It was on that date that Arthur Guinness, age 34, took a 9,000 year lease on a brewery at 45 a year. That brewery was St. James' Gate in Dublin, now the largest stout brewery in the world producing 300 million pints a year! In 1862 the traditional Irish Harp was adopted as its trademark, symbolizing the special bond between Guinness and Ireland.
