I got mine at IGA and the label read brewed in Dublin.

I heard that they all say brewed in Dublin but the some are actually a concentrate thats sent over seas and then watered down before canning. So technically its still brewed in Dublin but its not the same. I was told that by a guy in a grog shop so i really wouldnt know however. Disclaimer.
No, where G is brewed under licence as in Australia, the base brew is done on local malts but a concentrate of the roast barley etc is sent out to be added to the brew. If you're really interested in Guinness, the "Bible" is Guinness-the 250 Year Quest for the Perfect Pint by Bill Yenne.
The cans come from Dublin as they contain N2 widgets and I don't believe we have the technology to produce widgets here (in much the same way that the Kiwis are unable to produce ring-pull food cans or toothpaste tubes with an attached lid).

Is it rude if I clear out my local Aldi's entire stock of these? Great price.GibboQLD said:

A couple of years ago a bunch of us picked up left over smokers for $100 - bloody excellent, I love mineBridges said:
They are rebadged versions of Hark Smokers http://hark.com.au/hark-units/smoke/2-door-gas-smoker.html
The Hark branded smoker is usually about $300 or more

Worth it for the full price IMO, as they may not have left over stock this time. There's a smoking thread on this forum that features these smokers if you need inspiration.Bridges said:
This one is different from mine in that it's two door.
Well there I was in Lismore Aldi today buying pork belly and some Tomatoes and guess what jumped into my trolley
Couple of guys were buying them and we got a bit of a discussion group going, including excellent advice like don't do it anywhere near the house and get the chips from Bunnings etc.
I'll assemble it tomorrow, expecting to take it out of the box and fire up this evening: the little bugger makes IKEA flat pack assembly look like kiddies play blocks. :unsure: :unsure:
I bought hickory chips and a box of apple, cherry and mesquite wood chips so the pork belly won't go to waste: off over to the smokin meat thread now.
