New cutting edge technology

Guinness MicroDraught marks a bold new chapter in the innovation of Guinness, introducing cutting-edge technology that delivers a beautiful draught Guinness without the need for a traditional gas cylinder. Designed to bring the legendary stout experience to more venues and occasions, MicroDraught delivers the iconic creamy head, deep roasted flavours and balanced bitterness that drinkers expect from every pint.

At the heart of the system is a world-first, patented double-coaxial piercing technology that dispenses Guinness from a specially designed can filled with the very same liquid brewed at St James’s Gate Brewery. Developed over two years, this pioneering system represents the biggest technological leap for Guinness since the introduction of the widget in 1988, opening the door for thousands more venues around the world to serve a consistently perfect pint of Guinness and Guinness 0.0, no matter their size or setup.

Reasons to pour

The Micro Draught system uses nitrogen capsules to replicate the same creamy head and smooth serve you get from a traditional keg of Guinness. For venues that can’t run full gas systems, it’s the closest experience to draught Guinness!
