Guinness Nostalgic Lion/Zookeeper Wooden Sign- this sign is made of wood and features a painted design in a weathered effect with the harried zookeeper. The Guinness brewery in Park Royal, London closed in 2005. The production of all Guinness sold in the UK and Ireland was moved to St. James’s Gate Brewery, Dublin. Along with the beloved toucan, many other signature Guinness animals make appearances on our Guinness wall art collection. Many vintage advertisements picture a lion hot on the tail of a pint-bearing zookeeper, all designed by John Gilroy in the 1940s &‘50s. These are:

Guinness thought they brewed their last porter in 1973. In the 1970s, following declining sales, the decision was taken to make Guinness Extra Stout more “drinkable”. The gravity was subsequently reduced, and the brand was relaunched in 1981. Pale malt was used for the first time, and isomerized hop extract began to be used. In 2014, two new porters were introduced: West Indies Porter and Dublin Porter. Alicia Cliffe, art director at AMV BBDO, said: “The idea was based on a truth that (almost) all of us share – when the shade catches up, we move into the sun. A really fun brief to work on with a great team.” Kathi ‘Fatti’ Burke is an award-winning illustrator from Co. Waterford, Ireland.

Guinness is a traditional drink and I don't think people will sacrifice that for a little extra speed and efficiency."The Guinness Storehouse entertainment showcase features great creative talent in the cultural heart of Dublin, in addition to great pints of Guinness. Whether you’re looking for something fun to do this summer in Dublin, no matter the weather, look no further than the Guinness Storehouse, bringing together the very best of the Irish summer under one roof. Several years ago, a Dublin company worked on developing a process to cut down the pouring-and-settling time without disrupting the beer's quality...but Guinness afficionados weren't impressed.

Nitrogen is less soluble than carbon dioxide, which allows the beer to be put under high pressure without making it fizzy. High pressure of the dissolved gas is required to enable very small bubbles to be formed by forcing the draught beer through fine holes in a plate in the tap, which causes the characteristic “surge” (the widget in cans and bottles achieves the same effect). This “widget” is a small plastic ball containing the nitrogen. The perceived smoothness of draught Guinness is due to its low level of carbon dioxide and the creaminess of the head caused by the very fine bubbles that arise from the use of nitrogen and the dispensing method described above. “Foreign Extra Stout” contains more carbon dioxide, causing a more acidic taste. Jeanette Levis, Marketing Manager at Diageo, said: “We are so proud to share this new Guinness ad which captures a summer feeling like no other over a creamy, cold pint of Guinness. We are so excited for Guinness to make waves this summer with the campaign.” Lovely Day For a Guinness Retro Advert .Will help lend that crucial authenticity to any pub or home bar!
