"They" (that is yer man in the street" often say that Guiness made (and
consumed) in Ireland has a special taste to it. My friend worked at the
Guiness brewery in Dublin and let me into a well kept trade secret that I'm
willing to divuldge (but please do not refer to the source if you repeat it).
Apparently, the Liffey water is mixed into a large vat and once the Guinness
is brewed, it is stood for a while in an adjacent vat before being bottled. In
this vat there is the carcass of a cow, rotting away slowly. Though this
sounds disgusting, the Guiness actually acts as a preservative and the bits
are filtered out further down the process line.
Ask anyone who drinks this stuff in Ireland - it really does taste good.
