An updated guide to Guinness and the famous beer’s history is to be published on 27th February, written by a member of the famous brewing family.
World of Guinness,by Rory Guinness, sets out how a beer from Dublin become a globally renowned symbol of Ireland.
From being marketed as a health drink in the 20th century, to becoming the official beer of the Six Nations in 2007, the famous beer has been split, stewed, and used in bakes. It has evolved into a symbol of Irish heritage and international community.
In this illustrated volume, Rory Guinness divulges the rich and endearing legacy of Arthur Guinness, who founded the brewery in 1759, and his inspiring passion for brewing.
Uncover Guinness’s equally celebrated vintage advertisements and the inside workings of its longstanding home at the Storehouse, in Dublin, telling the stories of its first workers, to the modern and innovative methods of brewing it utilises today.

World of Guinness, published by Scala, will be followed by two upcoming books on the Guinness family: The Houses of Guinness, by New York Times bestselling author and journalist Adrian Tinniswood, and Guinness: A Family Succession 1725–1886, by Arthur Edward Guinness.
