Guinness
Dublin, Ireland
At this stage, you'd be forgiven for thinking the story of Arthur Guinness was a myth. But he was very real, and every pint served around the world is one more pint of his undeniable legacy. Arthur Guinness was the first in a long line of Guinness Master Brewers, with the craft of brewing at St. James’s Gate Brewery being handed down from generation to generation. Arthur himself most likely developed his passion for brewing from his father. By the 1860s, Guinness stout was available all over the world, and the Guinness family sought a symbol that would firmly identify Guinness as an Irish product. They chose the harp, recognized as a symbol of all that was great about Irish culture and heritage.
