Wow, 250 years of great beer. I wonder if Arthur Guinness ever imagined that his beer would be around for this long.

Here's what wikipedia says:
"Arthur Guinness started brewing ales initially in Leixlip, then at the St. James's Gate Brewery, Dublin, Ireland from 1759. On December 31, he signed (up to) a 9,000 year lease at £45 per annum for the unused brewery.[3] [4]Ten years later on 19 May 1769 Guinness exported his ale for the first time, when six and a half barrels were shipped to England. "
 Most of the people I know enjoy Guinness whenever they can.. I do... you should too.
 I'm headed out to the yard to get some sun, have a swim and have some Guinness.
