Don't know the answer to your question as I am always either going to work or driving from the airport so teetotal I am. However, if you are ever fortunate to find yourself in the Air Canada lounge in LAX which EI uses, not only do they have Guinness on tap, you get to pull the pints yourself. I had a couple recently and they were fab. Best Guinness I ever tasted in the US.

They never used to in J on TATL so unless its changed recently maybe not. Someone who has recently flown TATL should be able to 100% advise.

It's not really draught beer. And I am not sure they even still do this gimmick.

I'd never thought about it before but I'm surprised they don't even serve Guinness in cans.

Maybe only the 500ml cans are available and Guinness don't do the 330ml ones normally served on planes.

330mL cans of Guinness are available in some overseas markets.

On my last flight only Heineken or Magners. Plus Champagne and usual spirits. No Guinness.

Robust Guinness drinking can lead to 'emissions issues', so maybe it is a good thing they do not serve Guinness on-board

Perhaps they should also stop it in the airports, pre-flight, eh?

Which is where most of the "robust" drinking occurs, anyway!

Still the same (Heineken and Magners, no Guinness). A real missed opportunity and shocking lack of judgment from Aer Lingus' management in my view.
