Guiness beer is a very popular dry stout beer and was developed in Ireland in the Arthur Guinness brewery. Guiness beer is popular all over the world and well known because of its distinctive flavor. This flavor is created by the use of unfermented roasted barley. Guiness beer is made from water, hobs, brewers yeast, barley and barley malt. Guiness beer is pasteurized and filtered. In spite of the full and creamy flavor of the foam, Guiness beer contains only 198 kcal per pint and that is less than a pint of orange juice and skimmed milk.

While brewing, thaw the sour stout & heat it to 180-190 F for 20 min.
Mash-in at 155F, hold for 1 hour, boil 1 hour & 15 minutes.
