Glad to know someone is still reading, as I haven’t posted here for a while!

To be honest, I wouldn’t be able to tell one flavour of made-up fairytale from another and don’t really care, so I’m comfortable with being called out for inaccuracy here.

Guinness refused to employ Catholic brewers until the 1960s and were strongly Protestant Unionist. The Foreign Extra was brewed for export to the British Empire, not Catholic missionaries! Definitely not! Arthur would not approve!
