Guinness to Release Foreign Extra Stout in the USA - Page 3

Powers · 10-08-2010, 12:20 PM

If my local grocery store has it I'll be sippin' on a few during the MLB playoffs tonight!

dwoodward · 10-08-2010, 12:35 PM

Gosh, how are people finding this? One of the Top 10 distributors in the US is right here where I live and somehow they don't even know it exists...

GAH!!!!

I'm sure it will take a couple weeks to spread throughout the US. Wednesday I asked the distributor if he knew anything about it and he said "Yep. You all will be getting 25 cases tomorrow." I said fantastic.

My local grocery store didn't have it, hopefully they will soon, but they had 12 pks of Guinness Draught on sale so i didn't walk away empty handed

I will do that as soon as I find the new Guinness here.

No dice yet.

Just talked to the distributor here in town again. This time, they have heard of it, but say that it probably wont be shipping here until January.

I hate living in the middle of no where, all the cool things are old by the time they get here.

WyGuy · 10-20-2010, 03:14 PM

Just picked up a four-pack, looking forward to giving it a try sometime soon.

I haven't had a Guiness in awhile.

I will have to stop on my way home and have a look.

I have a friend from Ireland that lives here now and you have completely made his day!

bresdogsr · 10-21-2010, 09:24 PM

Going to try to find some this weekend.

Doctorossi · 11-08-2010, 09:54 AM

Had to leave the state to do it, but I finally found some.

sikk50 · 11-09-2010, 06:39 PM

I wish they would rerelease Guenis 250....that was one of the best beers I every had

mosesbotbol · 11-12-2010, 08:44 AM

I got a 4 pack last night for around $10 and I was not too impressed. 7.5% alcohol, but other than that was the same stout in a bottle. I much prefer either draft or widget can/bottle version.
