Guinness is infusing holiday celebrations with warmth and indulgence this season by combining its iconic stout with Levain Bakery's famous cookies in a limited-edition collaboration. The pairing highlights how the robust, roasted coffee and chocolate notes of Guinness Draught Stout complement the rich, decadent flavors of Levain Bakery's cookies — especially seasonal varieties like Dark Chocolate Peppermint. Available exclusively at special pop-up events and select brewery locations, the collectible cookie tins, and accompanying festive experiences bring a unique and interactive element to the brand's seasonal offerings.
The Guinness x Levain Bakery pop-up events are scheduled to run in Boston and New York City. These events feature exclusive Guinness merchandise, interactive tiny pubs, and a chance to savor the limited-edition treats. Additionally, Guinness Open Gate Breweries in Baltimore and Chicago are amplifying holiday cheer with themed workshops and markets.
