Sample Content:
"I was blue mouldy for the want of that pint. Declare to God, I could hear it hit the pit of my stomach with a click."
James Joyce, describing a first taste of the black stuff in Barney Kiernan's pub, Ulysses, 1922
"At one with the One, it didn't mean a thing besides a glass of Guinness on a sunny day."
Graham Greene, writer and journalist
"My Goodness, My Guinness."
Iconic advertising slogan, 1935
In the early 20th century, Guinness was marketed as a health tonic. Doctors recommended it to blood donors and even to pregnant women, thanks to its iron content. The famous slogan "Guinness is Good for You" was born from this era. While it's true that Guinness contains a small amount of iron (about 0.3 mg per pint), you'd need to drink dozens of pints a day to hit your recommended daily intake!
