Guinness has announced a 0% ABV version of its stout which, it says, tastes and looks just like the regular version of the beer.
To create Guinness 0.0, the St James’s Gate brewers start by brewing Guinness exactly as they always have, using the same natural ingredients before gently removing the alcohol through a cold filtration method.
The cold filtration process allows the alcohol to be filtered out without presenting thermal stress to the beer, protecting the integrity of its taste and character. The brewers then blend and balance the flavours to ensure the distinctive flavour profile and taste characteristics of Guinness are present.
Brewer Aisling Ryan said: “Guinness has always had an unwavering commitment to quality, and our entire brewing team is hugely proud of the care and effort that has been put into the four-year development process for Guinness 0.0.
“We have created a taste experience that we believe is truly unrivalled in the world of non-alcoholic beer, and we can’t wait for people to finally be able to try it!”
