Yeah I'm wondering if their evolutionary brew might teach the Germans a thing or two <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

My money is on Köstritzer, given Diageo track record with new releases

So who's gonna send me a bottle? <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> Maybe if I get to go to Copenhagen in May someone can bring one over (along with a load of Porterhouse beers <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->)

Its only available in norther Ireland and Malaysia i believe, beer run to the north?

It's lager, but it's dark! Wow! What will those innovators at Diagio think of next? Only a company with 250 years of brewing experience could make that fly.

I'm really rather surprised that they've branded it as Guinness. I thought that lesson had finally been learned. I guess the figures showed that lager was enough of a steady market for this to work, and Northern Ireland is already home to a successful more-or-less Guinness-branded lager.

Oh yeah, except that's the market share they'll be eating into. Ooops <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt="" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->
