AAAGGGHHH! I couldn't make it this year either!

According to the local "Beers of the World" guys here, Kilkenny is not available in the states so I have been picking up a case when my travels lead me north of the border.

Kilkenny is available in the US, on the east coast.

I had more than my fair share of Foreign Extra during a trip to Belize last spring. Very tasty, but a totally different animal than your standard Guinness or Guinness Extra.

Oh yummy! Hope to have some for Christmas. Wonder how that will go with the much debated shortbread!!! The hard thing about Scots -Irish? Half wants to drink and the other half does't want to pay for it. Cheers fellow Rabble!

I tried this a few weeks ago after looking for it for a couple of weeks. I finally found it in my local grocer. I must say I'm not a fan. It's way too strong and "bitter" for my taste. I'm not a huge Guinness drinker to begin with (give me a Strongbow anyday), but I'll pass on this one in the future. I'll stick with the regular Guinness on the rare occassions that I decide to partake.
