good here or in the UK Confused

Guiness is an English beer brewed by a French company based in London.
 
Its about as 'Irish' as an Intel chip.
