“We believe that life is best enjoyed with an easy-going positive outlook, a playful spirit, and an openness to flow smoothly with new possibilities. Guinness Smooth is the perfect blend of rich malty notes balanced with sweetness to create a flavourful beer with an extra smooth finish,” said Murage.

She added that the event set to kick off over the weekend is basically a celebration of Guinness Smooth where their consumers get to have a look and feel of what the beer offers beyond just the great taste. 

“We have curated this event to celebrate the smoothness of our beer and give our drinkers nothing but good vibes so they can create beautiful meaningful experiences together whilst they enjoy the delicious and smooth taste of Guinness Smooth,” she said.

Guinness Smooth was first launched in Kenya back in 2019 by the Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL) in addition to the Guinness Family in Kenya. It was still around that time that KBL had launched Guinness Hop House 13 lager, and Guinness Extra Foreign Stout, which brings the Guinness brands that KBL sells in Kenya to three.

Guinness Smooth offers all the character of Guinness stout with an extra smooth finish, rich in malty flavors and hints of sweetness which balance perfectly in the swirl of countless minute bubbles.

The beer was initially launched in Dublin in 2003 and has been developed by the Guinness master brewers with the support of KBL’s brewing team in Kenya.
