Guinness is brewed to dozens of recipes in dozens of countries all over the world. It's not even intended to be the same here as in Ireland. It's the Bose of beer.
This is likely true for alot of beers.
Friend of mine worked for one of the big Canadian brewers decades back. He once told me that Canadian would taste like Blue in BC, or something to that effect.
There is apparent 'adjusting' in the brewing to be competitive in delivering a beer preferred by local palates.
Either way, i think i'll be drinking ours with a real granite counter (about 90% decided now).
