TASTES FOR DRINKS differ depending on what country you’re in, and it looks like Americans might refer a lighter twist on our treasured Guinness.
According to Business Week, a Blonde American Lager is to be launched by Diageo as part of its Discovery series next month.

The company has seen a decline in its US market share since 2006.
