I just bought a six-pack of "Guinness Draught", and on the front of the bottle it says, "Serve Extra Cold". Then on the side of the bottle it says, "To really enjoy Guinness Draught, chill for at least 2 hours. Drink straight from the bottle." I can just hear the folks at St. James's Gate rolling on the floor laughing at all the Americans who think the best way to serve beer is encased in dry ice. Or did somebody discover something new about Guinness while I wasn't looking?

And what's with this thing rattling around the bottom of the bottle? The little legend says: "Hear something? That's the new rocket widget delivering you the great taste of Guinness Draught." Looks like a miniature gray plastic torpedo. Is somebody over there going to let us in on the joke?

Aloha,
Mark
