Speaking ahead of the experience, Andy Cole said; “I’m delighted to be part of the first Matchday at the Guinness Storehouse experience for what’s undoubtedly going to be a great game. Irish football fans are so passionate, so I’m excited to watch it live with them overlooking 360 views of the Dublin skyline!”
More than a match-day, The Home of Guinness is creating an unmissable Premier League occasion for fans to make unforgettable memories that live beyond 90 minutes. Teaming up with Dublin local food favourite, Variety Jones, the Guinness Storehouse is turning the humble pie into a delicious tasting Guinness & Beef matchday pairing for your pint of Guinness or Guinness 0.0.
Keelan Higgs, Head Chef at Variety Jones, said: “Beef & Guinness is a classic combination, but this will be the best pie any football fan has ever tasted. Braised feather blade of beef with savage flavour, caramelised onions for sweetness, notes of malted barley and Guinness flavour bringing depth and richness. Plus, slow cooked shitake mushrooms to really bulk up the savoury flavour and umami - and a big lump of aged cheddar because why not! What more could you want with your pint of Guinness?”
Fans will be in with a chance to win exclusive limited-edition merchandise, access customised Premier League SToutie’s, get their photo taken with the Premier League trophy and even be in with a chance of winning tickets to the Premier League!
