Guinness foreign extra

One thing I like most about traveling is getting to try things that you can't get at home. When I travel, I really enjoy sampling the local beer (even though one guy I talked to said he doesn't drink the local beer because it's made with local water!).

We just got back from a trip that included a cruise to the Dutch/French island of St. Maarten. After touring the French side of the island and spending a few hours at the beach, we stopped in a little convenience store at the cruise port. In the back, the shop was selling cold beer for $2 a bottle. They had all the typical beers, but I also spotted something that I've been wanting to try for years - Guinness Foreign Extra!
