Doesn't matter, it's still watered down.

You have that on good authority, do you?

Well, let's see, what comes out of the tap at the pub is much the same as
what comes out of the bottle, and what comes out of either is very thin
compared to what came out of the tap at the pub 30 years ago, when it would
hold a spoon erect and you could write legibly in the foam, so yeah, I have
it on good authority. I have a friend who is British and made a point of
checking what was being served in Ireland on his next trip over after we
noted this discrepancy, and he tells me that what he got in an Irish pub in
Ireland had the same watery consistency as what we get in the US.

You're welcome to disagree, but anybody who has been drinking Guinness since
the '60s and is being honest will tell you that Guinness today is much
thinner than it once was.
