History of the Beer: Guinness was founded by Arthur Guinness in 1759 at the St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin, Ireland. Arthur signed a 9,000-year lease for the brewery site, a testament to his confidence in his brewing business. Guinness has been a pioneer in brewing techniques. One notable innovation was the use of nitrogen alongside carbon dioxide, which gives the beer its smooth, creamy texture.
Taste Profile of the Beer: Guinness Draught, a stout beer known for its distinctive creamy head and deep, rich flavour. The unique taste comes from a combination of malted barley, hops, brewer's yeast, and water. The use of roasted, unmalted barley is what gives it the characteristic dark colour and caramelised flavour.
Leroy’s Story: Leroy's journey from crafting his first beer can map in Co. Antrim to becoming a globally recognised artist is as rich and diverse as the beers he uses. His work has traveled from Larne to Mombasa, and now, through Allster.co, to you. Each map is not just art; it's a story of resilience, joy, and a love for beer and geography. Each beer can used is personally drunk by Leroy himself.
