even so, I'd take a Murphy's stout served in the US over any of the
psuedo beers they brew here.

Aren't they owned by Fosters now?

I had the pleasure of getting a Carlsberg on a flight from Brussels to
Chicago... it was much better than the cans you get in the US.
But if you're going to be in Belgium, you might as well have a good
Trappist beer (I'm particular to Chimay myself)
BTW: As per the name of the distribution, this is yet another good pick
in a line of names with dual meanings... I think Guinness the beer is
supposed to be the first reference (to tie it to pinstripe), then the
actor's name will be used to tie together the title of the next release.
(speaking of which, wouldn't it be funny if they picked Ford (as in
Harrison F.) for the next release, then tied it somehow to Ford Prefect
of the Douglass Adams books. The only problem is that Ford is a
questionable name to attach a distribution to)
