Guinness has unveiled the quality measures they've put in place as pubs and restaurants across Ireland prepare to reopen this summer.
Some 195 “Guinness experts” visited over 10,000 pubs across the island to carry out rigorous cleaning for over 70,000 lines.
They used a special line cleaning system called Surge 20X which was developed by Guinness in 2016.
The Surge 20X cleans by recirculating rapid flows of water and detergent mix.
Guinness Global Head of Quality at Diageo, Stephen Kilcullen said: “Our dedicated Guinness Quality teams are on the road, calling to our licensed partners, undertaking a series of rigorous checks with the utmost care and individual attention, guaranteeing that people all over Ireland can enjoy a fresh, beautiful pint of Guinness when restaurants and pubs reopen.”
Managing Director of Diageo Ireland said “Guinness is committed to the success of restaurants and pubs across Ireland as they begin to safely reopen while adhering to government guidelines.
“Alongside the comprehensive quality plan to guarantee beautiful pints, we have been providing the trade with significant levels of support on all aspects relating to their evolving needs, including the establishment of a €1.5 million Guinness Fund for bar staff and communities impacted by COVID-19.”
