A Heap of Sydney Pubs Are Giving Away Free Pints of Guinness Whenever the Temperature Drops Below Nine Degrees
Here's something to cheers to next time the mercury drops in Sydney.
It's not often that you're holding out hope that the temperature drops even further in winter. But a bunch of Sydney pubs are encouraging you to do just that this chilly season. As the temperature drops, beer lovers turn to their go-to winter stout, Guinness, and the iconic brewery has enlisted the help of a group of beloved Sydney stalwarts to give away free pints as the mercury falls.
The concept is simple. If the temperature drops below nine degrees during the month of June, there are free pints of Guinness on offer. To claim your complimentary beer, head to one of the participating venues and show the bartender Guinness' Brewery of Meteorology site which will display the temperature.
Some of the pubs taking part in the promotion include The Carrington and Keg & Brew in Surry Hills; The Dog Hotel, Jimmy's Bar and Horses Hotel in Randwick; The Village Inn in Paddington; Woollahra Hotel and Lord Dudley Hotel in Woollhara; Grand Hotel, Tea Gardens Hoel and Beach Road Hotel in Bondi; Charing Cross Hotel in Waverley; Clovelly Hotel; Coogee Beach Club; and Woolloomoolloo's East Sydney Hotel.
Adding to this celebration of the colder months, Guinness has also created a set of merino-wool thermals covered in the iconic Guinness harp. If your passion for the historic beer extends far enough that you want to represent it on your body, you can win a pair of the limited-edition thermals via the Brewery of Meteorology website.
"As the weather gets cooler, there's nothing better than rugging up and enjoying a Guinness," said Guinness' appointed meteorologist, beloved celebrity chef Colin Fassnidge.
"I'll be keeping an eye on the temperature this winter, and when it drops I hope to see plenty of Guinness fans donning their Guinness thermals and heading to a cosy pub to enjoy a pint."
For more information on the Guinness giveaway and to enter to win the Guinness-branded thermals, head to the Brewery of Meteorology website.
