Arthur's Day


It's that time of year again. A time when people the world over get to celebrate the life and legacy of Arthur Guinness, creator of that most wonderful black stuff, by getting absolutely pissed, smashed, fucked, sloshed, plastered, loaded, twisted, trashed, wasted, hammered and any other slang word for inebriated you can think of. (There's about 247 more). 




So the story goes that Arthur Guinness, the pioneering brewer and philanthropist signed a 9,000 year lease on the St James’s Gate Brewery in 1759 and introduced Guinness to the world.
