Hey bro, You do know you we have plenty of other stuff here, including Guinness

.
I wasn't trying to disparage Aussie alcohol. I like it a lot. But the Guinness is bad, really bad. Even in Dublin once you get more than a mile from the brewery the taste drops off.
I speak from experience as I'm kiwi as an Irishman who emigrated many years ago.

Ah, I misread the context. And you actually have two identities

. I must admit I haven't even tried Guinness.
The only thing vaguely close that I occasionally drink is Tooheys Old dark ale, which has a similar colour. I'm sure they taste nothing alike though.
According to AI the reason the Aussie brewed Guinness is often considered terrible is because our local water is different to Ireland.
Apparently people have actually started petitions to stop it being brewed here, and go back to importing it!
