Not in the mood for a cocktail? Enjoy two new Guinness releases that will be offered for a limited time nationwide: Guinness Over the Moon Milk Stout and Guinness Stock Ale Aged in Bulleit Bourbon Barrels. Both of these latest, limited-edition variants have been created and brewed in Baltimore at the 2018-opened Guinness Open Gate Brewery.

St. James Flip

Ingredients:

1 oz. Black Strap Rum

0.5 oz. sweetened condensed milk

1/2 of a fresh egg

1.5 oz. Guinness Foreign Extra Stout or Guinness Draught

Grated nutmeg

Instructions:

Combine all wet ingredients in a cocktail shaker and dry shake without ice. Add ice to the shaker and continue to shake until the mixture is smooth and frothy. Strain cocktail into a small goblet and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.

Black Velvet

Ingredients:

Half a flute of Champagne

Half a flute of Guinness Extra Stout

Instructions:

Pour Guinness Draught into a champagne flute. Add champagne carefully, so it does not mix with the Guinness and serve.

1 oz. Johnnie Walker Whisky

2 oz. Guinness Foreign Extra Stout

1 oz. Claret or Bordeaux style wine

0.25 oz. Demerara syrup

1 teaspoon Allspice Dram Liqueur

Grated nutmeg

Instructions:

This is a warm cocktail served in an Irish coffee goblet. Combine all the ingredients except the whisky in a saucepan and heat the liquid. Pour into a preheated glass and add Johnnie Walker Whisky to the top. Grate with fresh nutmeg and enjoy.

Guinness Stock Ale Aged in Bulleit Bourbon Barrels

A stock ale is traditionally a blend of two different beer styles. Guinness Stock Ale Aged in Bulleit Bourbon Barrels is the endgame of a Guinness Barleywine and a Guinness Imperial Stout – both brewed in Baltimore and aged in Bulleit Bourbon barrels before being blended together.

The high gravity stout and malty barleywine lead to a hearty and full-bodied beer with notes of nutty chocolate, raisins, roasted barley and sweet dark fruit with an ABV of 10%. Aromas of vanilla, coffee, stone fruit and ripe berries come off of this intense and luxuriant stock ale. The best way to enjoy all of these complex flavors and aromas is to sip the beer slowly and savor it at a leisurely pace – with respect to its double digit ABV. Guinness Stock Ale Aged in Bulleit Bourbon Barrels is shelves across the country for a limited time.

Guinness Over The Moon Milk Stout

Guinness Over The Moon Milk Stout is one of the newest beer from the Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Baltimore, MD. It’s a full-bodied stout that has a creamy mouthfeel, full of flavor with hints of roasted malt, milk chocolate and rich coffee. Its roasted barley character pairs nicely with most grilled or roasted meats, while its subtle sweetness and notes of chocolate and coffee blend nicely with a wide range of desserts like pecan pie, chocolate chip cookies or even s’mores. The stout is available nationally for a limited time.
