250 Years of Guinness: Website Celebration
Well, it’s official. Arthur Guinness has just turned 250. Around the world people are enjoying free pints of Guinness, one gigantic party and the ‘craic’. As an Irishman, I feel compelled to inform you of some of the cool web tools and features that Guinness has unveiled on their website to mark the occasion.
First, we have the blast from the past as we go for a walk down memory lane looking at all of the old advertisements from Guinness’s.
Then, there is a video showing you how to pour the perfect pint of Guinness. In fact, all of the videos released to celebrate the occasion whether there of the How-To variant or recent advertisements are all of a very high quality and stream pretty quickly from the servers.
Then there is the ‘The Beer’ function which get you acquainted with how Guinness is made and its various different forms such as ‘The Beer’, the Export version and of course the traditional Irish Stout version. The history section also brings you up to date on the 1000 year lease on St. James Gate in Dublin and how it was first created and how it impacted on Irish history.
I hope you all enjoy it and indeed the worldwide toast to ‘a man named Arthur’.
