Guinness is famous for its distinctive black color, smooth creamy head, and unique surge and settle. It is brewed in 52 locations worldwide and widely available in over 150 countries. Arthur Guinness took out a 9,000 year lease on the St James's Gate Brewery in Dublin in 1759. Before the late 19th century, the Guinness brewery was the world's largest brewery and was floated on the London Stock Exchange. Guinness portrays brand values of dedication, loyalty, friendship, and that one's character is revealed through their choices.
