Holsten Export is a distinctive, easy-drinking premium brew, particularly appealing to 25-40-year-old lager drinkers. The Holsten name, which formerly appeared on Tottenham Hotspur's shirts, now graces the strip of a professional team closer to Shepherd Neame's Faversham home - Kent County Cricket Club Tasting notes:
A classic, continental lager, which combines a full bodied malty sweetness,

Adored since 1959, it’s the powerful surge and settle that gives GUINNESS® Draught beer its uniqueness. Lovingly poured around the world. A unique mix of nitrogen and carbon dioxide helps create GUINNESS® Draught’s liquid swirl that tumbles, surges and gradually separates into a black body and smooth creamy head. Six Degrees of Preparation GUINNESS® Draught is best served at 6°C (that’s 42.8°F), with the legendary two-part pour. First, tilt the glass to 45 degrees and carefully pour until three quarters full. Then place the glass on the bar counter and leave to settle. Once the surge has settled, fill the glass to the brim. It takes about 119.5 seconds to pour the perfect pint. But don’t fret. It’s worth the wait.
