Guinness

Guinness beer originated in Dublin, Ireland in the brewery of Arthur Guinness. It is still brewed in this city today. The country with the highest consumption of this dry Irish stout is not Ireland, or England, but Nigeria. Yes, I was as surprised as you might be to find out.

The history of this dark Irish stout begins at St. James Gate where Arthur Dublin signed a 9,000 year lease, yes that is right 9,000, year lease on an old run down property in Dublin, This folks is where the story of Guinness begins: New Year's eve 1759!  The rest as they say is history.

Guinness beer is not only good for drinking, Feel free to use it in recipes, like short ribs, salad dressing, and of course, cocktails.
