Book Synopsis
The perfect gift book for Guinness lovers, served here. How did a beer from Dublin become a globally renowned symbol of Ireland? With just £100 in his pocket, Arthur Guinness left behind his family's small breweryin County Kildare to seek his fortunes in Dublin. Acquiring the ill-equipped St James' Gate brewery in 1759, he began to produce a porter beer that was to become world famous. Rory Guinness, scion of the famous brewing family, has written the insider's guide to the world of Guinness. He surveys the family history, the unique brewing process, the brewery's architecture and the legendary advertising, revealing how Guinness and its people became interwoven into the fabric of Dublin life and created a brewing legacy that continues to evolve. Today this beer is more popular than ever, with Guinness now the official beer of the English Premier League, and Guinness Zero reaching new markets. This is an expanded and redesigned edition of Rory Guinness's classic short introduction, illustrated with rare archival images, new photography of the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin and a selection of Guinness's witty advertisements. Published in association with the Guinness Storehouse, it is presented for the first time in hardback.About the Author
