A Heap of Melbourne 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 Melbourne.
It's not often that you're holding out hope that the temperature drops even further in winter. But 15 Melbourne 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 Melbourne stalwarts to give away free pints as the mercury falls.
The concept is simple. If the temperature drops below nine degrees, there are free pints of Guinness on offer. To claim your complimentary beer, head to Guinness' Brewery of Meteorology site next time the temperature reads below nine degrees and find your nearest participating venue.
If you want to stay alert to the temp, you can sign up for notifications that will alert you when it's Guinness time and let you know where you can head down to claim a cold-weather pint.
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 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."
