The story I've heard through my in-laws (big in the South Wales alcohol
industry in as much as they own a chain of free houses and have what is
generally accepted as being the best pint of Guinness in the Valleys) is
that there's various bits of fish heads and all sorts in the vats. It sounds
like urban myths to me... but knowing the potency of Guinness, there's got
to be something unsavoury in there!
I'll be happy sticking to my Stella. Water, Hops, Malt, Yeast. And given
these brewers, stinging nettles, a volcano and the body of Elvis*.
