Arthur Guinness signed a lease on the St. James's Gate brewery in 1759 for 9,000 years — a term so absurdly long it's still technically running today.

Guinness is a dry stout with a distinctive dark color and creamy head, brewed at St. James's Gate in Dublin since the 18th century. It's poured in a deliberate two-part pour and settles before serving — part of the ritual as much as the taste.

Why it's made this way: Guinness grew from a single Dublin brewery into the world's largest by the 1880s, and the black stuff remains inseparable from the city's identity and pub culture.
