GUINNESS

Founded in 1759, the historic Guinness brewery in Dublin was founded by Arthur Guinness. He was the son of an Irish brewer. The brewery has become a global company with the acquisition in 1986 of Distillers Company, a Scottish group with particular brands of whiskeys: Chivas Regal and Ballantine's for example. Guinness is a stout, that is to say, a black beer with a white thick foam. Guinness is strongly linked to the history of Ireland, is one of its symbols at an international level.

It is sold in Ireland nearly 1 million pints of Guinness every day, and 5 million worldwide roughly 2,500 hectoliters.
