    Arthur Guinness started brewing ales in Leixlip, County Kildare, and then from 1759 at the St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin. On 31 December he signed a 9,000-year lease at £45 per annum for the unused brewery.[3][4] However, the lease is no longer in effect because the brewery property has been bought out when it expanded beyond the original 4-acre site.

    You need to get to 8200 years of the lease. Then let it settle for a minute.

    but they mention the lease in their new ad?

    Though Bord na Mona are pretending to be the salt of the earth in their new one so they're all full of it anyway.

    I read that as Guinness release. Was a bit jealous that you were out on the lash on a school night. But now you're on the jacks.

    Danke schön!

    But seriously though, is Guinness not the "schrodingers sh*ts" of drink?

    You can get a decent one, or a watered down muck one, or a dodgy one.

    Anyone remember that the Guinness family were always opposed to Irish independence? Arthur Guinness himself was an informer to the British. They gave the uvf 100,000 in 1913 for them to buy weapons. They even considered dropping any connection to Ireland and saying they are strictly an English company in the 80's.

    going back to the whole lease,

    Im sure there is an other aggreement that they pay fair rates in order to stop any increases on the €1 rent which is complete advertising.

    So they are paying more just its not down as rent and that will stop anybody going down legal route to up rent and they can keep marketing the €1 rent

    All the big businesses of the time would have been opposed to it, being mainly Anglo-Irish or Quaker owned or influenced.

    They would have seen it as Brexit, pretty much.
    Why on earth would they support independence?? Uncertainty and nothing in it for them with the added possibility of further radicalising already displeased workers although the likes of Guinness and Jacobs had better pay and conditions compared to a lot of other places.

    Not supporting independence for Irish people was an approval of British murder and tyranny. There's no other way around this. You also ignore that they continued to oppose Irish independence up to the 80's and I assume they still do.
