"Any Guinness fans in the house? Personally, I'll down a can of dark Guinness any day, and though I can confirm that it does indeed taste better in Ireland, I'll never fault the brand for that. Guinness is famous for its dark draught beer, in recent years the the company hasn't been afraid to stray away from other expressions, including a non-alcoholic Irish stout and the beer-once-brewed in Charm City, Baltimore Blonde lager ."
"I'll begin by saying I'm pretty picky about my lagers. My ideal beer is as dark as they come - I usually go for stouts or porters, even in the dead of summer - and generally has a high ABV. That's not to say I won't drink lagers, but I need my lagers to be super flavorful without being particularly hoppy (I don't like IPAs). That in mind, I knew a lager - even from a brand as renowned as Guinness -"
Guinness is known for its dark draught beer and has expanded into a non-alcoholic Irish stout and a Baltimore Blonde lager brewed at the Open Gate facility in the Northeast. A limited store-bought Guinness Legends Lager, created in collaboration with NFL Hall-of-Famer Joe Montana, launched just before the 2026 Super Bowl and is available only for a short time. The lager received positive impressions and was described as worthy of its 'legend' label. The tasting emphasized preferences for dark, high-ABV, flavorful lagers with minimal hop character and aimed to remain objective despite celebrity association.
