Roger -- what a concept!  Where are you? Nowhere near Alexandria, VA, I bet
-- curses!  We have an Italian restaurant here which regularly holds 'opera
evenings' with semi-pro performers -- which would be great if the food and
wine were up to par.  Maybe this idea is the next 'fad' in the
rapidly-failing micro-brewery industry here!

I agree about Guinness here in the US, by the way.  I understand it's
mostly brewed in Canada and draught (draft) Guinness across the States has
been Guinness' greatest marketing success -- ever!  And I have the slipped
chest to prove it!!!
