About this listen

The history of Guinness, one of the world’s most famous brands, reveals the noble heights and generosity of a great family and an innovative business.

It began in Ireland in the mid 1700s. The water in Ireland, indeed throughout Europe, was famously undrinkable, and the gin and whiskey that took its place devastated civil society. It was a disease ridden, starvation-plagued, alcoholic age, and Christians like Arthur Guinness—as well as monks and even evangelical churches—brewed beer that provided a healthier alternative to the poisonous waters and liquors of the times. This is where the Guinness tale began. Now, 250 years and over 150 countries later, Guinness is a global brand, one of the most consumed beverages in the world. The tale that unfolds during those two and a half centuries has power to thrill audiences today: the generational drama, business adventure, industrial and social reforms, deep-felt faith, and the noble beer itself.

"Frothy, delicious, intoxicating and nutritious! No, I'm not talking about Guinness Stout—I'm talking about Stephen Mansfield's fabulous new book...The amazing and true story of how the Guinness family used its wealth and influence to touch millions is an absolute inspiration." — Eric Metaxas, New York Times best-selling author

"It's a rare brew that takes faith, philanthropy and the frothy head of freshly poured Guinness and combines them into such an inspiriting narrative. Cheers to brewmaster Stephen Mansfield! And cheers to you, the reader! You're in for a treat." — R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., Founder and editor-in-chief of The American Spectator

Loved the narrator! With how much historical Information there was, it was an easy listen and went by faster than I expected. I will say tho, that I appreciate the free audible book “The Goodness of Guinness” all the more. However, there are tidbits in this novel that aren’t in that one so still worth the listen. Would recommend!

Another great informative book on the Good of Guinness!

You can listen to the first chapter at 1.7 but afterwards go to 1.0 or 1.25. Excellent book and audio rendering showing the godly, social conscious motivation behind the Guinnesses.

Well worth your time!

Overall was a good story. The over emphasis of religion was a little heavy. The parts about the how the company like Thier employees was a good idea in the modern era

Learning how it has withstood time is crazy. I also did not relate to beer in general as a standard.

Fascinating history

I’m not a beer drinker but love biographies. I am very glad I chose to read this book. I enjoyed the narration. The history of the Guinness family is absolutely fascinating! I am ready to travel to Ireland and learn to like beer. The business philosophy and the maxims I gained from this book will apply to many areas of my life. I am definitely going to find another book about the Guinness family as my next read.

Learned much from this legacy
