Guinness launches new cold brew coffee beer in the UK
Think a can of Guinness and an espresso martini rolled into one…
Guinness has begun the UK roll out for its brand new cold brew coffee beer following a hugely successful launch in the US last year.
Those who love a pint of the black stuff will be delighted by the news of the drink, which is said to bring the ‘magic of Guinness and distinct coffee flavours together to create a delicious and smooth taste sensation’.
To put it simply, the drink combines cold brew coffee with Guinness draught, boasting roasted barley flavours to balance the notes of coffee, chocolate and caramel.
The tipple comes in 440ml cans and will have an alcohol content of 4%. The brand also says it is best served ice cold – either straight from the can or in a glass, if you’re feeling fancy.
And for those a little worried about the caffeine hit, each can contains just 2mg of caffeine per can – the same level as a decaf coffee.

John Burns, head of Guinness, said on the launch of the new drink: “We firmly believe we have created a taste experience truly unrivalled in the market.
“With over 95 million cups of coffee being consumed every day in Great Britain alone, now is the moment to offer a product which plays to an excitingly vast consumer space.

“There is already a natural connection with coffee notes in Guinness’ signature offerings like Draught and Extra Stout, so the creation of Guinness Cold Brew Coffee Beer was a perfect match.”
Guinness Cold Brew Coffee Beer is available to buy in all good Tesco stores across the UK from today, April 20th. More supermarkets and off-licences will stock the drink in the coming months.
