These days large companies are not 'owned' by countries.
Indeed in some cases its the other way round.

All the profits from Guinness are exported out of the country anyway, plenty of Irish owned breweries out there instead though.

but Guinness has never been Irish. It's a marketing thing. Sure they fired everyone they suspected supported the rising and didn't hire a catholic master brewer until the 50's

Protestant Guinness a little harsh & austere, Catholic Guinness hard to take too seriously, tho has a lovely creamy head Father. 
No, I must say I'm a big fan of the Buddhist Guinness...have often entered the Zen Circle in Tallaght Village after about twelve pints.

Or to put it another way , off to Dublin tomorrow to drink the best pint of Guinness in the world for me .........


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.


Guinness in Camden is quality.

But now they hire anyone if they're suitably qualified etc etc.

Some of my best friends had great grandparents who worked for the DMP.... should I not be friends with them as a result?
