For those who dont know yet... New guiness beer

[hoss]

In case you havent heard, there is going to be an anniversary offering by Guiness released this month, and will only be available for about 6 months or so... This is the first time Guiness has brought a new offering to the US since the 1960's and is celebrating their 250th anniversary and the 9,000 year lease that Arthur guiness signed for their flagship brewery :laugh:

Guinness to offer new stout for limited time
Brew will be maltier, fizzier, and not require two-part pouring process

Diageo PLC via AP Guinness 250 Anniversary Stout celebrates Arthur Guinness' signing of a 9,000-year lease in 1759 at St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin
updated 4:52 p.m. ET, Tues., April 7, 2009
MILWAUKEE - The makers of Guinness are touting a new stout beer in the U.S., a maltier, fizzier version of its older, creamier sibling, the world's best-selling stout.

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

The limited-edition Guinness 250 Anniversary Stout celebrates Arthur Guinness' signing of a 9,000-year lease in 1759 at St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin, still the company's flagship brewery.

When it arrives in U.S. bars and stores April 24, the anniversary brew will be the first new stout Guinness has exported to the U.S. since it brought over Guinness Draught in the mid 1960s.

Guinness Draught, first brewed after Arthur Guinness decided to stop making ales and start making porters in 1779, became synonymous with Ireland over the centuries. More than 1.8 billion pints are consumed in 150 countries each year.

The anniversary stout will be available only in the U.S., Australia and Singapore, according to Diageo PLC, owner of Guinness and the world's largest liquor producer. The company's other brands include Johnnie Walker and Baileys.

The beer is expected to be available for about six months, said Patrick Hughes, brand director for Diageo Guinness USA. A big marketing campaign, complete with advertisements and promotions at bars, launches late this month.

Drink up
Here's a look at Guinness' new brew, Guinness 250 Anniversary Draught, and its elder sibling, Guinness Draught:

Guinness 250 Anniversary Draught
Alcohol: 5 percent by volume
Calories: 136.3 per 11.2 ounces
Brewing: Made with a double brew stream that combines two types of malts, ale and stout. Carbonated. Uses Guinness yeast, triple hops and roasted barley.
Pour: A one-part pour, at an angle.
Date: Launches in the U.S. April 24, in Australia and Singapore later.

Guinness Draught
Alcohol: 4.2 percent by volume
Calories: 126 per 12 ounces
Brewing: Roasted, malted barley, hops, yeast and water. The beer is nitrogenated, meaning that nitrogen and carbon dioxide combine to give it a thick, white head.
Pour: Two parts, where three-quarters of glass is filled at an angle, the pourer lets the surge of foam settle, then glass is topped off.
Date: First made some time after 1799, when Arthur Guinness decided to stop making ales and start making porters. Came to the U.S. in the mid-1960s.


"The brand is one of sort of strength, staying power and authenticity," Hughes said. "We think consumers are really going for brands with that strength and trusted authenticity."

They also want something new to taste, which this new beer delivers with carbonation, two types of malt and triple hops, Murray said.

Drinkers like to sit back and enjoy the flavor of Guinness Draught, he said, while the anniversary stout uses carbonation, rather than a combination of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, which is used by Guinness Draught. The result? More zing.

The taste is different, too, although it retains the rich flavor of Guinness Draught. Guinness 250 Anniversary Stout also has more alcohol, at about 5 percent by volume, compared with 4.2 percent for Guinness Draught.

Pouring will be simpler, too. This anniversary stout is poured only one way, at an angle, in contrast to Guinness Draught's famous two-part process, which involves filling the glass about three-fourths of the way at an angle, letting the surge of foam settle, then pouring the rest.

The anniversary comes in a rocky year for Diageo. As the global recession deepens and consumer confidence remains low, the London-based company has been cutting costs and shedding jobs to protect its profits.

In January, it said it may change or abandon $1.1 billion plans to reform production in Ireland and open a new state-of-the-art brewery.

Guinness accounts for about 70 percent of stout volume in the U.S., dominating a category that makes up less than 1 percent of total U.S. beer volume, according to research firm Nielsen Co.

