Conor McGregor says his Forged Irish Stout is 'better' than Guinness in bold social media claim

Conor McGregor has taken to the social media platform 'X' to express his opinion of his alcohol product Forged Irish Stout.

In a post, the former UFC champion claimed that Forged Irish Stout is "better tasting" than the renowned Irish stout Guinness and that people are "switching over" to his brand once they have tasted the drink.

The tweet read: "Forged Stout is everywhere from a branding standpoint atm.

"But the product itself is the real magic. It’s a quality Stout. Simple as. Its place is well earned.

"In regard to the premises we are in currently, we are in 100 on premise accounts in Ireland and 400 off premise. In the UK we are in 700 on premise accounts and 400 off premise. In Canada we are in 300 off premise accounts with on premise starting next week. All of which growing rapidly! In the USA, we are only scratching the surface! The USA market is DEMANDING Forged Irish Stout and we will deliver! 150 on premise accounts and 350 off premise accounts in the USA currently.

"Growing fast and done in the blink of an eye they woke up and we were everywhere! 

"Never in the history of Irish Stout has a contender emerged at this pace. Or any pace for that matter. Not since McGregor / Aldo has a contender arose like this.

"The Forged Irish Stout Freight train!!!! We back grassroots all the way to World titles. We support community. Family. Hard work. The takeover, baby! Welcome to the new age"
