Our local ABC carried Watleys for a while and then just stopped. I don't know why. Ticked me off.
The Guinness they sell here is nasty compared to what I got in NY. I can't figure it out. When I was in LA there was an Aussie cream stout that came in a big bottle from Trader Joe's with a Kangaroo on it that was awesome, I miss it.

Oh, I think the Nordic people who sweeten beer and put fruit in it have frozen brains.

No it's a special recipe for "american tastes" as perceived by guiness, I suppose. e.g. in utah you can buy heineken, becks, etc, and it is all 3.2 but looks like regular beer from the label.
