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.

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.
