Brooklyn Beckham has been accused of “ragebaiting” the nation of Ireland with his latest Instagram post.
The youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham is well known for his love of food and drink, and frequently shares cooking videos online – many of which spark enraged comments over his technique.
Yet it wasn't the 27-year-old's culinary abilities, but the pour on a pint of Guinness that infuriated his followers.
Posting on his Instagram Story on Thursday, Brooklyn shared a picture of a pint of the Irish stout with a muddled brown tinge between the head and body, and the bottom portion of the glass frosted.
In the comment section beneath the post, Brooklyn, who is currently estranged from his family, was accused of sharing the picture of his pint as “ragebait for Guinness drinkers”.
“Whoever pulled that so-called pint should be sacked,” one commenter wrote, while another said: “Looks like it hasn't been poured properly or something is wrong with it.”
Another comment read: “OMG Nooooooooo, the whole of Ireland wept,” with a second echoing: “Waiting for the entire Irish community to comment.”
The pour on a pint of Guinness is a hotly measured topic online, with opacity, a sharp line between the head and body all being considered markers of a good pint and an entire Instagram page dedicated to “S*** London Guinness”.
While Brooklyn has previously appeared on cooking segments on TV shows like Today and released his own range of hot sauces, the influencer has frequently come under fire for his cooking technique.
Last year, Brooklyn left his followers perplexed after he shared a video making tomato pasta on a yacht, in which he cooked the pasta in water from the sea. He repeated this technique in another video earlier this month, leading fans to speculate that he had filmed the clip knowing it would infuriate his viewers.
In the comment section beneath his most recent cookery video, which saw Brooklyn making a cottage pie, Brooklyn was quick to remind his followers that he wasn't a trained chef and didn't claim to be.
“I'm obviously not a professional chef haha x just love cooking and eating,” he wrote. ”Also if anyone has noticed I LOVE making easy comfort food x my favourite.”