Guinness sales volume slipped about 3.9 percent in the U.S. in the 52-week period that ended March 7, according to Nielsen, while dollar sales fell 1.7 percent to $127.2 million in food, drug, liquor and convenience stores.

Nick Lake, vice president of beverage alcohol for Nielsen, said the introduction of the new beer "has the making of a very successful initiative," citing the brand's heritage and a trend of U.S. consumers increasingly wanting fuller, tastier beers like stouts. Lake also said consumers want more variety, and brewers are providing more seasonal and limited-release beers in response. The category was up 27.6 percent in sales volume in the latest 52-week period.

[Spider Monkey]

In for this.

[hoss]

Me too. I are assited.

[Spider Monkey]

Lemme know when it hits the shelves.

[IamDeMan]

I'll try it but I like my creamy old Guinness.

[icpurplepplalot]

I'll try it but I like my creamy old Guinness.

Agreed, not sure how I'll like a "fizzy" Guinness.

[hoss]

It says that it retains the same flavor, just easier to drink. I am guessing a little lighter texture. 10 days and we can find out.

[UCP]

Guinness is too bland. I'll give it a try.

[conversehtnut]

i gotta try this once it comes out

[fanninator]

i think ill stick with coors light. neat that they aint like other beers and leave it the same, how they kinda "mix it up" i guess you could say

[bluecar]

Not really a fan, but I will buy a sixxer because I <3 gimmicks

[wasted ink]

i think ill stick with coors light. neat that they aint like other beers and leave it the same, how they kinda "mix it up" i guess you could say

Mix it up? different? Guiness is what beer is supposed to taste like, d00d.

GTFO of the Guiness thread, you piss-drinking fuck.



Hoss - Thanks for the info. I'm assited as well. We'll have to do a full CT review on this.

[hoss]

i think ill stick with coors light. neat that they aint like other beers and leave it the same, how they kinda "mix it up" i guess you could say

You are right, the Coor's brewing company doesnt like to experiment with anything new, just straight up beer and never change it.

They cerntainly would never go out on a limb and try something new like Blue Moon, Zima, Killians irish red, the entire keystone line including ice, Coors Malted milk, Coors red, Coors gold lite, Coors dry, Coors arctic ice...

All of these are Coors beer :fyi: . They are no different than any other american brewery, this is the first time that Guiness has brought a new flavor to the US in about 40 years. So try this argument again.

[Uncle Rico]

Never had a Guinness

[hoss]

You should, they are delicious.

[ngsm13]

Orly?

nG

[Spider Monkey]

You should, they are delicious.

Bdawz can't hold his liquor. Even a single beer.

[hoss]

Then I shall edit.

[hoss]

Dammit, I cant edit. This forum blows.

[Spider Monkey]

What do you mean you can't edit?

[hoss]

What do you mean you can't edit?

I mean I can't edit? You see, the word "can't" is a contraction of the words "can" and "not", and the word edit is defined by wikipedia as "to change the text of a document" My post following bdawsons would be the document in this case, so this should have read as:

I can not change the text of my post which followed bdawsons post in which you were refering to.

[Spider Monkey]

You have to click the button that says EDIT before you can change the text.

[hoss]

That button not existing makes it difficult.

You only have xx amount of time to edit your post.

[Spider Monkey]

That button not existing makes it difficult.

You only have xx amount of time to edit your post.

Oh, that must be some new shit.

[hoss]

I dont think it is.

[Spider Monkey]

Lets stop thinking and get back to the beer.

[hoss]

Brilliant!!

[Spider Monkey]

BEER IN A BOTTLE!

[Spider Monkey]

Fuck that, I wear mine all the times. Never know when you will need a beer opened...

I have a lighter that I use for every day purposes.

[hoss]

I also have an opener on my key chain. But that is hardly as awesome as opening with your shoes.

[hoss]

In the case that I need to be extremely awesome, I open beers with my penis ring.

[Spider Monkey]

That is a little two awesome for me.

