Low-alcohol Guinness set for test run

A STOUT war erupted yesterday as Diageo announced it is to test market a new low-alcohol Guinness in Limerick.

Beamish & Crawford said they were concerned the move will undermine and damage the stout category as a whole.

Guinness Mid-Strength will have a 2.8% alcohol content compared to 4.8% in Guinness draught.
