The House of Guinness: The True Story of the Family, the Legacy, and the 9,000-Year Empire of Stout

By Kate D. Cindelshade

For more than two centuries, one family name has echoed from Dublin's cobblestone streets to pubs across the world: Guinness. But behind every perfectly poured pint lies a story far richer, darker, and more dramatic than most drinkers ever imagined.

From Arthur Guinness's audacious 9,000-year lease at St. James's Gate in 1759, to the explosive scandals that nearly destroyed the dynasty, to the bitter succession battles and the rise of a global empire, the Guinness legacy is as intoxicating as the stout itself. This is not just a tale of beer - it is the true story of ambition, betrayal, resilience, and empire-building that continues to fascinate centuries later.

In these pages, you'll discover:

How a brewer's son transformed 100 into one of the most powerful brands in history.The scandal that threatened to topple the family and nearly ended the empire before it began.The Guinness heirs' fight to protect - and expand - their inheritance across continents.The transformation of Guinness from family dynasty to global powerhouse under Diageo.Why Netflix's House of Guinness brings this saga back to life for a new generation.

Richly detailed and grippingly told, The House of Guinness is more than history - it's the untold saga of a dynasty that changed Ireland and left its mark on the world.
