1.    Guinness has 250 years of living history.
2.    Every can and bottle of Guinness carries Arthur Guinness’ (founder) signature even though he dies some 200 years ago. Arthur’s name stands for the quality that underpins the Guinness brand.
3.    Guinness is made from four natural ingredients: barley, water, hops and yeast. The dark color and the unique taste come from the roast barley.
4.    Around 10 million glasses of Guinness are drunk around the world every day!
5.    Draught Guinness in cans was launched in 1988 (post a high demand for take home beer in early 1980’s).
6.    Guinness invented Widgets – the tiny, shiny thing with a minute hole in it. They put it in the beer before they seal the can. The doofer is full of nitrogen but it can’t escape because the beer is pressurized with carbon dioxide. When you open the can, the pressure drops and the nitrogen whooshes into the beer and forces it to release dissolved Co2. That’s how you get the creamy head on top of the beer.
7.    Guinness is sold in 150 countries around the globe and can be found in far-flung places as Novosibirsk in Central Siberia and Kathmandu in Nepal, which is supplied by the high-altitude Mount Everest Brewery.
8.    Guinness is brewed in 49 countries as well as St James’ Gate, Dublin.
9.    Guinness is brewed to suit local tastes. In Ireland, Great Britain, the US and Australia, people drink Guinness Draught. In Africa, Asia and the Caribbean they drink Guinness Extra Stout.
10.    In Muslim countries, you also get Malta Guinness, a top selling non-alcoholic drink.
11.    The top 5 Guinness markets around the world in sales terms are Great Britain, Ireland, Nigeria, the US and Cameroon. Nigeria will soon overtake Ireland.
12.    A pint of Guinness has fewer calories than a pint of semi-skimmed milk or a pint of orange juice.
13.    Guinness let four decades of heritage quietly slip away and GIGFY ended post they failed to substantiate the GIGFY (Guinness is good for you) claim when a UK doctor challenged them under the Trader’s Description Act, in the early 1960’s.
14.    In the 19th century, the main way for the beer to distinguish itself from the rivals was by the picture on the label. That’s when Guinness registered its harp sign and trademark label.
