Guinness

Dark Dublin brew

Guinness is a dark Irish stout beer, distinctive for its nearly black color and creamy tan head.

Brewed in Dublin since 1759, it became synonymous with Irish pubs worldwide: Let's grab a Guinness.

The Guinness World Records book, originally created by the brewery to settle pub disputes, is a separate but related cultural institution.
