Irish racing fans flocking to Cheltenham this week can enjoy a taste of the world's most expensive pint of Guinness during the four-day festival.
The £20 drink features the famous black stuff, but it is also mixed with 'English sparkling wine' in a concoction the bookmakers behind it are calling 'the finest' pint in the world. According to online bookmaker Fitzdares, they are describing the drink as a 'perfect blend' of English sparkling wine and Irish stout that is perfect for the festival.
The drink is called Club Black Velvet, and the 50:50 mix is odds-on favourite to be the most expensive ale ever served at a racecourse. It will be available in Fitzdares Club at the racecourse and its sister venues in the Cotswolds and London’s Belgravia throughout the race meeting.
