Description

Guinness Ceramic horse and plastic cart with Guinness bottle top barrels.

Horses were used to transport Guinness around Dublin for two-hundred and two years from 1759 to 1961. From the founding of the Guinness brewery at St. James’s Gate by Arthur Guinness in 1759, horses were the main form of transport used to deliver Guinness stout to the ale houses in Dublin.
BREWERY WORK
The horses, mainly Clydesdales, Percherons and Shire breeds were used inside the brewery to haul casks on “drays”, for delivering beer barrels or other heavy loads. At the turn of the 18th century, they were harnessed to wagons on the internal eight-mile long railway to move loads within the brewery.
