Get ready for St. Practice Day!
The Great Guinness Toast is an annual event that takes place across the world each year. It all began with a wild goal by Mullaney's Harp & Fiddle Pub in Pittsburgh, PA. In 1993, they decided to establish a new world record for the world's largest toast. The event quickly became an annual tradition, and thus the record has been broken every year since!

Somewhere along the way, people also nicknamed this day 'St. Practice Day,' in reference to preparing for St. Patrick's Day. Nowadays, people also consider this date the official start to the St. Patrick's season, allowing for many more days of fun and revelry!

ONE OF A KIND FLAVOR.
A meager look into the taste of an Irish legend.
Born in 1759 by Arthur Guinness, the stout has seen its recipe altered occasionally to suit modern tastes. Yet these adjustments have been minimal and have only helped it become one of the most successful brands worldwide. Its now brewed all over the world and sold in countless locations.
 
Guinness is also available in a variety of blends and strengths, often unique to a certain part of the globe. Extra Smooth is available in Nigeria for example, while Special Export Stout is in Belgium. Over the years there have even been special edition versions, including 2006's Toucan Brew, in honor of their beloved cartoon toucan.

Of course, with nearly 300 years of history there's no way we can being to scratch the surface of the life of the brew. CLICK HERE to learn more!
