TORONTO, /CNW/ – Guinness invites Canadians to celebrate the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day with its most diverse portfolio yet. Guinness is proud to offer an inclusive array of options that capture the essence of Irish craftsmanship, including the iconic Guinness Draught, Guinness Nitro Cold Brew, Guinness Extra Stout, and its latest innovation, Guinness 0 Non-Alcoholic Draught, which is now available in grocery stores nationally.
Guinness is committed to innovation and pushing boundaries while staying true to its unique flavour. At its core, Guinness is brewed using four natural ingredients – water, barley (malted & roasted), hops, and yeast, solidifying its status as the world’s most popular stout.
Brewed for more than two centuries and sold in more than 120 countries, Guinness has become synonymous with St. Patrick’s Day celebrations thanks to its deep Irish roots. This year, Guinness invites consumers 19+ to raise a glass to St. Patrick’s Day with our versatile lineup of brews:
- Guinness Draught Stout: The classic Guinness is smoothly balanced with bitter, sweet and roasted notes. It’s famous for its dark colour with a creamy head.
- Guinness 0 Non-Alcoholic Draught: Offers a non-alcoholic option for those seeking a taste similar to that of Guinness without the alcohol, which is gently removed through an innovative cold filtration method.
- Guinness Nitro Cold Brew Coffee Beer: Made for the beer and coffee lover. Flavourful notes of coffee, chocolate and caramel make for a delicious yet refreshingly sweet taste.
- Guinness Extra Stout: Based on a beer first brewed in 1821 with extra hops for preservation during lengthy sea voyages, our recipe resulted in a full flavoured, bold beer.
As we toast to the occasion, here are some fun facts about Guinness:
- Held at a 45-degree angle, it takes precisely 119.5 seconds to pour the perfect pint of Guinness.
- The iconic dark colour of Guinness is actually a rich shade of ruby red, derived from roasted barley.
- The distinctive “widgets” found in Guinness cans, filled with nitrogen, replicate the same pour as a draught pint, ensuring a consistent drinking experience. In a 2004 UK poll of the best inventions of the past 40 years, the widget came in as #1, with the Internet at #2.
- A traditional culinary combination often enjoyed by guests at the St. James’s Gate Brewery in Ireland is the pairing of Guinness with beef and oysters.
Guinness is available where beer and non-alcoholic beer options are sold nation-wide. Please enjoy responsibly. Sláinte!
