Murphy’s Irish Stout

Murphy's Irish Stout is rooted in Cork’s brewing tradition and became one of Ireland’s best-known stout identities. Heineken acquired Murphy’s brewery interests in the early 1980s, bringing the stout into the Heineken portfolio. The beer is known for black colour, roasted barley, coffee and chocolate notes, creamy mouthfeel, and a dry smooth finish. Within the archive, Murphy’s Irish Stout represents a major Irish stout tradition alongside Beamish and Guinness, with a softer, rounded drinking profile.
