The Competition

Can you pour the perfect pint? Now’s your chance to find out.

Starting on Thursday 12 March 2026, we will be running a weekly Instagram competition, giving away Guinness related prizes to one of our lucky entries. Once they’ve gone, they’ve gone, and the competition will end. But don’t worry, we’ve got enough prizes to last a good few months, and we’ll let you know via our social channels exactly when our competition will end. Please drink responsibly.

Here’s all you need to know. We can’t wait to see your photos.
