“I’ll Have a Guinness”
by admin on Sep.06, 2012, under Favorites
I’m not a big consumer of ale, lager, or beer, but I know some great clothes when I see them and I do like the style of the “Guinnesswear” offered by Shop Irish!
Here’s a bit of history about the Guinness brand:
The most famous Dry Stout in Ireland, and in arguably the world, is Guinness . Arthur Guinness started his stout, or porter as it was then called, business in 1759 using an inheritance of what would be $150 US by today’s standards. More incredibly, he signed a 9,000 year lease on a run down brewery now known as St. James Gate in Dublin. The original rent on the lease was about $70 per year and Arthur Guinness sought such long lease to ensure there was always a supply of of the essential resource for brewing stout – water.
By 1930, nearly one out of every ten Dublin men depended on the Guinness brewery directly or indirectly to earn their livelihood. In addition, Arthur and his successors set the Guinness -employee standard of living well above local expectations at the time. Wages were between 10% and 20% above the average in Dublin, and paid vacations, free medical care, homes and education were all provided. And to top it off, workers received free Guinness to drink every day. Guinness is a great Irish beer with an intriguing history.
