Is the Guinness at the Black Horse from bottle/cans or is it from a tap? I've been told that Guinness doesn't travel well, but I refuse to beleive my quest is without hope! There must be decent Guinness on tap somewhere in Mexico and I'm going to find it!
In fact, I think someone should open an Irish Pub in Playa del Carmen. I could find no Guinness on tap in the bars. Mad

They already have a German restaurant. (which unfortunately lacks really good German beers) It is time for an inauthentic, cheesy, overpriced Irish Pub on the Maya Riveria!

I think they have it on tap. I will investigate...a very thorough investigation, I promise. Wink

The British embassy pub is another place that has Guiness, in cans only, last time I checked. There's also an Irish pub in Condesa, Mexico City that I haven't been to you yet. They'll likely have it too.

Ok CDaniels, I have a Guiness report. It is only served in cans. I checked at both the Black Horse and the Celtic pub. The bartender at Celtic, a self-proclaimed expert in suds, sys that nowhere in Mexico City can one find it on tap. Corona on tap is not bad though.

Johnny, I love the shirt. It didn't escape me that you were mocking me with this pose however. Wink

Loz, a little audio/video clip for the jazz. They had a very good tenor sax player. The video is far too dark, but the audio is crisp.

I didn't have the "fingering" in the pose down just right (I guess I haven't spent enough time staring at your mug shot), and it looks like I'm missing a couple of front teeth, but the music was fantastic and it was great hanging out with a "legendary forum poster!" I forgot to ask you how to add those emoticon things - drag and drop doesn't seem to work. Once again Guy, good meeting you in el D.F. I think I'm off to one last Lucha Libre tonight.

Cdaniels,

Maybe you should reconsider and go to Japan? Laughing

Back in 1996 there were several places in the Osaka area with Guiness on tap. and about 8 US $ a pint!

A teacher in the staff room at my school once asked me if I found it difficult to live on our salary. I asked him how many 8 dollar pints he drank a week!
