Back in 2002 for the 100th Post, Wowbagger pointed out that, on average, most researchers will contribute 45 words to the Official Guide.
Intrigued by this idea, Demon Drawer decided to expand on this thought a little and produced a series in which he attempted to describe the lives of prominent people and things in just 45 words—not the easiest task in the world! Being an Irishman and as St. Patrick’s Day has just passed, this week the focus is on an Irish icon that is celebrating a significant anniversary this year.
Guinness first brewed in 1759
The 'Black Stuff' stout first brewed by Arthur Guinness at Leixlip, Kildare
Then at St. James' Gate, Dublin
Prominent, not sole, Irish black stout still in production.
The double pour takes 119.5 seconds to finish.
Advertised by toucans, 'white horses' and for strength.
National icon.
