The menu item is arriving to celebrate the Six Nations Rugby championship and starts off with [premium beef marinated in Guinness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-cuisine-and-guinness) before being used to craft a kofta kebab. The meat is then wrapped in a handmade flatbread and topped with a Guinness chipotle glaze and a mint yogurt sauce, and is perfect for pairing with a pint of Guinness, Guinness 0.0% or Baby Guinness cocktail. Brand & Marketing Manager at BOX Sports Bars Tom Mayer-Jones spoke on the Guinness kebab saying, "Our new Guinness kebab is a playful nod to our Irish friends ahead of the Six Nations, whilst also tapping into our favourite night out food as Brits – the kebab! We’ve brought these two things together in a way that feels true to BOX – bold, social, and a meal designed to be enjoyed alongside big sporting moments. We’re inviting everyone down to BOX to watch the rugby and enjoy our new menu item.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 8.3/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 63% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Beer-infused Cuisine:** Exploring the intersection of alcoholic beverages and gourmet foods is capturing interest, as exemplified by the stout-marinated kebabs offering a new taste experience. - **Interactive Dining Experiences:** The pairing of menu items with popular events like sports championships is becoming a trend, creating opportunities for enhanced social dining moments. - **Cross-cultural Fusion Foods:** Fusion dishes, such as the Guinness kebab with its blend of Irish stout and Middle Eastern kebab traditions, are altering traditional culinary boundaries and delighting diverse palates. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality:** Sports bars and similar venues are innovating by integrating themed menu offerings tied to major events, enhancing customer engagement through specialized food experiences. - **Food and Beverage:** Infusing alcoholic beverages into traditional recipes introduces a new category of dishes that can attract adventurous eaters looking for unique and complex flavors. - **Event Catering:** The demand for themed catering that aligns with specific cultural or sporting events is providing opportunities for businesses to offer customized and memorable dining experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ice Cream-Inspired Stout Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brewdog-x-mackies-of-scotland.md) - [Reimagined Classic Beer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-lovely-day.md) - [Private Label Stout Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mulligans-stout.md) - [Sporty Whiskey Cocktail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jameson-irish-goal.md) - [Low-Calorie Non-Alcoholic Draughts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guinness-0.md) - [Stout-Flavored Pork Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finnebrogue-and-guinness.md) - [Beer-Branded Foodservice Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guinness-sauces.md) - [Malt Drink Brand Stouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supermalt-stout.md) - [Savory Stout Beer Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steak-guinness-pie.md)
