A Tribute to Guinness Original | 40 Pint Beer Kit
A Tribute to Guinness Original Stout has a dark toffee colour with a light head. The distinctive aromas of roasted barley malts, toasty chocolate and coffee come through from the first taste. The flavour is velvet chocolate and coffee with a delicious, slightly bitter aftertaste. There is a perfect balance of bitter and sweet flavours with malt and roast characters. The palate is smooth, creamy and balanced. This is what has made Guinness one of the best selling beers in the world. This kit produces 40 pints of delicious, creamy stout at 4.2% ABV.
The Commercial Brewery:
Originally leased in 1759 to Arthur Guinness at 45 Irish Pounds per year for 9,000 years, the St James Gate area has been the home of Guinness ever since. It became the largest brewery in Ireland in 1838, and the largest in the world by 1886, with an annual output of 1.2 million barrels. The company merged with Grand Metropolitan in 1997 to form Diageo plc, capitalised in 2006 at approximately 40 billion euros. Although not officially fully taken over, the Guinness family still owns 51 per cent of the brewery. St. James’s Gate Brewery, Dublin brews the production of all Guinness sold in the UK and Ireland.
Please note: This is a Dark Rock Tribute homebrew beer kit inspired by the style and flavour profile of Guinness Original. It is not manufactured by, affiliated with or endorsed by Guinness.
Tribute Homebrew Beer Kits
The Dark Rock Tribute Series allows you to brew beers inspired by some of Britain’s best-known commercial favourites. Each recipe is carefully researched and developed using selected malt extract, speciality grains, hops and yeast to recreate the individual character and flavour profile of the beer that inspired it.
Every commercial brewery has its own unique brewing water, equipment, fermentation methods and house yeast. For this reason, Dark Rock Tribute beers are not intended to be exact clones. Instead, they are carefully designed interpretations that allow you to brew an excellent beer inspired by the original.
We recommend making the beer, trying it alongside the commercial version and seeing how close you can get.
Our experienced brewers carefully select every ingredient to create premium homebrew beer kits with genuine flavour, aroma and character. From classic British bitters and golden ales to rich dark beers and modern IPAs, the Dark Rock Tribute Series gives you the opportunity to brew a wide range of commercial beer-inspired styles in your own home.
Brew it. Compare it. Enjoy it.
Why Choose Dark Rock Homebrew Beer Kits?
Dark Rock Beer Kits make it easy to brew exceptional, full flavoured beer at home. They are ideal for both beginners and experienced home brewers who want premium results without the time, equipment and complexity required for all grain brewing.
Unlike basic beer kits that use pre-hopped extract and require little more than mixing with water, our premium extract beer kits give you greater involvement in the brewing process. Each recipe uses carefully selected brewery quality liquid malt extract, speciality grains, premium hop pellets and premium brewing yeast, allowing you to build layers of authentic malt and hop flavour.
The result is an easy-to-use homebrew kit that bridges the gap between traditional extract brewing and more advanced brewing methods. You get more control over flavour and aroma while still using standard homebrew equipment. Our ingredients are carefully blended to suit each individual beer style, helping you create everything from crisp pale ales and classic bitters to rich stouts and bold IPAs.
Whether you are brewing your first 40 pint batch or have years of home brewing experience, Dark Rock Beer Kits provide a straightforward way to produce beer with genuine depth, aroma and character.
Brew with confidence. Brew with Dark Rock.

Brewers Tips
This kit includes Pure Brew, a professional enhancer that boosts fermentation and treats brewing water. It feeds yeast with vital nutrients, while removing Chlorine and Chloramine, which can cause off-flavours. Since water quality is key to great beer, we strongly recommend using Pure Brew in every brew for consistently better results.
To make brewing even easier, we’ve included a grain t-bag and hop t-bag.

Certainly benefitted from being left to mature for 6 weeks.
Not heavy with a smooth chocolate/coffee taste.
Well worth brewing.
well worth leaving for at least 6 weeks in the pressure barrel for the full flavours to develop
Pleasant mouth feel and taste very close to the old Guinness
this is do similar to the guiness served in dublin , really easy to make and i put mine in a corny keg and the surplus into bottles to store ,, after couple 3 weeks into the kegerator and served through an i kegger tap with stout spout ,, ( thanks jessie ????) better than pub quality abd better than draught guiness in my opinion ( and all
of my drinking pals ) one note on brewing is that my water comes from an artisan well which has been tested and there is nothing in it apart from water ????,, maybe that’s the secret all i know is it’s a staple serving abd on the summer once chilled in the kegerator it’s fantastic , give it a try ,, out of stock at the moment … no suprise there then
