Guinness Embracing The Craft Revolution
Guinness taps into the craft beer market with two new options.
Guinness, who is known for its iconic stout, has decided to diversify with two new beers, hopping on the craft beer bandwagon.
According to TIME, the West Indies Porter and Dublin Porter are the two new additions and are part of the new project at Guinness’s St. James’s Gate brewery, which aims to bring a slew of new beers to the Guinness-loving market.
Dublin Porter, the company says, originated from a “1796 entry in Guinness brewers’ diaries” and tastes “sweet and smooth with malt and dark caramel notes,” while the slightly less dated West Indies Porter hails from an 1801 diary entry “for the first Guinness purposely brewed to maintain its freshness from one end of the world to another,” hinting at the mass production to come.
This announcement is just weeks after the company revealed its Blonde American Ale.
The new beers will only be hitting Ireland at the moment, but hopefully when they reach mass production they’ll make their way down to South African shores.
