I love Guinness
The history of Guinness
Guinness is a stout that originated in the brewery of Arthur Guinness at
St. James's Gate, Dublin, Ireland, in the 18th century. It is now owned by
the British multinational alcoholic beverage maker Diageo. It is one of
the most successful alcohol brands worldwide, brewed in almost 50
countries, and available in over 120. Sales in 2011 amounted to
850,000,000 litres. It is the highest-selling beer in both Ireland and the
United Kingdom.
Guinness's flavour derives from malted barley and roasted unmalted barley;
the unmalted barley is a relatively modern addition that became part of
the grist in the mid-20th century. For many years, a portion of aged brew
was blended with freshly brewed beer to give a sharp lactic acid flavour.
Although Guinness's palate still features a characteristic "tang", the
company has refused to confirm whether this type of blending still occurs.
The draught beer's thick and creamy head comes from mixing the beer with
nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
