King Charles poured a perfect pint at London’s new Guinness brewery, praised for his technique and engagement.

King Charles was praised for pulling a “perfect” pint of Guinness during the opening of the £73 million Guinness Open Gate Brewery in London’s Covent Garden. Guided by ambassador Leo Ravina, he followed the precise pour method—stopping when the glass was three-quarters full—earning approval from Ravina. The finished pint was decorated with “Merry Christmas” and a holly sprig using edible dyes before he sampled several brews, including a porter, winter warmer, and apricot sour, which he noted did not taste like beer. He toured the facility, met hospitality training program graduates, and viewed local produce from Gilroy’s Loft during a downpour. The visit highlighted the site’s role as a hospitality education hub and community space.
