Guinness beer glass

Guinness is one of the world's most iconic beverage brands, founded by Arthur Guinness in 1759 at St. James's Gate, Dublin, Ireland. While originally famous for its Irish stout, the brand’s identity extends heavily into licensed merchandise, including the highly recognizable gravity pint glass shown here.

Manufacturing of Guinness-branded glassware occurs in multiple countries through various licensed manufacturers and distributors to supply the global hospitality industry. While the beer itself maintains its primary production roots in Dublin, the glass vessels are produced internationally to meet demand.

Since 1997, Guinness has been a flagship brand of Diageo, a British multinational alcoholic beverages company formed through the merger of Grand Metropolitan and Guinness PLC. Diageo is headquartered in London, United Kingdom, and operates as one of the largest distillers and brewers globally.
