Guinness
Pick Draught if you want the creamy, pub-style pour: the widget in each can releases nitrogen when you open it, so pour it hard into a glass and let it settle. Pick Extra Stout for a sharper, more roasted beer with more bite. Guinness Draught 0.0 keeps the same look and roasted flavor with less than 0.5% ABV. We also list stronger and seasonal releases such as Foreign Extra Stout (7.5% ABV), Nitro Cold Brew and Open Gate Brewery specials when available.
