The Only Country That Consumes More Guinness Beer Than Ireland
BY Stephanie Maida
Founded in Dublin, Ireland, Guinness beer is a proud part of Irish heritage. However, when it comes to this particular beer, one nation out-drinks even Ireland: Great Britain.
As of 2022, the British drank about 2.2 million pints a day. In 2020, the former head of Diageo, which owns Guinness, said that "one in 10 pints sold in London is Guinness."
By the end of 2024, Guinness was the top-selling beer by volume in the U.K., per CNN. The drink is so popular that there were fears about a shortage last year around the holidays.
