For the cheese tray, consider smooth and creamy cheeses, such as blue, Dubliner cheddar, Camembert, or Brei. Because Tropical stout is basically a suped-up sweet stout, having more of an alcohol presence it works really well with more intense chocolate desserts. Try a molten chocolate cake or something fruity like a strawberry tart. Serving & Storage: In 1959, Guinness celebrated its bicentennial, releasing Guinness Draught Stout for the first time. Six years later the beer first arrived in the United States. We guarantee that by the time you finish reading this, you’ll have learned something new about one of the most revered and recognizable pints in the history of beer. There May Not Have Been a Guinness…Without an Archbishop Photography courtesy of Guinness Local folks loved the beer enough that by 1799 Arthur Guinness II, the son of Arthur Guinness, stopped brewing ales altogether to hone in on his stout recipe.
But if you talk to the folks at Guinness, like Wagner, this question brings up a point of contention. Although not a wealthy family, the Guinnesses thrived. Even before the brewery, the family owned a very successful flour mill. And many of the family members became politicians or served in parliament in England (at the time, Ireland was still a part of the British Empire). Guinness was never too concerned about Colonial Stout encroaching in their market since they believed that these beers catered to a less discerning stout drinker. Additionally, their focus was on their most important market for Foreign Extra Stout at that time; the United States of America. Guinness in the Twentieth Century In 1838, St. James’s Gate Brewery became the largest brewery in Ireland, and by 1886 it had achieved the title of largest brewery in the world. Sixty-four acres at its largest, St. James’s Gate had everything from one the world’s biggest cooperages to ports that accessed the river where boats whisked away beer from the brewery. That’s due to America’s three-tier system, which means producers aren’t legally allowed to go into a retailer’s account and tinker with their draft systems. It’s up to the bars and restaurants themselves to maintain their draft lines and maintenance.

Pun very intended when we say the origin of Guinness Draught Stout is actually two-fold. And it started with the two-part pour. Steeping is a very simple and straight forward procedure, which consists of putting your specialty grains in a mesh bag and letting them sit in 3 to 4 quarts of water per pound of grain, at around 170°F for about 30 minutes. For more details, please read our article about steeping and mini-mashing. Hops: From those meager beginnings in a rundown property, Guinness ended up becoming one of the largest breweries in the world at one point,” says Wagner. Regardless of how people express their love for this beer, Guinness has become one of the most iconic beer brands on Earth. Here, we find one of the main differences between Tropical Stout and Foreign Extra Stout; lager yeast.
If you’d like to try your hand at brewing a tropical stout recipe at home, we would recommend reading over the tips below. Grain Bill: That same year, Guinness constructed Vat House Number One. “That was a big step forward because it was those vat houses that allowed Guinness to start producing the darker beers that we would become synonymous for later on,” says Wagner. See, by the mid-twentieth century brewers began using single stainless steel kegs to store beer instead of a two-barrel system. And it’s called nitrogen. The Origin of Guinness Draught Stout: The Miracle of Nitrogen Photography courtesy of GuinnessWe tell the story of the harp with our tongue planted firmly in cheek,” says Wagner, because when the country of Ireland approached Guinness about using the symbol, they said, “Nah brah, you have to get your own,” says Wagner.
From the time that the company started using the harp logo well into the next decade, Guinness would be engaged in the arduous task of building a global brand identity while also consolidating their bottling operation and modernizing brewing methods. For the first of these tasks, they would deploy brand ambassadors known as travelers to build awareness and report to brewery management about developing beer trends. In 1900, one of these travelers identified what he referred to as Colonial Stout in Australia, a sweeter more affordable alternative to Guinness that was locally brewed. Another reported that stout was the most popular beer in South Africa by a wide margin, but that Colonial Stout had the largest share of the market. Colonial Stout in the Caribbean World history…and Irish history, of course. Pull on Our ‘Harp’ Strings: How Guinness Trademarked the Harp Photography courtesy of Guinness According to Hayden, those bottles are still turning up on beaches to this day. “It’s like the longest advertising campaign,” says Hayden. “I always wanted a complete one that wasn’t opened.” He finally got one. “It’s something I cherish,” says Hayden, who has yet to open the bottle and says he never will. It’s an ingeniously simple innovation. One that folks in Ireland have recognized time and again. In fact, in the early aughts, an Irish magazine published a survey for readers asking them questions about the previous hundred years, including: What was the most important invention of the twentieth century? For years and years, bars and pubs served Guinness beer in one of two ways. Either the brewery sent beer to the bars and they would bottle it themselves, or the brewery would send each pub two casks of Guinness beer.The Tropical stout style is still part of the Export Category in most competitions, so without actually trying the beer it is hard to say which are examples of the Tropical style and which are FES examples. For this reason I am not including any recent award winners. Though I would encourage you to seek out the winners in this category and see if you can figure out which may fall into the Tropical style.
