I’m a bit of a trivia nerd and history dork. I also happen to love Guinness beer. It’s been my go-to beer going all the way to my college years in the ‘90s. When I learned that House of Guinness was going to be part of the 2025 TV schedule, I got excited.
When I found it would be from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight (who is also slated to write the next James Bond movie), my excitement ratcheted up another few notches. When the first episode began, I was immediately taken by surprise to learn something I never knew: The Guinness family were Protestants, and the famous harp on the label was a compromise of sorts.
