Try new limited-edition Guinness ... for free
Be among the first to try a free pint of the limited-edition Guinness 250 Anniversary Stout. Guinness will give away complimentary pints from 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Described as a flavorful carbonated stout with ale-like similarities, the anniversary stout differs from Guinness Draught, with which most Americans are familiar, because it is not nitrogenated. Pints will be $7.50 after 10 p.m. Also, play Guinness games to win prizes such as T-shirts, key chains and more.
