Oh bah, I argued about this with you once before and I'd argue about
it again. (At length, over a pint.) There's no magic Irish recipe
thing going on, it's just travelled less far and been treated better.
You _can_ get an almost identical pint in London (made in England) to
the one you get in Dublin (made in Ireland)... it's just that most of
the time you don't.
OK, maybe my sample set is too small :) though mostly because guiness is
generally digusting IMVHO.
Anyway, while we're on the subject: Linux World
Expo 2004 (Weds-Thurs
6-7 October, London Olympia,
http://www.linuxworldexpo.co.uk/) -- I'm
not attending this time, but I could probably face a beer at a
coincident time and place. Anyone?
Hmm... maybe, I'l get back to you on that.
