Non-musical history for today: 1759 – Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease at £45 per annum and started brewing Guinness. That would be around £11,000 today. But, they no longer pay that price because they eventually bought the property outright.

If you’re drinking Guinness (or anything) tonight to celebrate the new year, please drink responsibly.
