The "Archive" at the Guinness Storehouse located in the
heart of the St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin.


Unfortunately i do not know what is shown there
because we did not do the tour and just had a quick
look around and bought some t-shirts in the merchandise store.

*****************

Guinness
is a dry stout that originated in Arthur Guinness's St.
James's Gate Brewery in Dublin, Ireland. The beer is
based upon the porter style that originated in London
in the early 1700s. It is one of the most successful
beer brands in the world, being exported worldwide. The
distinctive feature in the flavour is the roasted
barley which remains unfermented. For many years a
portion of the beer was aged to give a sharp lactic
flavour, but Guinness has refused to confirm if this
still occurs. The thick creamy head is the result of
the beer being forced—under high pressure—through five
tiny holes in a metal disc in the tap. It is extremely
popular with the Irish and is the best-selling
alcoholic drink of all time in Ireland, where Guinness
& Co. makes almost €2 billion annually.

Arthur Guinness started brewing ales initially in
Leixlip, then at the St. James's Gate Brewery, Dublin,
Ireland from 1759. He signed a 9,000 year lease at £45
per annum for the unused brewery. Ten years later in
1769 Guinness exported their product for the first
time, when six and a half barrels were shipped to
England.

Although sometimes believed to have originated the
stout style of beer, the first use of the word stout in
relation to beer was in a letter in the Egerton
Manuscript dated 1677, almost 50 years before Arthur
Guinness was born. The first Guinness beers to use the
term were Single Stout and Double Stout in the 1840s.
Guinness brewed their last porter in 1974.

Guinness Stout is also brewed under licence
internationally in several countries, including
Nigeria and Indonesia. The unfermented but hopped
Guinness wort extract (the essence) is shipped from
Dublin and blended with a beer brewed locally.

The Guinness brewery in Park Royal, London closed in
2005. The production of all Guinness sold in the UK was
switched to St. James's Gate Brewery Dublin.
