Guinness, Foreign Extra Stout
Arthur Guinness took his time in getting round to brewing stout, but when he did it, it was worth the wait. He took a business gamble when he decided to focus exclusively on brewing stout but his determination and conviction paid off.
GUINNESS Foreign Extra Stout has a deep, rich and powerful taste and has the highest alcohol content of all GUINNESS beers.
It was originally brewed in Dublin and first exported in 1802 when beer was brewed to a higher alcoholic strength to survive long journeys by sea (at least that's what they used to claim!). Since 1962 it has been brewed throughout Asia, Africa and the Caribbean where it is the GUINNESS beer of choice and has become an important part of local culture. In fact Foreign Extra Stout now accounts for 40% of GUINNESS sold throughout the world.
Next time you're enjoying a drop of Guinness, raise your glass to the man himself.
