Not that I ever drink the much, as it is foul in the extreme, being essentially a species of alcoholic mud, but I was under the impression that Guiness is just an Irish company which makes stout, which is a British thing.

Not that it matters, as Guiness is a global thing these days. One of my ambitions in the near future is to do the Inca trail from Lima to Machu Pichu, but I suspect that when I get to the summit I will find amongst the Inca ruins a MacDonalds, a Starbucks, and an Irish theme pub with posters of cheery Irishmen holding up pints of Guiness. Ditto trekking in Nepal and reaching the summit of Everest.

I believe the Irish invented stout, but this itself was a breed of the English porter...

It may be a global brand, but it certainly does not taste the same. I like proper Guiness, but the chilled stuff you get here isn't very good. It's a good source of iron you know ;-)

So are the Derbyshire Dales, but I'm not eating them.

Talking of Starbucks, don't they have joint franchises with Conservative Central Offices these days?

Extra shot of Conservatism to go please...
