Guinness Draught Beer Can 4 X 440ml Guinness
Four Guinness Draught cans with the widget for a creamy pour
Single Guinness Draught 440ml can, dark Irish stout
Guinness Draught stout 4-pack of 440ml cans

Pubs have spent decades trying to replicate that cascading pour Guinness is famous for, and the trick lives inside each can: a small nitrogenating widget that recreates the same velvety, tightly-packed head you'd expect from a proper draught pour at the bar. Sweetness from the malt meets bitterness from the hops, with roasted barley running underneath the whole thing, giving Guinness its unmistakable dark colour and dry, distinctive finish that's carried the brand's reputation for over two centuries.

    FAQs

    How does the widget inside the can work?

    A small nitrogenating device activates when the can is opened, releasing nitrogen bubbles that recreate the smooth, creamy head associated with a traditional draught pour at the bar.

    Why does Guinness taste different from a standard lager?

    Its combination of roasted barley, malt sweetness and hop bitterness creates a distinctly dry, coffee-toned flavour profile, quite different from the lighter, crisper character of lager.

    What is the correct way to pour Guinness from the can?

    Pour slowly at an angle to build the head, then pause before topping up straight down the middle, replicating the two-part pour technique used in pubs.

    What foods pair well with Guinness Draught?

    Its roasted, malty character pairs particularly well with beef stew, oysters, and other hearty, traditional Irish dishes.

    Is Guinness Draught as strong as other stouts?

    At 4.2% ABV, it's actually on the lighter side for a stout, prioritising smoothness and balance over higher alcohol strength.
