Brooklyn Beckham has once again drawn criticism for his culinary skills, this time for an improperly poured pint of Guinness shared on Instagram. The image, posted to his stories on Thursday, showed the stout in a frosted glass, which ignited a strong reaction from fans of the Irish drink.
The art of pouring Guinness is considered by many to be specific, with a traditional method involving a 90-second wait for the head to settle and the drink to achieve its characteristic ruby black color. The beverage is typically served in a dry imperial pint glass at room temperature or slightly cool. The visual of Beckham's pour led to a flood of comments, with some users accusing him of "rage baiting" and others expressing dismay, with one commenter writing, "The whole of Ireland wept."
However, some defended Beckham, suggesting the drink was still in the process of settling, a common step in the Guinness pouring ritual. This is not the first time Beckham has faced backlash for his Guinness-pouring attempts. Previously, a picture of him preparing the drink alongside then-girlfriend Chloe Moretz also generated negative online commentary.
Defense of Nicola Peltz
In related social media activity, Beckham recently defended his wife, Nicola Peltz, against online criticism of her appearance. In a response to a follower's comment on his Instagram cookery tutorial, which questioned Peltz's appearance and suggested she be fed, Beckham wrote, "Don't ever talk about my wife. She's absolutely beautiful and you should never comment on a woman's body. It's disgraceful."
Peltz, 31, has reportedly lost weight for her role as a ballerina in the indie drama Prima, undergoing a strict diet and intensive training regimen. Beckham and Peltz, who married in 2022, renewed their vows last year.
Beckham also addressed criticisms of his own cooking in the same cookery video, acknowledging, "I'm obviously not a professional chef." Followers had offered advice on his homemade cottage pie, with comments suggesting improvements such as draining the mince properly, cooling it before adding potato, and adding cheese to the topping.
