The story of Guinness 6x440ml Cans

Guinness began at St James's Gate in Dublin, where on 31 December 1759 Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000 year lease on an unused brewery at 45 pounds a year. The harp first appeared on a Guinness bottle label in 1862.

Draught Guinness is made from water, malted barley, roasted barley, hops and yeast, and it is the roasted barley that gives the beer its dark colour and its flavour. Guinness began using nitrogen for its draught beer in 1959, which creates smaller bubbles and a creamier texture than carbon dioxide. In the can, nitrogen is held in the widget, a small plastic ball that releases it when the can is opened, which is the hiss and surge you hear.

These cans are 4.2 per cent. The beer pours dark ruby red with a creamy head, with roasted coffee and chocolate on the nose and a balance of bitter, sweet and roasted flavours.

Pour it into a clean glass tilted at 45 degrees, slowly down the side, bringing the glass upright as it fills. Let the surge settle before you finish the pour.
