Stout Wholesale

Guinness dominates the category internationally, and the distinction between its two principal specifications is the single most important thing to get right. Guinness Draught at around 4.2% ABV uses a nitrogen widget to reproduce the draught pour and sells into European and Western markets. Foreign Extra Stout at around 7.5% ABV was formulated to survive long shipping routes and is the version demanded in West Africa, the Caribbean and parts of South-East Asia.

An inquiry for "Guinness" without a specification cannot be quoted accurately: availability, production origin and landed cost differ substantially between them, and higher-strength stout attracts higher excise duty in most destinations. State the specification, and where your market requires it, the production origin.
