Vintage Guinness Brewery Double Deck Playing Cards c1971 “Guinness For You”

Step back into a rare chapter of brewing and design history with this vintage Guinness Brewery double deck of playing cards produced around 1971. Each full deck carries the playful spirit of its era with its mirrored pint glass motif rendered in a bold 1970s palette of gold, black, and orange alongside the slogan “Guinness For You”. This phrase was the title of a 20-minute promotional film released that year, reflecting a creative moment in Guinness advertising that celebrated the craft of brewing through artistic vision rather than old-world slogans. Here is a piece of breweriana that marries conviviality with design history, perfect for collectors and fans of vintage playthings alike.

Condition
This is a genuine vintage double deck dating to the early 1970s, offered here in good, played-with condition. Both decks include the full compliment of 52 cards plus two jokers each, and the original box shows signs of age yet remains structurally sound. Gentle handling marks and age-related wear are visible, contributing to the set’s character and story.

Why One Should Buy It
For aficionados of breweriana, 1970s design, or carefully curated vintage playing cards, this Guinness set offers narrative depth as well as nostalgic charm. The “Guinness For You” slogan marks a transitional era between long-standing promotional language and a more experimental visual culture, making these cards a meaningful piece of creative and cultural history. Whether displayed with pride or brought out for a lighthearted game, they invite both conversation and celebration of brewing heritage.

May these decks spark many stories and smiles in their next home.
