The chronicles of Arthur , founder of a world‐famous beer:  Arthur Guinness was born from humble beginnings on September 24, 1725 in , , . He inherited 100 pounds in 1752, which is approximately 21,000 U.S. dollars (2019) from his godfather, the Archbishop of Cashel legacy.  Arthur at age 27 used it to set up his own ale small scale brewery in , County Kildare.  At age 34 his floundering brewing business was moved to the capital of Ireland, . 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.  In 1761 Arthur married Olivia Whitmore. The couple had 21 children (10 survived into adulthood).  The family lived in Beaumont House on a 51‐acre estate in .  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.  In 1799 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.  He was a supporter of social welfare, donating to charities, Gaelic arts, supporting Irish identity and advocating for tolerance regarding polarizing communities through religion.  A shy person, Arthur Guinness had only one portrait with his likeness.  Arthur Guinness died on January 23, 1803. His company was producing 20,000 barrels at the time of his death. (By 1914, Guinness was brewing 2,000,000 barrels annually.) Arthur Guinness II succeeded his father and subsequently management has grown the brewing business worldwide. During the 19th century, Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness restored St. Patrick's Cathedral, then in poor condition. Guinness with its exact brewing formula is brewed in 60 countries and sold in 100 countries worldwide. Annually it is estimated that 1.8 billion pints are enjoyed. "Ireland ranks third on the list of places where residents tip back the most Guinness annually, after Britain and Nigeria. Every day, 10million glasses of Guinness are consumed around the world." The company's trademark was introduced in 1862. It had three distinct parts: Arthur's , the harp symbol and the Guinness name. Today, Guinness markets twenty different beers. This photo program is a shared photo experience of a visit to the Guinness Storehouse.

"The Storehouse was originally built by Arthur Guinness and Co Ltd for use as a fermentation house. After a series of adaptations, the building was no longer suitable for modern brewing processes and it closed its doors in 1986. But just over 14 years later, those doors were thrown open again to welcome visitors. The Guinness Storehouse has gone on to become one of the top three attractions of Dublin."

"The harp is the official national emblem of the and can be found on the Republic's coinage. However, there is a difference between the Irish government harp and Guinness harp." "The harp, which serves as the Guinness emblem, is based on a famous 14th century Irish harp known as the "O'Neill" or "Brian Boru" harp which is now preserved in the Library of Trinity College Dublin. The harp device has been synonymous with Guinness since 1862 when it was used as a symbol on the first bottle label for GUINNESS®. It was registered as a Guinness company trademark in 1876. It is because of the harp trademark that Guinness named its first lager 'Harp' in 1960." Overview of Dublin and Guinness modern brewery
