GUINNESS ANCHOR BERHAD (5350-X) 25St. James’s Gate in Dublin has been brewing continuously since Arthur Guinness established the brewery in1759. Today, Guinness is brewed at 50 locations worldwide, and sold in 150 countries. Around ten million pints ofGuinness are enjoyed around the world every day; or almost 2 billion pints a year.There is a little bit of magic in every painstakingly crafted brew of Guinness.There are six distinct features that make Guinness stand out from all the others. There’s the roasted barley, theextra hops we use, the special yeast, the maturation process, the famous creamy head and lastly the supremelyskillful craft of our brewers. Read below to find out just what it is about Guinness that makes it the world’s mostpopular stout.• The same four ingredients – barley, water, hops andyeast – have been used to make Guinness since the18th century. The age old tradition of roasting thebarley provides the deep ruby red colour and theunique roasted character.• Guinness uses double the average amount of hopsmaking for a fuller flavour. Moreover, the fullfreshness of ingredients is captured by the famousstrain of “Guinness yeast,” which works like noother in ensuring that the beer is fully fermentedand charged with flavour.• The legendary maturation process allows “Guinnessto become Guinness”–a beer like no other. Thisnecessary resting period enables Guinness toachieve the level of balance and consistencydemanded by exacting brewers.• Guinness is instantly recognisable by its marvelloushead, which is a consistent feature regardless ofthe variant.1999 2004 2007
