That may be true today, but was not always true. "Foreign Extra Stout" also known as "Tropical Stout" was a mainstay of thirsty ex-pats in tropical climes. Originally it was exported from the UK at a hefty proof to survive the journey, but it was eventually made in the home countries themselves. A few examples: Dragon Stout from Jamaica Strong Back Stout from the Bahamas Stallion Stout from Barbados Royal Extra Stout from Trinidad Also Guiness Foreign Extra, which is brewed in multiple places in the Carribean. Not sure if it's tiki, but it's definitely part of the larger tropical drink culture. [ Edited by: mbanu 2012-07-31 23:38 ]
