Spaw, Big Mick says you don't wash and I guess he must know, but you surely have no appreciation for one of life's great treats not to mention one of Ireland's great traditions.

Perhaps you are only familiar with the Canadian product bottled under license by LaBatt's. That product was, indeed, a great disappointment. Trust me and Mick and Steve and Dan and Morticia and McGrath and Amergin... Guinness is a sacred trust and dassn't be tampered with.
