In December 1759 Arthur Guinness, 34 years old brewed a beer relatively new to Ireland that contained roasted barley which gave it a characteristically dark colour.
He brewed the deep, rich beverage so well that he eventually ousted all imports from the Irish market, captured a share of the English trade and revolutionised the brewing industry.
Today, Arthur Guinness would be proud because GUINNESS is now also brewed in 35 countries around the world, but all these overseas brews must contain a flavoured extract brewed at the orginal location.
So the very special brewing skills of Arthur's brewery, remain at the heart of every one of the 10 million pints of GUINNESS enjoyed every day across the world.
