Leixlip, The Black Stuff since 1756, Containes: Charcoal Soap, Soap on a rope and a Soy Candle with Vanilla & Coffee
Guinness is synonymous with Ireland. Deeply woven into the very fabric of Irish society, Guinness is more than just an alcoholic beverage; it is a national icon full of history and heritage.
First brewed in St. James’s Gate in Dublin in the mid-18th century, Guinness represents the Irish nation. It is forever loved and shared amongst friends (responsibly, of course). People from all around the globe come to Ireland just to taste its sweet nectar brewed on home soil.
This story starts with the man in question: Arthur Guinness. He was the son of two Catholic tenant farmers, one from Kildare and the other from Dublin.
When Guinness turned 27 in the year 1752, his godfather Arthur Price (the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Cashel) passed away. In his will, he left 100 Irish pounds to Guinness—a mighty inheritance at the time.
Of course, Guinness invested his fortune and soon began working on a brewery in Leixlip in 1755. Only a few years later, however, he would turn his attention to Dublin city.
In 1759, Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease (at £45 rent per year) for the St. James’s Gate Brewery in Dublin. His plan was to become a top-class beer exporter.
A turning point in the history of Guinness was Arthur Guinness’s death at age 77 in January of 1803. By this time, Guinness was a famous beverage favoured by many from all over Ireland and abroad.
The brewery was then passed on to his son Arthur Guinness II. By the 1830s, St. James’s Gate was the biggest brewery in Ireland, with extended export agreements to include the Caribbean, Africa, and the USA, amongst others.
The brewery continued to be passed from father to son for five more generations, as the beloved Irish stout soared to even greater popularity.
Under the fourth generation of Guinness leadership, the brewery went on to become the largest in the world. The site had grown to cover over 60 acres and was a thriving mini-metropolis in Dublin city.
