The Guinness company was founded in 1759 in Dublin, Ireland, by Arthur Guinness. Initially, the company produced ales, but in the 1770s, it began producing the dark, stout beer that is now synonymous with the Guinness name. Over the years, Guinness became one of the most recognizable brands in the world, and its stout is now sold in over 150 countries.
The Guinness company has a rich history, including its involvement in sports, entertainment, and advertising. For example, in the early 20th century, Guinness sponsored sports teams and events, such as rugby and horse racing. In the 1930s and 1940s, Guinness began producing promotional posters and advertisements that are now considered iconic pieces of advertising history.
