Guinness has been in Canada for a long time. Back in the 1960's it was bottled by John Labatts in London Ontario, it tasted like medicine, so I stopped drinking it and tried Canadian beer instead, Very good all of them. I was delighted when draft Guinness became available in the pubs though I still have the odd beer. I have a four pack of draft Guinness at my feet while I am typing this, this stuff was brewed in Ireland, it may be canned in Canada, I don't know, so long as its sold in Canada keeps me happy. It is also true that Guinness used to send the kegs to agents for bottling. The very best bottle of Guinness I ever had in Belfast was Morton's Red Heart Guinness, I always got it in Kelly's Cellars in Bank Street. It was sheer delight. I agree that it is getting a bit pricey, I will always buy it, maybe just cut down on the consumption a little,
