Guinness Red pub locator - find your local
Those of you with a longer memory may remember my struggles back in February when I was trying to get to grips with pulling together an online map to show you all the pubs that serve Guinness Red in the country. Well eventually we have got there and I am delighted to let you know that the Guinness Red Pub Locator is now up and running
The link above will take you to a special section of your Guinness.com website where you will see the page below. This gives you the opportunity to find out more about Guinness Red but most importantly - will tell you where you can buy it
First you need to click on one of the regions of the map (e.g. West Midlands) from which you will then be sent to the page below which will show you all the pubs that currently stock Guinness Red in that region. From here you can search in 3 ways:
1) By postcode
2) By pub name
3) Zooming in and scrolling around the map
If you chose to enter a postcode or pub name, the list of available pubs on the left hand side will automatically update with every character inputted. Click on the pint and you will see the address and telephone number.
If you can’t find the pub you want then there are 4 things you can do:
1) Check that you have inputted the correct postcode or pub name
2) If you live on the border between two regions (e.g. East & West Midlands) then try switching to the adjacent region and searching pubs there
3) Come back next week! We update pubs every week so will constantly be adding to this list
4) Find an excuse to visit a mate who lives near a Guinness Red stocking pub, persuade them to go to the pub (shouldn’t be too hard), then sit back and enjoy
Finally one quick note. Google have a global policy that means that they will not allow their maps to be used in conjunction with alcohol websites by anyone under 21. This is their global policy which must be observed by everyone. So, if you are aged between 18 and 21, then unfortunately you will have to fwd to a mate to advise you on your Guinness Red stocking local!
I hope you all enjoy it - been a bit of a mission but we have got there in the end! Apologies in advance if you object to my geographical division of the country - let me know if you feel strongly and we can make sure we get everything where we should!
