Guinness Malaysia crowns Matchday Grand Prize winner

Over 2,000 people were present when Guinness Malaysia, the Official Beer of the Premier League, crowned its first Grand Prize winner at the spectacular Guinness Matchday event held at Sentul Depot recently.

The sheer joy on Gregory Isaac’s face was unmistakable when his name was drawn from hundreds of entries, securing the once-in-a-lifetime prize — a fully paid trip for two to watch a Premier League match in England in April 2025.The excitement was palpable throughout the night as fans bonded over their love and passion for football and Guinness. Football-themed activities kept the energy high, as attendees scored exclusive prizes, including complimentary pints of Guinness, signed jerseys from football legends, customisable Guinness jerseys and other limited-edition merchandise.

The air was filled with a tantalising aroma of Guinness-infused delectables as chefs behind Kitchen Mafia, Tipsy Boar, Kao BBQ, Yat Sing and Caketella presented unique dishes that embodied the distinct Guinness flavour.

Shaun Lim, Marketing Manager of Wheat Beer, Stout, and Diageo Brands at Heineken Malaysia Berhad, reflected on the spirit of the event: “Guinness Matchday is more than just football — it’s about bringing people together through shared passions. Whether you’re a football fanatic or a Guinness lover, it’s a celebration of the perfect blend of the beautiful game and the perfect pint. Fans may debate their favourite football teams, but everyone agrees: it’s always a Lovely Game for a Guinness. 

“We’re thrilled to have our first grand prize winner and can’t wait to see them enjoy the unforgettable Premier League experience that Guinness made possible. Guinness is always looking for new and exciting ways to bring our brand values of power, goodness, and communion to life in an engaging and immersive way. Our season-long Guinness x Premier League celebration is the perfect occasion for fans to come together for an authentic Guinness experience and create unforgettable memories.”

The night was made more exhilarating with the live viewing of two Premier League matches broadcast on a massive 8m x 14m screen. Regardless of club allegiance, fans cheered for the outstanding footballers with their favourite Guinness in hand.

The celebration doesn’t end here! Two more Grand Prize winners will be selected before the end of the League season, so make your way to any of the nationwide Guinness Viewing Parties at your favourite bars and pubs.
