For generations of Dubliners, work in Guinness was the ideal employment, a job for life with good conditions, at a time when secure employment was scarce. In this lively and very affectionate look at Guinness from an insider's perspective, Al Byrne recalls the company's hey-day with its barges on the Liffey and its dray-horses in the streets, the gossip around the beer 'tap' in the brewery, the 'fanciers' and the cooperage, the famouse advertising campaigns and the company's genuine concern for its employees' welfare. Al's forty years with Guinness spanned times of profound change in the company, change he chronicles here with some regret, even though he himself was part of it.
