Guinness Secrets Revealed!

July 20, 2014 by Derek Springer Leave a Comment

Fergal Murray, Guiness Master Brewer

I was recently in Dublin, Ireland as a sponsor of the European Beer Bloggers Conference and had the opportunity to go on an excursion to Guinness’ St. James Gate Brewery. Besides getting to see Guinness’ brand-spanking-new brewhouse, we went on a personal tour led by Master Brewer Fergal Murray, had a beautifully paired beer dinner, and ultimately had the opportunity to sit down with Fergal and a handful of Guinness brewer/engineers for a Q&A session. Of course, being in a room of all the top European beer bloggers you can be assured that no punches were pulled in the questions for this elite crew. Unfortunately, I was ill-equipped to record the questions or answers, but I did retain a handful of key responses for the topics that I often hear homebrewers chattering about. Here they are in no particular order:
