Guinness at Taperia La Mina — Ireland’s Legendary Dry Stout in Benidorm
Our Guinness at Taperia La Mina brings the iconic taste of Ireland to the heart of Benidorm. This legendary dry stout, brewed at the St. James’s Gate Brewery in Dublin since 1759 under the original 9,000-year lease signed by Arthur Guinness, is one of the world’s most recognized and beloved beers. With its deep dark color, creamy white head, and distinctive roasted flavor, Guinness is a beer unlike any other — and we serve it with the respect this global classic deserves.
The History of Guinness
Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease on the St. James’s Gate Brewery in Dublin on December 31, 1759, paying an annual rent of just £45. From those humble beginnings, Guinness grew into the world’s most famous stout brand, exported to over 150 countries. The brewery’s ” oxygenation process and the famous two-part pour — wait until the beer is three-quarters full, then let it settle before topping off — have become rituals that define the Guinness experience.
The Taste of Ireland
Guinness is instantly recognizable by its near-black color with a thick, creamy white head that seems to float on top. On the nose, you’ll detect notes of roasted barley, dark chocolate, and coffee. On the palate, it is smooth and surprisingly light-bodied despite its dark appearance, with flavors of roasted malt, dark fruit, hint of bitterness, and a dry, clean finish. The creamy texture makes it feel almost like drinking a dessert.
Guinness with Spanish Food
The roasted, bitter character of Guinness pairs exceptionally well with rich, savory dishes. Try it with our Angus Burger or alongside melting cheese toasts. Taste Irish brewing heritage at Taperia La Mina.
