The production of all Guinness sold in the UK and Ireland was moved to St. James’s Gate Brewery, Dublin. As the warmer weather sets in across Ireland, Guinness has launched a major new ad campaign created by AMV BBDO. Alicia Cliffe, Art Director at AMV BBDO,said: “The idea was based off a truth that (almost) all of us share – when the shade catches up, we move into the sun. A really fun brief to work on with a great team.” This professional campaign titled 'Lovely Day for a Guinness' was published in Ireland in June, 2022. It was created for the brand: Guinness, by ad agency: AMV BBDO. This Integrated medium campaign is related to the Alcoholic Drinks industry and contains 1 media asset. It was submitted over 1 year ago. Before 1939, if a Guinness brewer wished to marry a Catholic, his resignation was requested. According to Thomas Molloy, writing in the Irish Independent, “It had no qualms about selling drink to Catholics but it did everything it could to avoid employing them until the 1960s.”

Guinness Metal Sign - Toucan Weathervane- a cheerful and enjoyable metal sign shows the colorful toucan which is smiling with his eyes as he balances a pint of foam-topped Guinness on his beak.The ‘Lovely Day for a Visit’ summer experience captures the best of the Irish outdoors under one roof. Everyone’s favourites, the beach and the park, have been reimagined throughout the Guinness Storehouse by Irish illustrator and Guinness collaborator Fatti Burke and includes an indoor beach installation, the leafy greens of the Irish park and a bespoke busking piano for visitors to enjoy. My Goodness My Guinness Wall Art- this metal sign features the Guinness brand's iconic harried zookeeper with the words “My Goodness, My Guinness!” emblazoned above. Arguably its biggest change to date, in 1959 Guinness began using nitrogen, which changed the fundamental texture and flavour of the Guinness of the past as nitrogen bubbles are much smaller than CO 2, giving a “creamier” and “smoother” consistency over a sharper and traditional CO 2 taste. This step was taken after Michael Ash – a mathematician turned brewer – discovered the mechanism to make this possible. The breweries pioneered several quality control efforts. The brewery hired the statistician William Sealy Gosset in 1899, who achieved lasting fame under the pseudonym “Student” for techniques developed for Guinness, particularly Student’s t-distribution and the even more commonly known Student’s t-test. The Guinness Storehouse entertainment showcase features great creative talent in the cultural heart of Dublin, in addition to great pints of Guinness. Whether you’re looking for something fun to do this summer in Dublin, no matter the weather, look no further than the Guinness Storehouse, bringing together the very best of the Irish summer under one roof.

Each floor of the storehouse has a theme: The first floor is dedicated to cooperage – the making of wooden barrels, the second floor has the tasting rooms, the third floor features advertising and a theater with classic TV ads, the fourth floor is where you can pull your own beer, and the fifth floor has Arthur's Bar.

They travel the length and breadth of the country in their search for sun, sipping pints in pub gardens, on street corners, and finally ending up at a picturesque coastal spot.
