Guinness is an Irish dry stout produced by Diageo that originated in the brewery of Arthur Guinness (1725–1803) at St. James's Gate, Dublin. Guinness is one of the most successful beer brands worldwide. It is brewed in almost 60 countries and is available in over 120. Annual sales total 850 million litres (1.5 billion Imperial or 1.8 billion US pints).
A feature of the product is the burnt flavour that is derived from roasted unmalted barley, although this is a relatively modern development, not becoming part of the grist until the mid-20th century. For many years a portion of aged brew was blended with freshly brewed beer to give a sharp lactic flavour. Although the Guinness palate still features a characteristic "tang", the company has refused to confirm whether this type of blending still occurs. The draught beer's thick, creamy head comes from mixing the beer with nitrogen and carbon dioxide when poured. It is popular with the Irish both in Ireland and abroad, and, in spite of a decline in consumption since 2001, is still the best-selling alcoholic drink in Ireland where Guinness & Co. makes almost €2 billion annually.
The company moved its headquarters to London at the beginning of the Anglo-Irish Trade War in 1932. In 1997, it merged with Grand Metropolitan to form the multinational alcoholic drinks producer Diageo.
The English-language surnames, Guinness, McGuinness, McGinness, McGinniss, and McGinnis are Anglicizations of the Irish surname Mag Aonghuis , which means in English “son of Aonghus (Angus)”. The English language Magennis surname is an even earlier Anglicization of the Irish Mag Aonghuis surname. The McGuinness were a dynasty that ruled in Gaelic Ireland’s Ulidia (kingdom). The McGuinness chiefs ruled in the area of the Kingdom of Ulidia, that is now western County Down in Northern Ireland.
