A few years (ok, many years) ago, I made an Irish rugby tour. Landed in
Shannon and followed the river to Dublin. At each stop, we tested the
Guinness. It got better the closer we got to St James Gate (Dublin). Our
final host was a VP at Guinness. He said that for home country sales, there
is very little added for preservation. So, as we approached Dublin, the
brew we drank was fresher and fresher. The stuff we had onsite was the best.
