Branch out and dry a delightful dark beer say draft fans. Guinness is a mild but flavorful beer with hints of coffee, chocolate and molassas. "I could drink this all night," says a self proclaimed beer snob. While it's not a complex, robust dark, Guinness is a taste of the old country with a nice head and a nice flavor. It's a wonderful introduction to the world of draught beverages.

Crítica:

Guinness obviously gets a 9, because it rules, and it obviously only gets a 9 because it is not as good as Belgian trappist beer, which is the best beer in the universe. I was recently in Montreal, and after visiting the no-load waste-of-time excuse for a casino there, I went to an Irish pub, where I proceeded to put down about 4 Guinness a night each night for the rest of the week (thanks to the United Nations, that complete waste of time and money, for sponsoring). The bartender's name is Tim, for anyone who actually goes there. Note that the guy who ripped on the beer misspelled "Guinness." And lumberjacks are awesome.

OK, so this rich, dark brown, and somewhat heavy and syrupy tasting brew is not my first choice for a hot afternoon of yard work. It is somewhat heavy, but I have found a fabulous use for Guinness stout, and there is at least one bottle as a staple in my pantry at all times. (fortunately I have a liquor store that allows you to sample imported brews one or two bottles at a time) Oh yeah, and hopefully folks are aware that alot of the Guiness we purchase in the US is actually brewed and bottled in Canada, and is not exactly the same in taste or texture as that which is actually brewed and imported from Ireland-something to be said for tradition and old casks as opposed to modern and sanitary brewing techniques) Anyway, take your favorite beef barley soup recipe, or your favorite beef stew recipe, or even your favorite pot roast recipe, and about an hour before this is ready to serve, top the stew pot or roaster with 1/2 liter of the Guiness stout and let if finish cooking....This will yeild the absolute richest gravy or soup broth you have ever tasted....It also works really well for French Onion soup (but I am still partial to using the full cup of brandy in French Onion-as Brandy is more french) I don't ever have to drink this stuff to appreciate it....Soak your bratwurst in it before grilling (The Germans invented beer brats, but using Guiness kind of perfects the whole thing) This is one beer that I don't drink, but I don't live without. Go Figure?!

História: Arthur Guinness started brewing ales from 1759 in Leixlip, then at the St. James's Gate Brewery, Dublin, Ireland. On 31 December he signed (up to) a 9,000 year lease at £45 per annum for the unused brewery. Ten years later on 19 May 1769 Guinness exported his ale for the first time, when six and a half barrels were shipped to England.

Guinness is sometimes believed to have originated the stout style of beer. However the first use of the word stout in relation to beer was in a letter in the Egerton Manuscript dated 1677, almost 50 years before Arthur Guinness was born. Arthur Guinness started selling the dark beer porter in 1778. The first Guinness beers to use the term were Single Stout and Double Stout in the 1840s.
