All kegs of Guinness come straight from the St. James Gate Brewery to the US. The Draught Stout and Extra Stout are contract brewed for North America in InBev's Labatt Breweries. InBev and AB are fierce competitors in trying to control the world's beer market, (2 and 1 respectively), so I hardly doubt there is collusion between these two giants of the beer world.
Then I was lied to by a Guinness rep at the St. Jame's Gate (corp. owned) pub & restaurant in Banff, AB.

However, if they are such competitors, why does Guinness (Ireland) and Labatts (Canada) brew and market AB products in their respective market? Part of the deal actually includes an 8% AB buy-in (softball terms) of Labatts.
