Am I so out if it a missed the previous announcement and perhaps considerable discussion?<\/p>\nAm I so out if it a missed the previous announcement and perhaps considerable discussion?<\/p>\n
Last week Guinness launched its 250th Anniversary Stout in the United States. It’s a “new” stout and certainly is being poured in a new manner. The press release states, “This marks the first new stout offering in the U.S. from Guinness since 1966 \u2013 more than 40 years ago \u2013 when Guinness draught was first introduced to Americans.”<\/p>\n
In fact, the press release talks about dispense before what might have changed in the beer itself.<\/p>\n
The commemorative stout is carbonated, not nitrogenated like the traditional Guinness Draught. As a result, it has a near-white frothy stout beer head of larger bubble size than that of Guinness Draught, and is poured on draught in a one-part pour or gently from a bottle (as opposed to the two-part pour unique to Guinness draught). <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Just so you know, in the press release GUINNESS always appears in capital letters. Yell it from the rooftops.<\/em><\/p>\n
The press release also states the new stout “uses a unique brewhouse process. This process blends two malt types in a double ‘brew stream’ along with water from the Wicklow Hills, and of course as in all Guinness Stouts, roasted barley to create the deep rich color and enigmatic flavor.” <\/p>\n
I will also give you this verbatim because it would seem to indicate the beer undergoes longer fermentation than the non-anniversary stout: “The fermentation process for the Guinness 250 Anniversary Stout uses Guinness’ own yeast which has been extended to allow for more conversion of the natural sugars. The result is a more malty flavor profile.” <\/p>\n
“The Guinness 250 Anniversary Stout has a different look and taste than anything our fans have ever experienced,” Guinness brewer Fergal Murray says, “but still retains the familiar character for which Guinness is so well known.”<\/p>\n
I’m looking forward to seeing the results of some side-by-side blind tastings.<\/p>\n
