There’s a new pint idea floating around Dublin… a 70/30 Guinness, topped up with Guinness Zero.
We had to ask the question:
good idea… or absolute nonsense? 👀
We serve both here at O’Dowd’s, Guinness on tap and Guinness Zero in cans, but we want to know what you think.
Would you try it? Or leave the pint alone?
