Guinness Teams Up with the Premier League: A Toast to Football
In an exciting development for both football fans and beer enthusiasts, Guinness has officially announced its partnership with the English Premier League (EPL), the world’s most valuable football league. This collaboration, set to kick off with the 2024/25 season, marks a significant stride for the iconic Irish stout as it aims to intertwine two beloved elements: the beautiful game and the beautiful pint.

Cheers to a New Era
Guinness will become the official beer partner of the Premier League, gaining global rights and the opportunity for expansive marketing and creative advertising initiatives. The esteemed brand has made it clear that their mission is to “bring together the beautiful game and the beautiful pint,” while promoting the message of responsible drinking. To further support this commitment, Guinness 0.0, their non-alcoholic offering, has been named the ‘official non-alcoholic beer of the Premier League’.
Will Brass, Chief Commercial Officer of the Premier League, expressed his enthusiasm regarding the partnership, stating, > “We are delighted to partner with Guinness, the world’s leading stout, whose team have consistently demonstrated world-class creativity, innovation, and community storytelling through its marketing in sports and more broadly.” This sentiment underscores the importance of collaboration between brands and sports leagues, especially in promoting shared values and engaging fan experiences.
Elevating Match-day Experience
As the Premier League draws closer to its new season, fans are already buzzing with excitement. Over the next three months, while the UEFA European Championship unfolds in Germany, Guinness will be unveiling a new campaign aimed at enhancing match-day fan engagement in pubs and retail venues. The initiative not only aims to create vibrant atmospheres where fans can share the game with their communities but also to celebrate the culture surrounding football.
