I'm gonna meet Rory Guinness at a local pub here today! He is the 8th generation of his family to be involved with the St.James Gate brewery. He'll be signing copies of his book, "The World of Guinness", an insider's guide to the brewery, its history and his family. My wife is out of town with the digital camera, but I will try to get some pictures.

Here's the schedule if anyone is interested;
