LOYAL GUINNESS drinkers have often complained that the black stuff doesn’t travel well across the Atlantic.
Now manufacturers Diageo look set to prove them right with the creation of a fizzier, stronger, single-pour version of the brew being launched on the US market.
The limited edition beer, created to celebrate the 250th anniversary of St James’s Gate Brewery in Dublin, is the first new Guinness stout to be introduced to the US since the original draught was first exported there more than 40 years ago.
“This is more about refreshment and zing,” said Guinness master brewer Fergal Murray who created the new carbonated stout. “The stout has a different look and taste than anything our fans have ever experienced, but still retains the familiar character,” he said.
