Two icons. One delicious collaboration. Guinness and Van Leeuwen are serving lovely days by the scoop. The brands have teamed up to churn out the ultimate ice cream collaboration of the summer and prove that Guinness was made for sunny days too. The launch of the “Lovely Day for a Guinness” ice cream combines Van Leeuwen’s ultra-creamy ice cream with the unforgettable flavor of Guinness, mixed with rich chocolate chunks. It’s bold. It’s unexpected. And it’s everything a summer treat should be.

Inspired by the classic “Lovely Day for a Guinness” ads of the 1950s, the aptly named, limited-edition ice cream pays homage to that same legacy while offering a new way to enjoy the brand during the summertime.

The flavor is packaged in a custom carton, drawing design cues from Guinness’ limited-edition Draught Stout four-pack from this summer — available now on shelves nationwide — that reimagines Guinness’ historic toucan art with a modern American twist. The “Lovely Day for a Guinness” 14-ounce pint of ice cream captures the same eye-catching, visual nod to the warmer months.

“We’re always looking for ways to bring the bold flavor of Guinness to life in new formats, offering a modern twist to a timeless classic,” said Karissa Downer, director of Guinness. “This collaboration with Van Leeuwen captures the simple summer joys that sit at the heart of our ‘A Lovely Day’ campaign — like sharing a scoop of ice cream, a pint of Guinness and time with the people who make those moments matter. It’s one more way to come together over a Guinness and enjoy your lovely days this summer.”

The “Lovely Day for a Guinness” ice cream is available in 14-ounce pints at Van Leeuwen Scoop Shops nationwide for $11.15 or online on Van Leeuwen’s website with shipping nationwide for $12, while supplies last.

Van Leeuwen is known nationally for creative seasonal flavors with a genuine focus on good ingredients and no unnecessary stuff, and for out-of-the-box limited-edition collaboration flavors, such as Hidden Valley Ranch, Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, BIGFACE Coffee Affogato in partnership with NBA All-Star Jimmy Butler and Espresso ice cream in partnership with singer/songwriter Sabrina Carpenter. “At Van Leeuwen, we’re all about making good ice cream that makes you feel good — and what better way to do that than with Guinness? Their bold, smooth flavor is a perfect match for our rich, French-style ice cream, and this collab felt like the kind of lovely-day indulgence that summer calls for,” said Ben Van Leeuwen, CEO and co-founder of Van Leeuwen. “It’s unexpected in the best way — and we think people are going to be surprised by how naturally Guinness and ice cream go together.”
