OUR STORY
It takes adventurous spirit and irrepressible ingenuity to do things the Guinness® way. From our humble beginnings in 1759 to the present day, we've gone to extraordinary lengths to bring you exceptional beer. But, while many milestones mark the way on our long and illustrious path, we're not ones to rest on our laurels. As we like to put it: our greatest work is yet to come.

With Guinness® being enjoyed all over the world every day, we're continuing to experiment and innovate in true pioneering style. Our brewing methods might have been passed down since Arthur's time, but they never stop evolving. We've got a lot more beer to brew.
