The locally brewed portion ensures freshness, while the Irish component guarantees that the character associated with Guinness can consistently be a part of Foreign Extra Stout regardless of where it’s brewed. For the West Indian Guinness drinker, there is a sense of being part of a global Guinness community since the same barley roasted at the original Dublin brewery is also used in Caribbean brewed Guinness as well as the Guinness sold in Lagos, London, and local pubs all across Ireland. Today, Guinness in the Caribbean is still made via this method and Guinness Foreign Extra is now an important part of West Indian culture. It’s the subject of songs, the secret ingredient in stews, and bottle sales remain steady.

A sweet aroma will probably be the first thing noticed and should range from medium to high intensity. Roasted notes with possible coffee or chocolate whispers will be moderate to high. There will be little hop aroma present, if at all. Medium to high fruity aroma along with possible notes of molasses, dried fruit, and/or licorice. Some vinous aromatics are likely with stronger versions exuding stronger yet subtle notes of alcohol. Diacetyl should be low to none. Mouthfeel: But for true Guinness fans like Hayden, the love for Guinness goes beyond just drinking pints. Guinness Fans Don’t Just Drink Beer Photography courtesy of Guinness Regardless of how people express their love for this beer, Guinness has become one of the most iconic beer brands on Earth.As the tale goes, Sir Hugh Beaver, Managing Director of the Guinness brewery at the time, went out on a hunting trip with his buddies. While out shooting animals, he got into an argument with his friends about the fastest game bird. Without reaching a conclusion, Sir Beaver returned to the brewery, grabbed a few interns, and told them to figure it out along with a bunch of other facts and figures. This also means that when you open a can of Guinness Draught Stout at home, you have to pour all of it out immediately. “Once you lose that initial rush from the can being opened, you can’t recreate it,” says Wagner. In fact, according to Wagner, Foreign Extra Stout is the number one selling beer in Guinness’ portfolio.

We guarantee that by the time you finish reading this, you’ll have learned something new about one of the most revered and recognizable pints in the history of beer. There May Not Have Been a Guinness…Without an Archbishop Photography courtesy of Guinness At the end of the day, whether you’re in Dublin, Baltimore, or even Boston, it’s still a pint of Guinness. From the time that the company started using the harp logo well into the next decade, Guinness would be engaged in the arduous task of building a global brand identity while also consolidating their bottling operation and modernizing brewing methods. For the first of these tasks, they would deploy brand ambassadors known as travelers to build awareness and report to brewery management about developing beer trends. In 1900, one of these travelers identified what he referred to as Colonial Stout in Australia, a sweeter more affordable alternative to Guinness that was locally brewed. Another reported that stout was the most popular beer in South Africa by a wide margin, but that Colonial Stout had the largest share of the market. Colonial Stout in the Caribbean Guinness™ Dublin Porter – Originally created in 1796 during a time when porters were all the rage in London, Guinness brewed up its own Irish version of the style at St. James’s Gate and shipped to England. While the porter originated in London, the Guinness brewer’s Irish take on the style proved quite popular with its earthy and lively flavor. Today, the Dublin Porter delivers a sweet, smooth beer with dark caramel and hoppy aroma notes with a burnt biscuit finish for a beer reminiscent of a different time — when after a hard day’s work, you’d visit your local haunt for a porter, the “working man’s beer,” and Guinness would have been the respected choice. (3.8% Alc/Vol)First and foremost, that two-part ritual is iconically and uniquely Guinness. Plus, the beer just looks so much different than most other beers. “If you’re sitting at a bar and someone has a pint of Guinness Draught Stout in front of them, you normally know it like that,” says Wagner, as he snaps his fingers. No one has been clear with me whether that means he was a good harp player or a bad harp player,” jokes Wagner. Almost all modern renditions of this style, especially those brewed in the Caribbean, use lager yeast fermented at a warmer temperature. But, this doesn’t mean that ale yeast is off the table. One of the main reasons many Caribbean brewers use lager yeast is because they brew mostly lagers. I would argue a perfectly good tropical stout can be had with ale yeast, though the lager yeast and lagering time can contribute to the beers smoothness. Local folks loved the beer enough that by 1799 Arthur Guinness II, the son of Arthur Guinness, stopped brewing ales altogether to hone in on his stout recipe.

Wagner doesn’t have a problem with that at all, but he wants to make it clear that there are incredible pubs all across the U.S. and the world that pour wonderful pints of Guinness Draught Stout. Medium sweetness with notes of roasted chocolate or coffee. Little hoppy aromas with medium to high fruitiness. Subtle notes of alcohol. Minimal diactyl. With a robust lineage and so many rich stories, it’s easy to see why this cherished beer has left its own trademark on history, cultivating a cult-like following over the years. As Guinness approached their bicentennial anniversary, they were the biggest brewery in the world, they successfully released a book, and perhaps even more remarkable; they were still family-owned. Other great achievements were yet to come, and some of them were already in development. Guinness in the 1960s It’s an ingeniously simple innovation. One that folks in Ireland have recognized time and again. In fact, in the early aughts, an Irish magazine published a survey for readers asking them questions about the previous hundred years, including: What was the most important invention of the twentieth century?These adaptations often included some indigenous grain source because barely was hard to come by. In Nigeria, sorghum, maize, and wheat are used to replace all or some part of the barley grain bill. Being in parts of the world known for sugar production, local adjunct sugars where frequently used to bolster gravity or give added complexity to the beer.

If you have any question about how folks feel about getting their Guinness Draught Stout at home, that answers that question,” says Wagner.Smooth roasted and dark grain flavors range from medium to high and intermingle with noticeable sweetness. The roasted malt character can present in the medium to high range, though balanced by the sweetness, and often carries undertones of silky chocolate or coffee. Fruity esters are medium to high and can give the beer a dark rum-like character. Hop flavor is low, if present at all. Finish is on the sweet side. Diacetyl can be moderately low to none. Food Pairings: In 1959, Guinness celebrated its bicentennial, releasing Guinness Draught Stout for the first time. Six years later the beer first arrived in the United States. In Ireland, on the other hand, where there is no three-tier system, Guinness can be directly involved, helping bars with the maintenance, construction, cleaning, temperature adjustments, and all the things that would affect the beer. These two beers dominated Guinness’ world for a long time—all through the nineteenth century, in fact. There is an incredible sense of ownership people have around the world for Guinness,” says Wagner. “It is always an Irish beer and it will always be an Irish beer, but whether you’re in Africa, Malaysia, or the Caribbean, there is a sense of ownership and pride when people talk about Guinness.”
