The Guinness 200th Anniversary Export Stout is brewed with black patent malt.
In 1817, we shipped our first beer to America — 8 hogsheads of porter (approximately 432 gallons) were placed in the hold of a ship from Dublin to South Carolina. To celebrate our 200th year in America, we decided to brew a limited batch of a special beer using the black patent malt that was just becoming available in 1817, and inspired by entries from our breweing logs that year. The result is our 200th Anniversary Export Stout: a deep, dark export stout with a tan, frothy head and smooth, bottomless character.
