The time 17:59 is a play on the year 1759 when Ireland's famous drink was first brewed in Dublin.


It features a gold-suited troupe of acrobats fired out of tubes bouncing against giant drums to represent the bubbles inside a "surging" pint of Guinness.

The TV campaign, which will air for six weeks, forms part of a wider marketing push using the strapline "17:59. It's Guinness Time".

"5pm to 8pm is a key trading period for licensees with 34% of all beer sold during this time," said Paul Cornell, the marketing manager for Guinness at Diageo GB.
