Guinness Beer

Cristhian Montaño Maida

Guinness is a dark beer elaborated for the
first time by brewer Arthur Guinness at
the brewery called St. James's Gate
Brewery located in the city of Dublin,
Ireland.

Guinness is made since 1759. It is one of

the best-known beer brands and is
exported to most countries.

One of the most outstanding

characteristics of this beer is the thick and
creamy foam, result of a mixture of
nitrogen added in the packaging.
 Composition
Guinness malt beer consists of:
water, barley, malt, hops and
brewer's yeast. It is mentioned
that water from the Wicklow
Mountains is used in its
preparation. Malted barley is
lightly roasted to give Guinness
beer its distinctive dark ruby
color and distinctive flavor. It is
pasteurized and filtered.
History
Arthur Guinness, creator of Guinness beer, was born in Celbridge, in 1725. His father
was a servant of the land of the archbishop of Cashel, Dr. Arthur Price, and he
produced beer for farm workers. When his father died, he left £ 100 to each of the two
young Guinness, this money inspired the young man to lease a brewery in Leixlip, in
1756.
Three years later, Arthur left the brewery run by a younger brother, and seized another
factory in St. James, Dublin. In which on December 31, 1759 Arthur signed a lease for
9,000 years. He started brewing this way, and in eight years he was the master of the
Brewers Corporation of Dublin.
In 1778, Guinness began brewing porter beer, a darker beer containing roasted barley
and exploited Ireland's new canals to expand its market, and over time the San James
factory became the largest porter brewery in the world .
Today it is manufactured in 35 countries around the world.
 Arthur’s Day
Arthur's Day is a holiday that was held for the first time
on September 27, 2009 to commemorate the 250th
anniversary of Guinness beer, the Irish national product
par excellence. The success was such that the brand did
not hesitate to turn it into an annual event.

Arthur's Day is already a date marked in the calendars of

the Irish, with a circle almost as big as the one around
March 17, national holiday of St Patricks Day.
This celebration extends even to countries like
Singapore, Italy and many others.
