They have the monopoly on Guinness because of the different way of drawing it from the barrels. Also, they kind of cornered the market of sports’ bars. We used to go before they started showing rugby on German tv.
I love it. And once I tried “poor man’s black velvet” as a dare (Guinness + cider? what on earth were they thinking?!) and I’ve been hooked ever since! 😋
😄 More for me! (Now I really want one, I think the last black velvet I had was almost a year ago, for that matter my last beer was in Greece, aka more than a month ago.)

I loathe Guiness, so how they draw it up is of little consequence to me!
