Pubs and bars to spend ONE BILLION, FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-THREE MILLION, AND FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND seconds (or 49.2 years) pouring Guinness this Paddy’s day

It’s estimated 13 million pints of Guinness will be poured on St. Patrick’s Day (Saturday 17 March). And each one – according to the Guinness Academy – should take precisely 119.5 seconds to pour. Which means the world’s bar staff would spend a collective ONE BILLION, FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-THREE MILLION, AND FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND seconds (or 49.2 years) pouring Guinness pints this Paddy’s day.

The bizarre calculation has been revealed by BB Foodservice – who are running a special offer price of £9.99 on cases of bottled Guinness* ahead of St. Patrick’s Day. Available to order for collection or delivery via phone at 01738 646666 or online at www.bbfoodservice.co.uk

Tony Holmes, sales director, BB Foodservice (Bestway Wholesale) said: “With Paddy’s Day falling on a Saturday this year, the opportunity for pubs and bars is enormous. To help them capitalize, we’ve got a fantastic deal on bottled Guinness – best served straight from the bottle, not poured. Which means bar staff will have to find something else to do with that 119.5 seconds!”
