The Real History Behind Guinness Beer
Arthur Guiness was the name, Guinness Beer was his gain. In 1759, Athur Guiness traveled through the gate of an ill-equipped old brewery, which was located on a small strip along James Street, in Dublin. Her signed a lease for 45 pounds per assum. His friends and family thought he was crazy to buy such a property, since beer wasn’t very popular during that time to begin with. Even so, Arthur Guinness took his chances. He had to first decide if he would use “porter” beer, or a more traditional Dublin Ale. He went with porter, smart thinking! He managed to brew it so richly that he ended up beating out other imported beers and then went on to capture part of the English market, making history in the brewing industry.
In 1825, Guiness began getting exported to other Countries around the world, and finally in 1823, the Guiness brewery in St. James Gate became the biggest brewery in the world! Impressive, right? Today, Guiness brewery is no longer the biggest brewery in the world, but it still remains one of the largest stout breweries land and one of the most well known. It is brewed in over 35 Countries in the world! When people pick up a Guiness beer, they are always satisfied.
