Over 200 people
celebrated the arrival of Guinness Black Lager, the latest taste sensation from
Guinness, at a unique event in the Tivoli Theatre Car-Park on Francis Street,
Dublin. This was no down-at-heel outdoor drink fest in a car park, no there
were super cool Mongolian yurts set up for the occasion, very festival chic.
It was a very laidback
atmosphere for the guests who sampled the lager which is available nationwide
through off licences, and enjoyed a specially designed menu from the Sett Food
Club and a music set created by David Kitt.
Taste stations
included surprising food combinations designed to complement the tasting notes
of Guinness Black Lager including goat cheese with toasted oaks, lamb
carpaccio, quail eggs with hay and many more.
Guests were welcomed
by Fergal Murray, Guinness Master Brewer and Sarah Spain, Senior Brand Manager
Guinness, before enjoying the popular Dine in the Dark experience led by Tom
Lynn from Sett Food Club.
Developed by the
master brewers at Guinness in response to a growing desire from lager drinkers
for more taste, Guinness Black Lager is brewed just like a lager with the
addition of Guinness signature roasted barley. This gives it a flavour that’s
quite unique from that of other lagers.
