Guinness Malaysia announced its Top 30 Perfect Pint Bars 2026, recognising outlets across the country for consistently serving quality Guinness Draught.
The list is the result of the nationwide Rate Your Pint campaign, which invited drinkers to take on the role of Chief Pint Officer and rate the Guinness Draught served at participating outlets based on three checks: Serve, including a clean glass and Guinness coaster; Tilt, where the creamy head holds without spilling; and Taste, looking for a balanced and smooth pint.
The final Top 30 was determined through a combination of more than 7,000 ratings from 3,480 consumers across 677 outlets, alongside Guinness Perfect Pint quality assessments by the Star Academy team.
