The tea has sort of a pungent, brisky, malty flavor that balances well with the caramel notes of an amber." This beer boasts the same base as the brewery's own [American Amber Ale](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowabv-brown-ales) and this fresh new offering was inspired by a customer growing up in Dublin across from Guinness's main brewery and remembering his mother having tea, along with the scents of the brewery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Tea-infused Beers:** Breweries can explore tea-infused beers to add new flavors and tap into the growing market of tea drinkers who also drink beer. - **Cross-industry Collaborations:** Collaborations between breweries and tea companies can create unique hybrid products that appeal to a wider audience. - **Holiday-themed Beverages:** Breweries can capitalize on holiday-themed beverages to attract consumers looking for new and unique ways to celebrate special occasions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Craft Brewing:** Craft breweries can infuse tea into their beers to appeal to tea-drinking consumers and differentiate themselves in a crowded market. - **Tea Production:** Tea companies can collaborate with breweries to create new hybrid products and expand their market beyond traditional tea drinkers. - **Beverage Retail:** Retailers can stock holiday-themed beverages like the Guinness Breakfast Tea Amber to attract consumers looking for unique and seasonal products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Alcoholic Cold-Brew Coffee Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cold-brew-coffee-beer.md) - [Bubble Tea-Inspired Stouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-tea-inspired-stout.md) - [Festive Holiday Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festive-holiday-beer.md) - [Stout-Flavored Pork Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finnebrogue-and-guinness.md) - [Irish Stout Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guinness-unveiled.md) - [Collaboration Tea-Infused Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teainfused-beers.md) - [Green Tea-Infused Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dad-daves-brewing-gabs-2023-boba-beer.md) - [Stout-Flavored Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lovely-day-for-a-guinness-ice-cream.md) - [Whiskey-Infused Coffee Stouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiskey-infused-coffee-stout.md)
