A bottle of Guinness Bi-Centenary stout at the storehouseat St. James Gate. They keep all the bottles in a glass
case ensuring than any pictures will be crap.
Guinness has announced today that they will be unleashing a limited 250th Anniversary Stout in the United States. From the write ups I cannot tell what to make of this new stout. MSNBC has a convenient comparison between Guinness Draught and the Anniversary Stout. (The date section for plain draught provides amusement. "Sometime after 1799.") There are reasons for optimism and cynicism. My inner optimist's and cynic's dialogue whilst reading the article:
Optimist: A stronger, maltier stout sounds encouraging.
Cynic: Hardly Foreign Extra Stout though.
Optimist: At least its not nitrogenated.
Cynic: But carbonated for more refreshment and zing!
Optimist: No two part pour, that should be refreshing.
Cynic: Don't forget the "double brew stream that combines two types of malts, ale and stout."
Cynic: Oh, oh it also has "triple hops" just like Miller Lite!
