277 Beer Saturday's With A Twist
Brewed in Dublin enjoyed in Durban, why this black stout is so enjoyed on the African continent lets take a look back into the history.
Guinness brewing company opened their first brewery outside the British Isles in Nigeria in the year1963 then extended it's growth. Within this link you will learn Guinness Extra Foreign Stout's ingredients were slightly different to the original using maize or sorghum resulting in a more bitter taste to barley used in Ireland.

Guinness Stout became a firm favourite extending to breweries in this region, any beer lover is happily rewarded with this magic black liquid, firm foam head.
A little history to get going, we have not been able to obtain this stout in many months since lockdown, prohibition, export/imports all going array over the past couple of years.
Every time I visit wishing my son to taste test this black liquid with frothy head I would ask, last week it had arrived, a ship set sail South, now to enjoy, not a bad price either for imported beer at ZAR21.25 each (UD$ 1.18 approximately).
Beer in a can (which I normally don't enjoy) an exception is made when it comes to Guinness with the precious widget inside making each can as good as the next, perhaps one day I will afford a trip to Ireland to drink on tap which I believe has amazing flavour.
Thoroughly enjoyed this import, Oh my son loves the taste, yes it is unique, most definitely one that stands the test of time on any special occasion.
Ale, man, ale’s the stuff to drink
For fellows whom it hurts to think:
Look into the pewter pot
To see the world as the world’s not.
And faith, ’tis pleasant till ’tis past:
The mischief is that ’twill not last.
