‘The pint has landed’: Guinness launches US-exclusive Over a Moon Milk Stout

CLOSE

Guinness is famous for their traditional stout, Guinness Draught, done usually in Dublin.

But on Thursday, a 260-year-old Irish brewery launched a new brew which will be accessible exclusively in a United States.

The Over a Moon Milk Stout, that arrives a small over  50 years after a initial male landed on a moon, originated at Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Baltimore and can now be bought during stores via a mid-Atlantic and Massachusetts.

With it, they aim to “create what American Guinness will mean,” Hollie Stephenson, conduct brewer during a Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Baltimore, told USA TODAY.

The new vigourous has notes of roasted malt, caramel, coffee and chocolate along with a somewhat honeyed finish that is characteristic in many divert stouts. 

The ABV, or ethanol by volume, is 5.3%.

Stephenson pronounced that a Over a Moon Milk Stout is usually a third product they’ve ever done during a storehouse. 

A crowd-favorite in Baltimore since a taproom non-stop in Aug 2018, the vigourous was formerly usually accessible on-site before Thursday’s sell roll-out. Before Thursday, it was simply listed as “Guinness Milk Stout,” on tap.

Given Guinness’ storied story with stouts, Stephenson said the Open Gate group wanted to make a drink that would be authentic to Guinness while singular adequate to partisan drinkers that might have changed on to opposite stouts.

The idea is to offer a “craft drinker palette,” she explained. 

The character of a drink aligns with a characteristics of stouts now in a qualification market.

“Everything that we’re doing here is out of a normal box,” Stephenson said of a Baltimore brewery. “Not to make a breeze vigourous – that’s still usually done in Dublin, a one everybody thinks of as Guinness. It’s a brewery to make new and innovative beers.”

Guinness has breweries all over a world. In fact, it’s brewed in 49 countries around a creation and is sole in some-more than 150. Nearly 9 million eyeglasses of Guinness are consumed daily worldwide, a brewery records in a release. 

Many of those breweries have their possess season from singular recipes, she said. 

Americans, though, tend to consider of Guinness usually as an import brand, Stephenson said. But a Open Gate Brewery is commencement to change that, starting with a Over a Moon Milk Stout, a permanent further to a Guinness drink family.

Right now, it is accessible regionally in a Baltimore area, as good as Virginia, Delaware, Massachusetts and New Jersey. It will be accessible nationally for a singular time starting in Nov by a finish of a year. The suggested cost for a 12-pack is $10.99. 

In those regions, a drink will be a permanent further to shelves that already residence Guinness Draught, Guinness Blonde or Guinness Extra Stout.

And of course, we can still sequence it at a Open Gate Brewery. 

“We’re really unapproachable of this sole beer,” Chris McClellan, senior ambassador for Guinness Brewery, pronounced during a launch eventuality Thursday in New York. “(It) represents a past, benefaction and destiny of Guinness.”
