The head of the Guinness family tells the true story of how his ancestors created the largest brewery in the world.

In this narrative non-fiction book, Arthur Edward Guinness, the 4th Earl of Iveagh and head of the Guinness family tells, for the first time, the inside story of how the first four generations of Guinnesses, starting from humble origins in Ireland, created the world's largest brewery and perhaps the most iconic beer ever.

Drawing on family archives, he explores the contrasting personalities of his forebears, reveals the dramatic 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 true 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 endeavours.

“This book is far more than an account of the commercial success of Guinness; it’s also a love letter to the city which produced it.” -- The Irish Independent
