Guinness Tap for a 50th Birthday

Client

Private client celebrating their 50th birthday in style with a garden party and tipi setup.

Brief

The client, a true Guinness lover, was planning a milestone celebration in their back garden with the help of an events team who designed a beautiful tipi party. Their one non-negotiable? Fresh Guinness on tap—properly poured and pub-perfect.

They wanted the Guinness to be the real deal, not a compromise. We were happy to oblige.

Our Solution

As nominated Guinness installers for Diageo, we knew exactly what was needed to meet expectations.

We supplied and installed a short-line Guinness draught system, specifically chosen for:

• Freshness – short beer lines mean less travel from keg to tap
• Perfect temperature and pressure control
• Compact setup ideal for garden installations

We arrived the day before the event to complete the full setup, including:

• Guinness tap installation
• Gas and cooling systems
• Branded Guinness glassware for the full experience

We tested the pour multiple times to ensure that iconic two-part serve was spot on.

Result

On the day of the party, guests were blown away to find a perfectly pouring Guinness tap in a back garden.

Many remarked it was "the best pint of Guinness they've ever had", thanks to our line cleanliness, calibration, and attention to detail.

The host couldn’t have been happier:

“It felt like we were drinking in a pub, not a garden. It really made the party.”

From the look to the taste, the Guinness was a hit—and one of the standout features of the entire event.
