Definitely an interesting man and brewery for sure don’t get me wrong. The problem I have with guiness is the same I have with many famous breweries. Is that as soon as they are bought out by soulless mega corps be it AB inbev, Heineken, asahi or lion Nathan all that culture and history may as well be thrown out the window. The past of these great breweries is nothing more than a tool for the marketing team to increase sales numbers. Which is definitely a shame. Support local small business that are actively involved in your community over international mega corporations. Be a conscious consumer and vote with your dollar in everything not just beer.

I like that actually - big things wither, small things conquer. And small things are personal, so things with soul are stronger than things without it.
Fun fact. Arthur Guinness was a staunch Unionist.

Didn’t Asahi acquire all of lion Nathan breweries over a decade ago?
Edit, actually kirin owns lion Nathan, but asahi definitely aquaired some of their brands a while ago.
