Make it a Guinness This St. Patrick’s Day

Drums pounding, feet stomping, and bagpipes soaring— Guinness, the world’s most loved Irish stout, is bringing the unmistakable spirit of Ireland across bars and pubs nationwide in its biggest St. Patrick’s celebration yet! In honour of Ireland’s patron saint, there’s no better way to celebrate than by raising a perfectly poured Guinness—the Irish Stout for St. Patrick's.

Kicking off the nationwide rollout, Guinness pulled out all the stops with an Irish takeover at The Square, Jaya One, and a grand parade led by a spectacular 30-piece ensemble of drummers, bagpipers, and Irish step dancers. This set the stage for an electrifying, high-energy celebration of its rich Irish heritage.

Fans are invited to experience the true magic of St. Patrick’s at participating outlets where camaraderie, music, and the smooth taste of Guinness come together. With every sip and every Sláinte (Irish for ‘cheers’), fans will be transported to the heart of Irish culture. When it comes to St. Patrick’s, there’s only one way to do it right—so make it a smooth, creamy Guinness for this celebration.

Guinness is spreading Irish charm across Malaysia, turning 40 pubs and bars nationwide into vibrant hubs of celebration from now until the end of the month. Fans can look forward to exciting games and fun activities amid the spirit of togetherness.
