Guinness Celebrates 250 Years and Hong Kong is Invited to the Party

September 24, 2009

Special edition Guinness 250 coming to Hong Kong.

Guinness is celebrating 250 years this September, believe it or not, and on the way to this historic landmark in beer history, they are releasing a special variant beer to mark the occasion. The interesting part here is that Hong Kong is one of only 3 market’s getting this special brew. Australia and the U.S., are the other 2! That pretty much says that Hong Kong is probably the largest consumer of Guinness in Asia.

To commemorate this remarkable anniversary, Hong Kong has become one of the three markets where GUINNESS 250 Anniversary Stout is being made available. The limited edition release will be available in the third quarter of 2009 in Hong Kong for a limited period. The commemorative stout is carbonated, not nitrogenated like the traditional GUINNESS Draught.

A bunch of pub events are going to be taking place throughout the Summer, no doubt at two of Hong Kong’s most infamous Irish pubs: Dublin Jack’s and Delaney’s! The new website is up now promoting this occaision so head on over and get into the Guinness. Will the Black Eyed Peas be coming back to Hong Kong to promote this? We’ll let you know.
