Murphy's Stout

[edit]

Murphy's is a dry stout. The brewers describe Murphys Irish Stout as "smooth and creamy, with a subtle bitterness," and it is a competitor of Guinness.

Murphy's Irish Stout has a slightly nutty flavor with a slight hint of coffee which is less bitter than the Guinness brand of stout. The manufacturers had a television advertising campaign in the UK voiced by actor Tony Clarkin, which played on this fact — "like the Murphy's, I'm not bitter". In the U.S., Murphy's has relied on "discovery" and word of mouth to build the brand. The Murphy's brand hit its volume pinnacle in the U.S. in 1997, but in subsequent years it has declined due to other company priorities. [citation needed]

Irish Red

In 1983, after the Murphy's brand was bought by Dutch brewer Heineken International, "Irish Red" was launched for the export market, as it was hoped that it would be more popular than stout overseas.[2]
