The inside story of how the Guinness family created the largest brewery in the world.
Arthur Edward Guinness, the 4th Earl of Iveagh and head of the Guinness family, explores the immense legacy of his extraordinary family in this narrative nonfiction book, published to coincide with a major Netflix television series titled House of Guinness.
Guinness draws on family letters, archives, and photographs to tell, for the first time, the real story of how four generations of Guinnesses, starting from humble origins in Ireland, created the world's largest brewery and perhaps the most iconic beer ever.
The earl explores the contrasting personalities of his forebears and the story of the Guinness family succession in the Victorian era, and explains how they made a difference in Ireland, Britain, and far beyond.
This is the inside story of one of the great families of Ireland and Britain in its formative eras-a generational saga encompassing family drama, business innovation, public works, and charitable endeavors.
