Another excuse for a pint


2009 sees Guinness celebrate the 250th anniversary of brewing at their renowned St James’s Gate Brewery in Dublin. Guinness founder Arthur Guinness leased St James’s Gate back in 1759, for a period of 9000 years, and the site has been the home of Guinness ever since. Diageo, which own Guinness, announced that there will be a year-long global celebrations throughout 2009 there as a way to say ‘thank you’ to Arthur Guinness and to Dublin for 250 years of brewing there and to look forward to the next 250 years. Those lucky enough to be able to visit can discover what goes into the making of each and every pint and experience every detail of the world renowned Guinness product, including learning how to pull the perfect pint like a master.
