  • Arthur Guinness Was Born from Humble Beginnings on September 24, 1725 in Celbridge, County Kildare, Ireland
    The chronicles of Arthur Guinness, founder of a world‐famous beer: Arthur Guinness was born from humble beginnings on September 24, 1725 in Celbridge, County Kildare, Ireland. He inherited 100 pounds in 1752, which is approximately 21,000 U.S. dollars (2019) from his godfather, the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Cashel Arthur Price legacy. Arthur at age 27 used it to set up his own ale small scale brewery in Leixlip, County Kildare. At age 34 his floundering brewing business was moved to the capital of Ireland, Dublin. Arthur found an old dilapidated brewery and was able to sign a 9000‐year lease on December 31, 1759 for four acres at St. James Gate. Note, the lease was voided when the company purchased 50 more acres. <guinness.com> In 1761 Arthur married Olivia Whitmore. The couple had 21 children (10 survived into adulthood). <thrillist.com> The family lived in Beaumont House on a 51‐acre estate in County Dublin. In 1767 he was elected Master of the Dublin Corporation of Brewers, and by 1769 he was exporting his ale beer to England and his business began to grow. <guinness.com> In 1799 porter beer became popular in London and Ireland. Arthur stops brewing ale and moves to perfecting a stout black (ruby red) beer with creamy foam. (The tint comes from roasted barley and you can see the tint if you hold your pint up into the light.) (The foam comes from being low in carbon dioxide and high in nitrogen.) "Guinness was a Protestant, a Unionist and against Home Rule." He was also for reducing a tax on beer; hence he supported an Irish politician and member of the Irish House of Commons who campaigned for the Irish Parliament during the 1780s and 1790s.<irishcentral.com> He was a supporter of social welfare, donating to charities, Gaelic arts, supporting Irish identity and advocating for tolerance regarding polarizing communities through religion.

  • The History of Guinness
    Archive Fact Sheet: The History of Guinness The 18th Century and Arthur Guinness In 1759, at the age of 34, Arthur Guinness signed a lease for the St. James’s Gate Brewery, Dublin. He leased the brewery for 9000 years at an annual rent of £45. The brewery was only 4 acres in size, disused, and had little brewing equipment. Despite this, Arthur quickly built up a successful trade and by 1769 he had begun to export his beer to England. Arthur Guinness began by brewing ale at St. James’s Gate. In the 1770s, he began brewing ‘porter’, a new type of English beer, invented in London in 1722 by a brewer named Ralph Harwood. Porter was different from ale because it was brewed using roasted barley, giving the beer a dark ruby colour and rich aroma. Arthur’s porter was successful and in 1799 he decided to stop brewing ale altogether, and concentrate on porter alone. Arthur Guinness brewed different types of porter to suit different tastes, including a special export beer called ‘West India Porter’. This beer is still brewed today and is now known as GUINNESS Foreign Extra Stout. It accounts for 45% of all GUINNESS sales globally and is popular in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean. By the time Arthur died in 1803, he had built a successful brewing business, with a promising export trade.

Initial plans were laid out in 1664 and completion of the sides of the square was completed in the mid 1700s. Although initially designed as a public space, by the turn of the 19th century, the space had become a private park, accessible only to keyholders, or residents of St. Stephen’s Green itself. In the 1860s, a campaign began in The Dublin Builder Ireland’s leading architectural journal, to convert the park into a public facility worthy of a capital city.
