COOKING TIPS

In the kitchen.

1Use as a braising liquid for meats like beef or lamb to tenderize them and create a rich, deeply flavored gravy.
2Incorporate into chocolate cake or brownie batter to enhance the chocolate flavor and add moisture.
3Add to batter for fried fish or onion rings to create a light, crispy, and flavorful crust.
4Reduce it on the stove to create a syrupy glaze for roasted meats or vegetables.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh.

Store cans and bottles upright in a cool, dark place (ideally 45-55°F or 7-13°C) to prevent oxidation and preserve flavor.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or fluorescent light, which can cause the beer to become 'skunked' and develop off-flavors.
Once opened, consume immediately to enjoy its characteristic creamy head and nitrogenated texture.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How many calories and carbs are in Guinness?

Guinness Draught contains approximately 35 calories and 3 grams of carbohydrates per 100ml. A standard pint (568ml) would therefore contain about 199 calories and 17 grams of carbohydrates. It is relatively lower in calories than many other stouts and lagers.

Is Guinness vegan?

Historically, Guinness used isinglass (a fish-derived product) in its filtration process, making it not vegan. However, since 2017, Guinness has transitioned to a new filtration system that does not use animal products, making Guinness Draught and many other variants suitable for vegans. Always check the specific product label.

What does Guinness stout taste like?

Guinness stout has a distinctive creamy, smooth taste with notes of roasted barley, coffee, and chocolate. It has a slightly bitter finish and a characteristic velvety texture, often described as less heavy than its dark appearance might suggest.

Can Guinness be used in cooking?

Yes, Guinness is an excellent ingredient for cooking, particularly in savory dishes. Its rich, malty, and slightly bitter notes add depth to stews, marinades, gravies, and even baked goods like chocolate cakes or breads. It pairs especially well with beef and chocolate.

How should Guinness be stored?

Guinness, like most beers, should be stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations. For optimal taste, it's best stored upright. Refrigeration is suitable for cans and bottles, especially if you plan to drink them chilled.

What is the best way to serve Guinness?

Guinness Draught is traditionally served 'the perfect pint' way: poured slowly at a 45-degree angle into a branded pint glass, allowed to settle, and then topped up to create its iconic creamy head. It should be served chilled, ideally between 6-7°C (43-45°F).
