The brewery's most famous product is a dark stout beer (a type of porter), known widely as Guinness. Although commonly believed to have originated the stout style of beer, the first use of the word stout in relation to beer was in a letter in the Egerton Manuscript dated 1677, almost 50 years before Arthur Guinness was born.
