Guinness Tulip Pint Glass

Guinness, one of the most successful alcohol brands worldwide, was founded by Arthur Guinness in 1759 at St. James's Gate Brewery, Dublin, Ireland. The brand is iconic for its dry stout and its distinctive harp logo, which is modeled after the 14th-century Trinity College Harp. While the beer itself originated in Ireland, official Guinness branded glassware is manufactured in multiple countries across Europe and Asia to meet global demand for pub and consumer merchandise.

In 1997, Guinness PLC merged with Grand Metropolitan to form Diageo, which remains the ultimate owner of the brand today. Headquartered in London, Diageo is a global leader in beverage alcohol with an extensive collection of brands across spirits and beer. Although Guinness is synonymous with Irish identity and maintained through Irish heritage, its administrative and corporate control resides within the multinational structure of Diageo.
