In Ireland I am going to focus on
one beer that has completely dominated the scene, Guinness. Living here in
Canada I have some well cultured friends with expensive beverage tastes, and a
lot of them love Guinness and drink it regularly. However to be honest I didn’t
know Guinness was from Ireland or that it was imported, embarrassing I know. But let’s get past my own lack of knowledge
and continue on into more educated territory, for this one I’m learning right
along with you!

To begin let’s start with some
fun Wikipedia facts, did you know that:
1.
In 1914 Guinness was the largest brewery in the
world! (covering 64 acres)
AND
2.
It is STILL the largest brewer of stout in the
world!
Pretty cool
stuff if I do say so myself.

Okay, okay onto their beer. According
to Wikipedia (man I just LOVE that site…) Guinness Draught is one the most
successful beer brands worldwide and is the bestselling alcoholic drink in Ireland
ever, and if you don’t know anything about the Irish that is saying a lot! Guinness
is sold in cans and bottles and kegs in their various styles and tastes around
the world. To learn more about Guinness
and their brand and beer visit their website http://www.guinness-storehouse.com/en/Index.aspx.
