各大品牌英文介绍 Guinness

Guinness is a popular Irish alcoholic¹ drink famous throughout the world. It is a type of beer called a dry stout². It has a distinctive³ burnt flavor from the use of roasted barley⁴ in the brewing⁵ process. The company was founded in 1759 by Arthur Guinness at the St. James's Gate Brewery⁶, Dublin. Guinness is still made there today. In 1769 Guinness started exporting his ale - six and a half barrels were sent to England. Today, Guinness is exported all over the world, making it Ireland’s most successful ever export. Guinness has run some very clever advertising⁷ campaigns, most notable “Pure Genius” and “Guinness Is Good For You”. There are many studies that prove Guinness has beneficial health effects. For a time, doctors advised pregnant women to drink a little Guinness. The company has stopped this slogan and now promotes responsible drinking in moderation.
