Guinness West Indies Porter was created at the beginning of the 19th century in response to the challenge of keeping a beer fresh for long sea voyages. The Guinness brewers, known for their innovative spirit, developed a beer with additional hops, which served as a natural preservative. The result was so successful that this rich and characterful porter quickly found its way to the Caribbean, America, Africa and South East Asia. Guinness West Indies Porter impresses with its intense flavour and its historic origins, which make it a special treat.
