Adventures in Brewing: Stout, SOS and Bass


Once upon a time, Guinness made a delicious brew called Foreign Extra Stout. It was discontinued during Prohibition, but now after several decades it’s back and in our stores now. Come try the beer that Beer Advocate gave an A! More than two centuries ago, the legendary Arthur Guinness created the world’s most famous Stout. Based on the original Guinness recipe, FES was first brewed in 1801 to allow export overseas. Extra hops were added to act as a natural preservative, and also gave the beer a more intense flavor and higher alcohol content. Since then, more than a million barrels of FES have been brewed worldwide. Now in 2010, FES is re-introduced in the United States for the first time since Prohibition!
