Arthur Guinness (1725 – 23 January 1803) was the founder of the Guinness brewery business, an entrepreneur, visionary and philanthropist. Guinness laid the foundations for Guinness Brewery. At 27, in 1752, Guinness’s godfather Arthur Price, the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Cashel, bequeathed him £100 in his will. Guinness invested the money and in 1755 had a brewery at Leixlip, just 17 km from Dublin. In 1759, Guinness went to the city and set up his own business. He got a 9,000 year lease on the four-acre brewery at St. James’s Gate from Mark Rainsford for an annual rent of £45.
While we at FDM believe that Arthur Guiness is the greatest genius in the history of brewing, we are at the same time, disturbed that great brewery founders like Adolph Coors and Eberhard Anheuser have not been inducted into the mormon temple clubhouse. Does that mean we will all be drinking porter in the Celestial Kingdom.
