==Irish stout==

With sweet stouts becoming the dominant stout in the UK in the early 20th century, it was mainly in Ireland that the non-sweet or standard stout was being made. As standard stout has a drier taste than the English and American sweet stouts, they came to be called ''dry stout'' or ''Irish stout'' to differentiate them from stouts with added lactose or oatmeal.<ref>{{cite book|title=Oxford Companion to Beer|page=494|publisher=Oxford University Press|date= 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://allaboutbeer.com/article/milk-stout-2/|author=Klemp, Keith |title=Milk Stout|date=1 July 2012|magazine= All About Beer Magazine |volume=33 |issue=3 }}</ref> This is the style that represents a typical stout to most people.<ref name=eddings>{{cite web|url=http://beer.about.com/od/sto2/p/LaymansStout.htm|author=Bryce Eddings|title=A Layman's Guide to Stout – Introduction to Stout Styles|website=About.com|access-date=26 May 2015|archive-date=26 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150526200531/http://beer.about.com/od/sto2/p/LaymansStout.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> The best selling stouts worldwide are Irish stouts made by [[Guinness]] (now owned by [[Diageo]]) at [[Guinness Brewery|St. James's Gate Brewery]] (also known as the Guinness Brewery) in [[Dublin]].
