In the early 19th century, Guinness brewers were faced with a challenge: how to keep their beer fresh on long sea voyages to faraway lands? If you didn’t know, Guinness brewers love a challenge. So they put their ingenious minds together and deliberately brewed a beer with extra hops, which acted as a natural preservative.
Did it work? Of course it did! In fact, the recipe worked so well that this rich, characterful porter was soon shipped to the Caribbean, America, Africa and South East Asia.
