The Launch was held at Thirst Park, Georgetown. Like the name suggests, Guinness Smooth is lighter and much smoother than the original Guinness Foreign Extra Stout. Brew Master Mathew Kendall said, “Guinness Smooth is a bitter sweet mix of hops, malt and roasted barley which gives it its rich chocolate and coffee flavour”. He added that it is brewed with robust yeast and only has one third of the bitterness of the original Guinness. “…It undergoes an early cessation to enhance its full-bodied nature and provided a delicate sweetness, ” Kendall continued.

The Brew Master also pointed out that Guinness Smooth is being brewed locally under the watchful eyes of a Banks DIH’s Third Party Officer who ensures that there is strict adherence to the numerous operational and quality in the brand technical manual.
Meanwhile, Guinness’s Brand Manager, Lee Baptiste related that the new stout was created to attract a market of its own. “The wholesale price for one case of Guinness Smooth is $5, 850 per case.
