In this episode of the Guinness Alternative Index, we take a look at two Marks & Spencer nitro stouts - including a Northern Monk collaboration and another brewed by Siren, with roots linked to Timothy Taylor.
M&S have quietly built a reputation for high-quality beer, especially through their craft partnerships. But can their nitro stouts actually compete with Guinness?
This one takes an unexpected turn, with one of the beers not quite behaving as it should - raising some interesting questions about quality, storage, and consistency.
As always, we’re comparing against the Guinness baseline using both hard pour and Nitrosurge, scoring on taste, mouthfeel, and value to see where these really land.
Are these genuine contenders, or just premium supermarket hype?

So I decided to shake the can then invert and place into the glass slightly, I then gently pulled the ring so 50% of the can was delivered under pressure, I then added the rest.
It worked for me ✌️
When are you going to pitch Belhaven against the Guinness?
This needs to happen very soon 😉

The issue I’ve found with these cans is that they don’t activate the nitrogen properly nor have quite enough, Northern Rising is notably worse as the head falls apart.
You’ll find the same with the new cans of Belhaven Black.
