9,000 Year Lease

9,000 Year Lease

December 31, 1759

Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000 year lease for the brewery at St. Jame's Gate. The rent was £45 per year for the establishment. The brewery was rundown and had been on the market for ten years. It covered four acres of land and had its own water supply. The brewery came with a copper, a kieve, a mill, two malthouse, stabling for twelve horses and a loft to hold 200 tons of hay. By 1798 it was one of the largest employers in Dublin, and by 1833 it was the largest brewery in Ireland.
