Guinness Foreign Extra Stout is a full flavoured beer, born of a thirst for adventure. Arthur Guinness was an explorer. He explored the senses. He explored taste. He explored texture. And of course, he was determined to explore pastures new and afar. In the early 1800s, Guinness struck out into unchartered territories to export our distinctive beer across the globe. Brewed with extra hops to preserve the beer in the ships’ holds during 4-5 week voyages in topical climates, the recipe yielded a powerful drink with bold character. Originally known as West India Porter, Guinness Foreign Extra Stout has evolved through the ages, but its soul has stayed the same. Pack your bags, whet your lips and dive in.
With craft beer gaining increasing popularity among beer connoisseurs, Hurricane Reef takes the drinker on an adventurous journey into uncharted flavour territories. A carefully crafted Indian Pale Ale with a bold taste, Hurricane Reef is brewed with a daring blast of citrus, much richer in hops and alcohol volume, for full-bodied satisfaction, producing an exceptionally refreshing brew. A perfect complement for those with a thirst for adventure and thrill-seeking, Hurricane Reef is best enjoyed by the not so faint at heart!
Mackeson is a full-bodied milk stout that is “not too sweet and not too bitter.” Its overall sweetness is well balanced by a bitter chocolate characteristic, a signature of the chocolate malt used to brew the stout.
