Product Description
-------------------
A true icon, Guinness draught was created to celebrate Arthur
Guinness signing his 9,000 year lease. A fitting tribute, if
there ever was one, to over 2 centuries of trailblazing brewing.
The union of sweet malt, bitter hops and roasted barley gives
Guinness Draught its unique, characteristic flavour with hints of
coffee and chocolate aromas. Smooth. Creamy. Perfectly balanced
finish. Guinness brewers were the first to introduce the
combination of nitrogen and carbon dioxide to draught . The
result was Guinness Draught, famous for its smooth velvety
texture and unique surge and settle. Perfect with food. Or
without. Guinness Draught is the ideal accompaniment to good
friends and fun times.

About Guinness
--------------
Iconic and legendary, Guinness is best shared with others. Now
with the Surger, you can enjoy the same level of Guinness
perfection at home as what you would in your favourite local pub.
The Guinness Surger uses exactly the same Guinness as
dispensed from a keg, which is poured slowly into a Guinness
glass and placed on the Surger unit. The Surger activates the
es already in the , creating the same creamy head as
delivered by a draught dispense system.
History
-------
It all starts with just one man, but it’s not down to a single
‘eureka’ moment. The history of Guinness is a stirring tale of
inspiration, dedication, ingenuity and effort. It’s over two
centuries of sublime brewing craft, a remarkable knack for
spreading the work and more than a few leaps of faith. It’s the
story of how a unique Irish stout became, with a little magic,
one of the World’s best-loved s.
There’s a little bit of magic in every expertly crafted drop of
Guinness. There are six distinct features that make our
stand out from all the others. There’s our roasted barley, the
extra hops we use, our special yeast, our maturation process, the
famous creamy head and lastly the supremely skillful craft of our
brewers.
Four Key Ingredients
--------------------
Barley: We use malted barley, which provides the foundation for
the flavour of the , and roasted barley. Our traditional
craft of roasting barley gives Guinness its wonderful dark ruby
red colour (it looks black, but hold your glass up to the light,
and you'll see there's a ruby in every glass, as the old saying
has it) and its unique roasted character.
Hops: We use the finest female hop (we discriminate in favour of
the fairer sex), and use around double the a of hops in our
brew than most s, for a more intense flavour and aroma. Hops
are also a natural preservative, giving Guinness the long life
essential for global export.
Water: Like Arthur Guinness before us, we prize our water for
its purity and softness. In fact, it's so important to us, we
call it 'liquor'. At the St James's Gate Brewery in Dublin the
water comes from springs in the Wicklow ains (which are also
known as St James's Wells).
Guinness Yeast: To capture the full freshness of the
ingredients, we use our famous strain of Guinness yeast,
descended down from Arthur's time. It works like no other to
ensure our is fully fermented and charged with flavour. It's
so valuable to us that a small reserve a is kept under lock
and key in case something should happen to our main supply.
We don't believe anything should be wasted, so the spent grains
from the brewing process become animal feed, the hops become
fertilizer and surplus yeast makes yeast extract or
products.
Taste and Suggested Serve
-------------------------
Swirling clouds tumble as the storm begins to calm. Settle.
Breathe in the moment, then break through the smooth, light head
to the bittersweet reward. Unmistakably Guinness, from the first
velvet sip to the last, lingering drop. And every deep-dark
satisfying mouthful in between. Pure beauty. Pure Guinness.
Serve chilled, start by pouring cold Guinness Draught into
glass, then apply a droplet of water to Surger plate. Place glass
on Surger plate, then finally press the button and watch it
settle.
and Food
-------------
While the glistening of a freshly settled pint of Guinness
Draught is enough to get your mouth watering, great Irish dishes
like beef and Guinness stew with freshly made champ are enough to
melt your heart. Guinness has been a part of Irish cooking for
generations and when we weren't deciding what's best cooked in
it, we were deciding what's best eaten with it. These secrets are
still alive today in pubs and restaurants all over Ireland.
Guinness intensifies flavour, adds depth, enhances texture and
when it boils down to it, just tastes great. From a hearty Beef
and Guinness Stew to seafood dishes that include Guinness with
Lobster and soup and side dishes, Guinness can really enhance
your cooking. So pour yourself a cool can of Guinness Draught and
enjoy these really fine recipes.
