“In Guiness: The 250 year pursuit for the perfect pint, historian Bill Yenne covers the history of the Guiness Brewery fron it's start in 1759 to now.
This just isn't a history of a brewery it's a history of how a brewer has shaped and changed the world.
Guiness is one the best selling beers in the world. To find out why and how Alec Guiness with only a 100lb inheritance and a lease on 4 acres of land(the lease was signed at only 45lb a year(approx. $90) and 5000 years, yes 5000 years) turned his local beer into a world wide phenomenon. And see how this brewery has out lasted so many breweries through out the centuries.”
