Guinness 0.0

OU812 · 2021-08-05 10:28:18

Not sure how I feel about this. Guinness are to launch a non alcoholic version - https://www.guinness.com/en-ie/our-beers/guinness-0.0/ I’m interested in trying it, not sure I’ll like it though. The only zero alcohol beer I like is the Heineken one as I think it’s the closest in flavour to the original, but I don’t…

The pubs that have the machines get totally different cans, yea. The cans for the machine are printed upside down, and they have no ring pull on them as the machine pierces them as part of the pour. Likely a similar job to the nitro cans, i.e. no widget.

Anyone try this from the pub can machine but finish it off with the head from the ordinary Guinness tap??? Always find the 0.0 looks nowhere as nice as an ordinary pint, especially when you have taken a mouthful. Maybe a nice creamy head would solve this..

Nitro taps can't really be used to add head the way a regular tap can.
Diageo seem to be rolling out kegs of 0.0 now as well though. The Flowing Tide have it.
