We’ve all spent a year in some form of social isolation, and although things are slowly opening up, I’m happy to delay my Father’s Day trip to the driving range or golf course. No doubt, nearly every dad has the same idea for this third Sunday in June – in particular after more than a

I’m no fan of green beer, so to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, I usually turn to an old Irish favourite. A global brand with a 260-year history that is apparently now brewed in 50 countries – Guinness stout. It’s black, rich and creamy, and pours with a velvety head so thick you can write your

The history of Guinness is truly a tale to behold. Beginning with the birth of Arthur Guinness in 1725, who at the young age of 27, took a £100 inheritance and set up his first brewery in Leixlip, County Kildare.
