About this beer
This is the 3rd of 4 labels we have from Guinness. It is one of 3 dry / irish stout labels approved in June 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted. The label carries nitro on the front. It's imported by DIAGEO BEER COMPANY USA; its label was approved for US sale.
The label features the iconic Guinness harp emblem in gold and black at centre-left, with the text "HERE COME THE Irish" in large gold serif lettering positioned to the right. A stylised leprechaun character in white, navy, and green occupies the lower right, rendered in a comic-inked style with exaggerated features and a mischievous pose. The entire composition sits against a deep blue ground with horizontal striations and abstract black scratch marks, creating a dynamic, distressed texture throughout. Gold elements, the harp, and shamrock symbols anchor the design across a full-bleed illustration that reads as a limited-edition 2026 variant.
From the label“Upon opening, the famous round plastic widget in every can unleashes nitrogen through the beer, creating the creamy head and iconic surge that's distinctively Guinness. To rest enjoy: open the can and wait a moment for the nitrogen to release. Pour into a glass tilted at 45 degrees. Watch the surge and settle and then enjoy.”
