The brewery was bought with a legacy of ?100 by Arthur Guinness, who signed a 9,000-year lease for the brewery site.
Guinness is made with water, hops, yeast and barley. (Rumoured to have a secret ingredient, too).
Guinness isn't black and cream in colour -- the black part is actually "dark ruby"
Water from the River Liffey isn't put into Irish Guinness -- the water used comes from the Wicklow mountains south of Dublin.
The Guinness drunk in North America is brewed at the St. James' Gate Brewery in Dublin, so Americans drink the same Guinness as the Irish.
Guinness is brewed in 51 countries and sold in 150 countries.
10,000,000 drinks of Guinness are drunk each day -- and 1,883,200,200 pints sold each year.
