Guinness Phnom Penh Cambodia Irish Stout Sold Here!
Since Arthur Guinness signed his legendary 9,000-year lease on the St. James's Gate Brewery in 1759, the brand has remained at the forefront of brewing innovation. Their most groundbreaking achievement came in 1959 when mathematician-turned-brewer Michael Ash pioneered the use of nitrogen to create the world's first nitro beer, achieving the signature smooth, velvety mouthfeel and cascading "surge and settle" effect that Guinness is famous for.
Fortunately for you Guinness draught is available in Phnom Penh - read on to learn more about how Guinness has developed over the years or scroll to the bottom to learn where to find some creamy pints.
What is Guinness Draught?
The Guinness Draught we know and love today – with its smooth, velvety texture, cascading pour, and thick, creamy ivory head – was first introduced in 1959 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin.
Key characteristics of Guinness Draught:
Flavor & Aroma: It has a perfectly balanced flavor profile featuring roasted barley, malty caramel, coffee, and subtle chocolate notes.
Appearance: While it famously appears jet-black in the glass, it is actually a deep, ruby-red color when held up to the light.
Alcohol by Volume: 4.2% ABV.
Calories: 125 calories per 12-fluid-ounce serving.
Dietary Info: It is 100% vegan-friendly.
Guinness Draught on Tap in Phnom Penh
Unfortunately, there isn't a regular supply of Guinness Draught kegs in Cambodia. While from time to time some venues do manage to score a few kegs, the biggest problem is the price. If you are lucky enough to find Guinness Draught on tap in Cambodia you can expect to pay $12+ for 1 x Guinness (as expensive as the Temple Bar in Dublin). The list of variables involved in pouring the perfect pint of Guinness Draught on tap is virtually endless and is extremely time consuming.
Guinness Draught Cans in Phnom Penh
Just like the Guinness Draught Keg supply outlined above there is no steady supply of Guinness Draught cans at wholesalers in Cambodia. From time to time, wholesalers will have a few cases for sale and are usually snapped up pretty quickly by bars/pubs in Phnom Penh.
Guinness Draught from a Can?

Best Pub for Guinness in Phnom Penh
In order to get enough stock to meet the demand for Guinness Draught cans in Phnom Penh bars generally need to pre-order months in advance. One particular bar in Phnom Penh takes this task particularly seriously to make sure there are always Guinness draught cans in stock.
In 2025, The Wild Rover sold roughly 500 cases of Guinness draught. That's about 12,000 x 440ml Guinness Draught cans – or 5280 liters of Guinness! This number would seem insignificant in a Dublin pub but in Phnom Penh it is quite an achievement and really keeps us on our toes with pre-ordering the creamy black schtuff.
Why It's the Best Pub for Guinness in Phnom Penh
The Wild Rover Irish Pub is known for serving the most consistent, creamy pints poured into proper, custom-fit Guinness glassware. Because Guinness should be chilled at a slightly higher temperature than regular beers, we have one dedicated Guinness fridge with roughly 250 Guinness draught cans chilling at any one time. In addition to the chilled stock in our dedicated Guinness fridge we also have between 100 - 150 cases (of 24 x 440ml Guinness Draught cans) in our Phnom Penh store room.
The myth that canned stout is inferior is outdated, thanks to over 250 years of brewing technology and the sheer brilliance of the widget. Released upon opening, it perfectly replicates the silky, nitrogenated pour of Guinness draught on tap.
Paired with our custom-made Guinness glassware, designed for Guinness Draught cans to fit perfectly, you will be hard pushed to find a better presented Guinness for only $5 in a pub in Phnom Penh. But don't simply take our word for it - check out our reviews on Google maps.
