This March, Guinness is reuniting with PopUp Bagels to introduce their Guinness Chocolate Stout Cake Schmear, infused with Guinness Draught and inspired by the rich, indulgent flavors of Guinness Chocolate Cake. The limited-edition drop brings one of Guinness' most beloved recipes to the breakfast table, proving it's always a lovely day for a Guinness, even before noon.
Beginning March 12 through March 25, the Guinness schmear will be available at PopUp Bagels locations nationwide, with select shops offering samples of tiny pints of Guinness Draught and Guinness 0.

Show Your 'Stache. Give Back.
A good pint of Guinness is made possible by the people behind the bar.
Guinness is once again supporting the hospitality industry through the return of the 'Stache for Charity initiative, inspired by the iconic Guinness 'stache -- that unmistakable hint of foam left behind after the first sip. Fans are invited to grow one, draw one, sip one, or throw one on, then post on Facebook or Instagram using #GuinnessGivesBack and tag @GuinnessUS. For every qualifying post shared now through March 31, 2026, Guinness will donate $1 (up to $50,000) to support, educate, and advance friends & partners in the hospitality industry. Because St. Patrick's Day wouldn't be what it is without the bartenders who make it happen.†
