How is Guinness made?

Answer 1

Arthur Guinness started brewing ales initially in Leixlip, then at the St. James's Gate Brewery, Dublin, Ireland from 1759. He signed a 9,000 year lease at £45 per annum for the unused brewery.[3] Ten years later in 1769 Guinness exported their product for the first time, when six and a half barrels were shipped to England. Although sometimes believed to have originated the stout style of beer, the first use of the word stout in relation to beer was in a letter in the Egerton Manuscript dated 1677, almost 50 years before Arthur Guinness was born. The first Guinness beers to use the term were Single Stout and Double Stout in the 1840s. Porter was first recorded as being made and sold in London in the 1730s. It became very popular in Great Britain and Ireland, and was responsible for the trend toward large regional breweries with tied pubs. With the advent of pale ale the popularity of dark beers decreased, apart from Ireland where the breweries of Guinness, Murphy's and Beamish grew in size with international interest in Irish (or dry) stout. "Nourishing" and sweet "milk" stouts became popular in Great Britain in the years following the Second World War, though their popularity declined towards the end of the 20th century - apart from pockets of local interest, such as Glasgow with Sweetheart Stout, and Jamaica with Dragon Stout. With beer writers such as Michael Jackson writing about stouts and porters in the 1970s, there has been a moderate interest in the global speciality beer market. Originally, the adjective "stout" meant "proud" or "brave", but later, after the fourteenth century, "stout" came to mean "strong." The first known use of the word stout about beer was in a document dated 1677 found in the Egerton Manuscript,[2] the sense being that a stout beer was a strong beer. The expression stout porter was applied during the 1700s to strong versions of porter, and was used by Guinness of Ireland in 1820 - although Guinness had been brewing porters since about 1780, having originally been an ale brewer from its foundation in 1759. "Stout" still meant only "strong" and it could be related to any kind of beer, as long as it was strong: in the UK it was possible to find "stout pale ale", for example. Later, "stout" was eventually to be associated only with porter, becoming a synonym of dark beer. During the end of the nineteenth century, stout porter beer gained the reputation of being a healthy strengthening drink, so that it was used by athletes and nursing mothers, while doctors often recommended it to help recovery.[4] In fact, in Ireland, blood donors and post operative patients were once given Guinness due to its high iron content.

Answer 2

Beer was never invented. It was discovered, like fire or water.

The most widely held belief, is that it was found in nature, as the very process is natural. Although recipes and conditions are fairly strict for quality control, making beer is one of the simplest things to make.

You only need water, grains of most any sort (germinated), and yeast, which is in nature.

One version of the story is that someone happened upon a puddle or pool of water that had grains in it (think puddle in a field), and yeast had somehow blown in, producing the alcohol.

It's also believed that beer is the cause of nomads settling down, so they could grow the grains required for the production of beer.
