Not the best Guinness can produce but I understand the requirement that this beer might remain in the bottle for quite a time and needs to remain drinkable. I would rate the draft version higher, only because it&#8217;s fresher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone has-custom-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/worldbeerchallenge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_1205.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"765\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/worldbeerchallenge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_1205-765x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-813\" style=\"border-radius:12px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldbeerchallenge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_1205-765x1024.jpg 765w, https:\/\/worldbeerchallenge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_1205-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/worldbeerchallenge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_1205-768x1028.jpg 768w, https:\/\/worldbeerchallenge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_1205.jpg 1195w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 765px) 100vw, 765px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, Ireland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date Consumed:<\/strong> 2014<br><strong>Beer:<\/strong> Harp Lager<br><strong>Brewed:<\/strong> Dundalk, Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland<br><strong>Size:<\/strong> 355mL<br><strong>Alcohol Content:<\/strong> 4.3%<br><strong>Sourced:<\/strong> The Beer Cellar Website, Hamilton, New Zealand<br><strong>World Beer Rating:<\/strong> 5\/10<br><br> <strong>Notes:<\/strong> Pretty average beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone has-custom-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/worldbeerchallenge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_4741.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"765\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/worldbeerchallenge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_4741-765x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-814\" style=\"border-radius:12px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/worldbeerchallenge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_4741-765x1024.jpg 765w, https:\/\/worldbeerchallenge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_4741-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/worldbeerchallenge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_4741-768x1028.jpg 768w, https:\/\/worldbeerchallenge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/IMG_4741.jpg 1195w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 765px) 100vw, 765px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Harp Lager, Ireland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date Consumed: 2013Beer: Guinness Foreign Extra StoutBrewed: St. James\u2019s Gate Brewery, Dublin, IrelandSize: 330mLAlcohol Content: 7.5%Sourced: Noble Green Wines, Hampton Hill, London, United KingdomWorld Beer Rating: 8\/10 Notes: It&#8217;s the world famous Guinness and it&#8217;s a high alcohol export version from Ireland itself.
