Guinness Foreign Extra Stout may be available in the U.S. next year. You'll be able to get it in two U.S. cities beginning next month.

Parent company Diageo has decided to test market that beer in New York City and Atlanta beginning in September. No word on when they'll make a decision about whether on not to offer the beer nationwide, but I wouldn't expect to see it outside those areas before 2011, probably the second quarter of next year at the earliest.

I was about to fly to NYC for a couple of 6 packs and called Diageo to confirm this was true. Unfortunately, a rep said they are not testing it.

....... Never was a big fan of it, prefer Guinness Draught. My cousins in Kenya tend to mix it with a cola!
