Why Guiness tastes better in Ireland. Two reasons: it’s more popular so kegs empty faster (and you always get a fresh pint), and Guinness send someone round to every pub to flush the lines once every three weeks.

So nothing to do with it not traveling well then?

There's also the skill factor. A good pint of Guinness takes about five minutes to pour (pull, settle; pull, settle). Most bar staff in England haven't copped on to that.
I also heard that it's a different recipe in the US. The alcohol content is at the point where it would have to be considered a malt liquor with different taxes etc. Don't know if this is true or not but having had it both in Ireland and the US, it is better in Ireland.
