In 1755 he inherited £100 from his godfather, Archbishop Price, and used it to lease a brewery in nearby Leixlip. There he brewed only ale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1759 he had earned enough to lease the larger but unused St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin. The lease ran for 9,000 years at £45 a year. The original with his signature is still kept in the brewery's archive, and that signature is still on every can and bottle of Guinness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company stayed in the family for generations. In 1886 Guinness was listed on the stock exchange in London, and until 1986 a family member was always in the chairman's seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrom ale to porter and stout\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuinness started with ale. In the 1770s Arthur began brewing porter, a style that had emerged in London some fifty years earlier. Roasted barley gives porter its dark colour and rich flavour. In 1799 he brewed his last ale and chose to brew only porter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1801 came the West India Porter, a hoppier beer that could survive long sea voyages. It is seen as the forerunner of today's Guinness Foreign Extra Stout. In 1862 Guinness got its first trademark label, with the harp, Arthur's signature and the name GUINNESS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best-known feature is the thick, creamy head. That comes from nitrogen: in the can, a widget makes sure you get that effect at home too. Technically, Guinness is dark ruby red, not black, by the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGuinness at Hoptimaal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith us you'll find Guinness Hop House 13, in the Lager \u0026 Pilsner category. The beer comes in 33 cl and has 4.1% alcohol. On Untappd it is rated highly. So it is not a stout, but a lager from a brewery that is known mainly for its stout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrink Hop House 13 well chilled and preferably as fresh as possible, because a hoppy beer loses its fresh character over time. Pour it into a clean glass so you can smell the aromas properly. Store the bottles and cans dark and cool until you open them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--faq--\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does Guinness come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuinness comes from Dublin, Ireland.
