There is only currently one Guinness brewery in the USA and it is near Baltimore. The next one is opening in Chicago. They don't brew the famous Irish stout there which is what is served at McGrady's, thus it is an import. I had it there yesterday and it was awesome - you could tell it was freshly tapped on a clean tap line. They had run out of Scottish imported Tennents which they say won't always be available there since it's hard to get. Someone in line wanted the Tennents and I suggested the Guinness since they were out. They said no - that Guiness is too strong. The ABV on Guinness is only 4.2% which is below average and IBU 40 which is less bitter than most IPAs. Cheers!
