    Expensive bit of plywood. A single solidarity can of Guinness included. That’s hilarious.... Wouldn’t kill them to add a 6-pack

    Brother received one of these from me, everything almost loose in the box, two of the cans exploded and empty during transport... Very poor packing

    Email today warning of the possibility of the winter spiced ale cans exploding. Helpline closed by the time I could ring. Did anyone manage to get the instructions what to do with it before they collect it?

    Rang me, put it in a fridge/outside, cool temperature, handle with a heavy towel over the top of it.

    The most insane email I have ever seen. First, if you drank it no problem! second, if you didn't ....it might explode ! If you do have one , give us an aul ring sometime.....

    Explode! Gardai ? Bomb squad?

    Incidentally, it is a nice beer.

    But if you hear an explosion in Malahide ...its me breaking my a**e laughing.

    I still have 2 tinnies....I can feel compensation coming on :D:D

    Exploding Guinness? Normally that doesn’t happen until 12 hours after consumption

    Guinness called me earlier double checking that my replacement hamper arrived and wanted to check what broke initially so they could prevent it in the future, pretty good support from them for these issues

    Guinness fudge
    Guinness Salted Caramel Chocolate
    Set of 6 old advertising Guinness coasters
    8 of the 500ml draught cans
    Guinness bar towel
    Guinness tote bag

    Not bad at all considering I also got the original hamper half price.

    I got mine half price. When they (2) arrived, the packing was appalling...boxes damaged, contents loose etc. I complained .....got replacements. Now I am in line for a goodies bag. :D


    Question? I have two tinnies...will I get two goody bags?

    Afraid I junked all details. It was the one that had a spiced winter ale in it (obviously). If you check the Guinness site, they should be visible. There were at least 2 sets that had it.

    They rang the other day, I said I had received a replacement.

    Just received a hamper from them with the aforementioned guinness and towel etc, AND I have received a full refund! This customer service is excessively good... Two hampers (sans one can that exploded) and an apology gift pack and a refund.

    Very impressed

    Bargain of the year 😂
