Arthur Guinness Son & Co., founded 1756, produces a dark stout (a type of beer, specifically porter), known widely as Guinness, brewed at St. James's Gate Brewery, Dublin, Ireland since 1759, when Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000 year lease at £45 per annum for the unused brewery (the word "stout" was not attached to the beer until the 1820s). It is also brewed under licence internationally—the resulting beer is, from all reports, significantly different. The Guinness brewery in Park Royal, London, closed in 2005.