[hoss]

It is too awesome for most people. Last time I had to do that three people ended up in the hospital due to unrelated events.

[Spider Monkey]

Car accident, fall off the roof, and get shot?

[hoss]

They accidentally fell off the roof of the car because they were shot.

[Spider Monkey]

All three?

Must have been navy seal snipers. That would take good headshots.

[hoss]

Dont question it, I dont even like to talk about it... Can we change the subject?

[Spider Monkey]

[hoss]

Imma go get the beer.

[Spider Monkey]

My review..............



Okay, so I did not go out of my way to figure out that it was not available in my area yet THREE TIMES like DeMan, but like any self respecting drunk, I did buy some of the OG Guiness to promote the anniversary.

First, I started with a bottle of the brew, brews.

http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo357/Shmobino/IMG_0769.jpg

Then I put my feets on the table. Yea, that is right. With feets this epic, they are allowed on the table.

http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo357/Shmobino/IMG_0770.jpg

But WAIT there is more! These feets have a bottle opener built into them!

http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo357/Shmobino/IMG_0771.jpg

Apply feets-beer-bottle-opener, open and consume.

WIN!

http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo357/Shmobino/IMG_0772.jpg


Excellent. A+ brew


This new brew better show up next week so I can consume. God dammit.

[Pop Da Hatch]

nice table and chairs. I can dig it.

[Spider Monkey]

nice table and chairs. I can dig it.

The chairs are leet. That as you see it as a table is actually the table cover. When off, it is made of the same wood.


I keep that shit on there so fegs don't fuck up the actual table. Shit came fro Thailand yo. I don't want to have to replace it. lel

[Spider Monkey]

This is more about the shoes than the table though. :laugh:

[IamDeMan]

The chairs are bitching but god damn I need me them sandals.


Draught is better in the cans :fyi:

[IamDeMan]

You have a gay security barrier around the pool too. :fyi:

[Spider Monkey]

The chairs are bitching but god damn I need me them sandals.


Draught is better in the cans :fyi:

Sowee. Could not pull off this pictorial without bottles.

You have a gay security barrier around the pool too. :fyi:

I nose but it came with the house. I had it all pulled out last weekend, but put it back last night because we are in some thunderstorm shit right now that fags in the mid west sent us. Trust me, when the pool is being used, that gay shit is removed.

[IamDeMan]

ghey

[Spider Monkey]

ghey

I nose. NOW STOP POSTING so I can go downstairs and fire up the Wii.

[bluecar]

I don't own a kitchen table or chairs. Nor did I go attempt to find that beer.

[Spider Monkey]

I don't own a kitchen table or chairs. Nor did I go attempt to find that beer.

That is okay. All of that stuff came from Thailand. I don't expect you to go there tomorrow and get some.

[bluecar]

Oh, is that a ninja on the chair

[Spider Monkey]

Pretty close. It is a Warrior, but not a ninja. Ninjas are from another country.

[bluecar]

They all look alike to me.

[Spider Monkey]

They all look alike to me.

Culture. Get some.

[Spider Monkey]

Just gotta pick one and BAM! Your house is a home.

[bluecar]

They same they same about me.

Just gotta pick one and BAM! Your house is a home.

Pick one what? Culture?

Nah.

[Spider Monkey]

Pick one what? Culture?

Nah.

See. That is the Mid-West in you.

Mines:

[hoss]

I used to own these too, but they sucked...

[hoss]

Those also opened beers... And they held liqour :fyi:

[hoss]

BTW, new guiness is meh. It is GREAT for the summer, much easier to drink, a little bit lighter (I know that sounds impossible...), not as creamy, but same taste. All in all, not bad by any means, but I was way more excited about it and it didnt live up to my expectations.

In the end though, would I buy it again? Definitly, was it as hyped as I made it out to be, no. Still a great beer, but doesnt overshadow the original. But it is a perfect darkie for the summer.

[hoss]

Yes I said that, someone say I am racism, go ahead.

[Spider Monkey]

So do mines, and they arent boring white they are plaid and shit.
Boring white?!??!?!?!? That is Lambo white off the hook white.
