Arthur Guinness Day, Thursday September 23 will be celebrated worldwide with various activities. The success of the Guinness brand was made possible through one man’s dream to operate his own brewery. Arthur Guinness was no stranger to the process involved in the brewing of beer. He supervised the production of brews at a fairly young age on a large estate under the guidance of his father. With his £100 inheritance he started a brewery with his brother only to break away three years later to establish what would become his leap into greatness. He seemed to be certain of what would be his brand’s success when he leased the property he used to brew his ales and ports for 9000 years. From there on, the rest is history.
It is estimated that at least 5.5 million pints of Guinness are drank worldwide, per day. Arthur Guinness’ impressive legacy has survived for more than two centuries. People from all over the world are united in celebration of the man, the pioneer and the genius behind the “black stuff”.
The Caribbean is set to host a grand celebration of culture music, food and great entertainment. Some of Jamaica’s greatest musicians will celebrate the work and life of a man who embodied all the qualities of greatness. The Arthur Guinness Celebration takes place on Saturday October 23 at the National Stadium Kingston, Jamaica. Admission to this event is only through the Guinness Under the Cap promotions.
