ENGLISH:

 

Guinness is an Irish dry stout that originated in the brewery of Arthur Guinness (1725–1803) at St. James's Gate brewery in the capital city of Dublin, Ireland. Guinness, produced by the Diageo beverages company, is one of the most successful beer brands worldwide. It is brewed in almost 50 countries and is available in over 120.

 

Guinness features a burnt flavour that is derived from malted barley and roasted unmalted barley. The use of roasted barley 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 Guinness's 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. In spite of declining consumption since 2001, it is still the best-selling alcoholic drink in Ireland where Guinness & Co. Brewery makes almost €2 billion worth of the beverage annually.

 

The company was started in 1759 in Dublin, but had to move its headquarters to London at the beginning of the Anglo-Irish Trade War in 1932. In 1997, Guinness plc merged with Grand Metropolitan to form the multinational alcoholic drinks producer Diageo.

ESPAÑOL:

 

Guinness es una cerveza negra seca del tipo stout elaborada por primera vez por el cervecero Arthur Guinness en la empresa cervecera denominada St. James's Gate Brewery ubicada en la ciudad de Dublín, Irlanda. Guinness se elabora desde el año 1759. La cerveza se basa en el estilo porter, originado en Londres a principios de 1700. Se trata de una de las marcas de cerveza más conocidas y se exporta a la mayor parte de los países. Ha llegado a batir a muchos imitadores. La característica distintiva en el sabor es la cebada tostada que se mantiene sin fermentar. Durante muchos años una parte de la cerveza se envejecía para dar un sabor láctico, pero Guinness ha renunciado confirmar si esto sigue ocurriendo. La gruesa y cremosa espuma es resultado de una mezcla de nitrógeno añadida en el envasado. Lo que está comprobado es que no lleva café, pese a la creencia popular.

 

La cerveza Guinness es un caso especial, donde una marca de bebida alcohólica hecha por una empresa privada ha llegado a identificar el alma de una nación. Guinness en Irlanda es toda una institución por derecho propio, llegando incluso a simbolizar al pueblo irlandés. En la actualidad y desde el año 1997 Guinness pertenece a la multinacional de bebidas espirituosas Diageo con sede en Londres, resultante de la fusión de Guinness UDV y Grand Metropolitan plc.
