Guinness

/ˈɡɪnəs/ noun

Definition

A dark Irish stout beer known for its creamy head and distinctive flavor. Also refers to the Guinness Book of World Records, originally created by the brewery.

Etymology

Named after Arthur Guinness, who signed a 9,000-year lease on a Dublin brewery in 1759. The family name Guinness derives from Irish 'Mag Aonghusa,' meaning 'son of Angus.'

Kelly Says

Guinness beer takes exactly 119.5 seconds to settle properly, creating its famous cascading effect and creamy head. The Guinness Book of Records started as a marketing tool to settle pub arguments about world records - proving that great ideas can emerge from simple customer service.
