Guinness has announced three limited-edition brews ahead of Japan v Ireland

JOE

Anyone up for a Stout Of The Rising Sun ahead of Japan v Ireland?

In case you haven’t heard, this weekend is a pretty big one for Irish rugby. Not only is our second game mere days away, but the team we’re facing also happens to be Japan, aka one of the coolest places on earth and host nation of the tournament.

To celebrate this occasion, Guinness has announced three new limited-edition beers brewed by Peter Simpson and Fergal Haran in the experimental brewery at St James’s Gate, including a non-alcoholic option. They will be available only to a select few, and you have to show your belief in the Irish team to prove why it should be you.

Simply share on social media why you believe the Irish rugby team can win the Rugby World Cup, using the hashtag #IrelandBelieves. Guinness will then select 100 Belief posts on social, welcoming these top believers to experience the bespoke brews at the Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Dublin.

Here are the three brand-new beers the lucky believers will get to sample:

  • Ginger and Wasabi Stout – 6.2% ABV
  • Stout Of The Rising Sun – 4.8% ABV
  • Yuzu Amber Ale – 0.5 ABV
