Guinness is Guinness

There is no other company, industry, or premises more closely aligned—indeed almost synonymous—with its hometown than Guinness's St. James's Gate Brewery and the city of Dublin. From the company's modest beginnings in 1759 to its heyday in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and its continued strength into the twenty-first century, Guinness has had an enormous influence over the city's economic, social, and cultural life.

Recorded at British Grove and Abbey Road studios, Daphne Guinness's fourth album, Sleep, is unlike anything Guinness has produced before. Contemplative, self-reflective, and personal, it represents her most beguiling body of work to date; a sleek sophisticated experience enhanced by an array of esoteric creative touches, complementing its dance floor rush.

The history of Guinness, one of the world's most famous brands, reveals the noble heights and generosity of a great family and an innovative business.
