250 years ago today, Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease on his Dublin brewery at St. James's Gate. Guinness began as a unique Irish brand of beer - and still is distinctly Irish, although it is now a worldwide brand owned by beer and liquor giant Diageo. [SOURCE]
I remember when I used to think Guinness was a thick, filling brew, and didn't like it very much. It wasn't until I went to a Guinness promotional event maybe 7 or 8 years ago and drank a fair amount of the black stuff that I appreciated its flavor and surprising lightness. There was nothing better than enjoying several pints in the Old Country during my trip to Ireland in the summer of 2008.
So let's all raise a pint o' the black stuff to Arthur Guinness on this great day! (by Mike R., 09.26.2009, retrieved in its entireity HERE)
