In Ireland history, Ireland originally produced ale, without using hops as this is not native to Ireland. In the late 18^th century hops are not used, amidst the facts that most countries had used it in preservation and in making the flavor that is found in beer.

In eighteenth century most of the Ireland beers were imported from England and Scotland. It was in 1756 when Arthur Guines set up a small brewery and had moved to Dublin in 1759. Having his first brewing to be bitter, he had switched to producing porter, which is a style that had been derived in London. However, there was a difference, while he used unmalted roasted barley, in London beers it had not been done that way, making the beer more dray and bitter. Guinness in the early twentieth century, eventually became the largest brewer in the world sharing it’s Irish style of drinking to many countries.
