a smooth Irish stout known for its creamy texture, roasted malt character, and notes of coffee, cocoa, and caramel with a dry, balanced finish. Guinness was founded by Arthur Guinness in Dublin, Ireland, in 1759, when he famously signed a 9,000-year lease on the St. James’s Gate Brewery. Over the centuries, Guinness grew from a local Dublin brewery into one of the world’s most recognizable beer brands. Its signature dark color comes from roasted barley, while the famous cascading pour and creamy head are created using nitrogen. Guinness Draught remains the brewery’s iconic expression and a staple of Irish pub culture worldwide.
