Harp Lager beer

Harp Lager is a distinctive Irish pilsner-style lager. It was first brewed in 1960 at the Great Northern Brewery in Dundalk, Ireland. The brand was developed by the Guinness company (now part of Diageo) in response to the growing popularity of continental lagers in the British Isles.

Today, Harp continues to be a core brand in the Irish market. It is manufactured primarily at St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin, Ireland, though it has various licensing agreements worldwide. In Canada, it is a staple in the import section of beer retailers, often distributed via local subsidiaries of its multinational parent company.

The brand is currently owned by Diageo, one of the world's largest producers of spirits and beer. Diageo was formed in 1997 following the merger of Guinness and Grand Metropolitan, and remains headquartered in London, United Kingdom.
