Description

The history of Guinness, probably the most world’s most famous brands, reveals the noble heights and generosity of a great circle of relatives and an innovative business.

It began in Ireland in the mid 1700s. The water in Ireland, indeed during Europe, used to be famously undrinkable, and the gin and whiskey that took its place devastated civil society. It used to be a disease ridden, starvation-plagued, alcoholic age, and Christians like Arthur Guinness—in addition to monks and even evangelical churches—brewed beer that provided a healthier alternative to the poisonous waters and liquors of the times. This is where the Guinness tale began. Now, 250 years and over 150 countries later, Guinness is a global brand, probably the most consumed beverages on the earth. The tale that unfolds right through those two and a half centuries has power to thrill audiences today: the generational drama, business adventure, industrial and social reforms, deep-felt faith, and the noble beer itself.

“Frothy, delicious, intoxicating and nutritious! No, I am not talking about Guinness Stout—I’m talking about Stephen Mansfield’s fabulous new book…The amazing and true story of how the Guinness circle of relatives used its wealth and influence to touch millions is an absolute inspiration.” — Eric Metaxas, New York Times best-selling author

“It is a rare brew that takes faith, philanthropy and the frothy head of freshly-poured Guinness and combines them into such an inspiriting narrative. Cheers to brewmaster Stephen Mansfield! And cheers to you, the reader! You’re in for a treat.” — R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., Founder and editor-in-chief of The American Spectator
