Beer Review: 250th Anniversary Guinness

Guinness 250th Anniversary Special

My wife and I both like Guinness Drought so we were excited when we heard Guinness was releasing a special 250th Anniversary Beer.  Arthur Guinness founded Guinness Brewery in 1759.

The special 250th anniversary beer was a little hard to find in the U.S.; however, Wegman’s Grocery Stores and Total Wine both carry the product in my area.  The 250th Anniversary version does not contain a hi-tech widget, is less creamy, and perhaps tastes a bit sweeter than the regular product.  However, Guinness fans will certainly enjoy trying this special release even if, like us, they still prefer the regular product over the special release.

  1. I don’t think I’ve read of anyone who likes the 250 better than the original stuff. I was going to buy it, but all the reviews were so ‘eh’ I decided to pass. Maybe I’ll try the 500 year batch in a couple of centuries! ;-)

    Scott, thanks for the comment. You’re not missing too much. I guess I wasn’t too surprised it wasn’t as good. If Guinness had a better beer they’d probably do something with it besides a temporary release.
