The makers at Guinness have created a new stout beer that is supposed to be maltier and fizzier than its previous version.  The new stout will use carbonation, as well as two types of malt, and triple hops. The resulting beer is intended to have a more refreshing taste and a simpler pouring process.

“This is more about refreshment and zing,” said Guinness master brewer Fergal Murray, who created the new carbonated brew.”

This limited-edition Guinness will be launched on April 24th, to celebrate its 250th Anniversary Stout, which will be available in bars and stores in the US, Australia, and Singapore.  
This is to celebrate how Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease in 1759 at St. James’s Gate Brewery in Dublin, where the company’s flagship brewery is still located. 

The beer is expected to be available for about six months, said Patrick Hughes, brand director for Diageo Guinness USA. 

The taste of the new stout is said to be different as well, it will still contain its rich flavor but will have more alcohol, about 5 percent by volume, compared with 4.2 percent for Guinness Draught.

At last this stout will be able to be poured directly into your glass, unlike the Guinness Drought which takes a two-part process, in which you fill the glass about three-fourths of the way at an angle, letting the surge of foam settle, then pouring the rest.

So for all of you that are Guinness fans, stock up while you can…. this beer will only be available April 24 for six months.
