Autumn Guinness Inspired Food and Drinks

As the weather changes, nothing beats spending an evening in the kitchen and whipping up some treats for family and friends - or just for yourself! This season, branch out from old favourites and experiment with some Guinness inspired recipes. We’ve selected some moreish dishes and tasty treats ideally suited to the season. So stock up on ingredients and get ready to savour the taste of Guinness in new and inventive ways.

The Dublin Dagwood

Impress guests with this delicious blend of local ingredients. This classic sandwich is perfectly paired with a pint of the black stuff on a crisp autumn day. The pickled red cabbage gives this an autumnal feel and the combination of homemade Irish cheddar jalapeno soda bread and slow braised corned beef is wonderfully filling for anyone getting back into a routine and looking for a satisfying lunch.

Guinness Mac and Cheese

Autumn is a season full of surprises, one of which is the winning combination of Guinness and a weeknight staple. Elevate a classic mac and cheese with umami Guinness notes that provide a welcome taste sensation. This recipe uses Guinness cooking paste to add a touch of difference to a homemade macaroni and cheese. A perfect recipe to gather family around the table on a chilly weekday evening.

Guinness Chicken Burger

Autumn is the perfect season to indulge in comforting yet light fare. If you’re still clinging onto the last of the BBQ weather, try out this tempting Guinness Chicken Burger. Deliciously marinated in Guinness Foreign Stout, layers of cheese, lettuce and tomato create a fusion perfectly paired with an extra helping of Guinness on the side.

Cranberry Walnut Irish Soda Bread Muffins

Combine your morning coffee with a mouth-watering muffin made using Guinness original. These little treats are easy to whip up in relatively little time and a lovely way to wow guests popping over for tea. Guinness infused cranberries are the star of the show here, elevating a traditional Irish soda bread recipe into something new and distinctive.

Cranberry Garlic & Cumin Njahi Stew

For a taste of something different try this Guinness stew inspired by African flavours. Despite its complex taste profile, this stew is easy to make, meaning you can dazzle visitors with this spicy vegetable stew. Just be sure to set aside time the night before to soak some Njahi in Guinness Foreign Extra Stout for a flavourful protein that will form the basis of the stew.

Guinness Bloody Mary

With its combination of rich, earthy flavours, a Bloody Mary is a great autumnal cocktail. The savoury blend of tomato juice, spices and Worcestershire sauce provides a deep, comforting taste profile that wonderfully aligns with the cosy, robust feel of autumn. But rather than relying on the time-worn recipe, try a Bloody Mary topped off with Guinness - the secret ingredient you’ve been missing! Once you have a refreshing sip of the infusion, we doubt you’ll leave it out next time.

Wilde Oscar

Another ideal cocktail to end an autumn day is this Guinness inspired take on an old fashioned. A slow, contemplative drink, an Old Fashioned is made for enjoying while sitting by the fire or watching the leaves change, fitting the relaxing and introspective mood of autumn. The hint of orange from the peel or bitters brings a subtle brightness that complements the season’s shift toward heartier, richer flavours while still feeling fresh.
