Before we discuss facts about Guinness, we should visualize something. Whenever we think of St. Paddys Day, we think of Ireland, 5 leaf-clovers and high contrasting green color. Along with that, lots and lots of “Beer“.

World’s Famous Irish Beer

Guinness is perhaps the most famous Irish beer brand in the world. Chances are that your favourite bar or restaurant would be serving you Guinness in March. And when the seasons come, who wouldn’t want to impress their friends by inviting them over and serving them this brand.

Facts About Guinness: High in Alcohol

This is the first misconception that you should clear with your friends. Guinness is less alcoholic & less boozier than any average beer.

Facts About Guinness: High in Calories

A short description of Guinness is its creamy texture, dark colour alongside rich, caramel tinged flavour. This usually gives us the idea that it must be high in calories. But, the fact of the matter is, “No“. According to the research, 12 ounce per serving of Guinness sets you back 125 calories. It is just higher than the serving of The Bud Light year. It is because, alcohol is usually the main calorie source of the beers, but since Guinness stands at 4.2% ABV, it becomes relatively less in calories.

Facts About Guinness: High in CO2

Before we discuss further about various facts about Guinness, related to the dark colour and sweetness- let us make you one thing clear.
