Guinness, a very well-known beer that has been around for many many years and till this day it is one of the most popular brand of beers around the globe. With its great taste and distinction, this beer is produced at the Guinness Storehouse which is located in Dublin, Ireland in the heart of the St. James Gate Brewery. This Storehouse is the central attraction for every tourist that stops in the city of Dublin, to its employees, and to bartenders from all over Ireland who go to receive training and to learn “how to pour the perfect pint,” says Mary Clarke (Staff, Fast Company). In this essay I will discuss how the Guinness Storehouse came to be, how they operate, how the Guinness Storehouse markets themselves in the economy, and what strategy …show more content…
The Guinness Storehouse redesigns how a brand can perform for customers, employees, and the community. When the Storehouse was redesigned and opened to the public in the late 2000, it was to exhibit the history of the company and to explain how the black stuff was made, it also included training centers for employees, conference rooms, an art gallery, bars, cafes, restaurants, and a place for special events. The director of marketing and strategic planning said, “Guinness as a brand is all about community. It’s about bringing people together and sharing stories.” “It’s a place of interaction among tourist who are traveling around Ireland, for the people who live there, and for new Guinness employees who are undergoing training.” (Staff, Fast Company.) The Storehouse however also has hard times, they have had to reconnect with youngsters from Ireland to drink their product, it’s well-loved and old-fashioned products that make it look old is attracting the senior class, and the younger generation is switching to lighter beer and mixed drinks like vodka and red bull. This is why they came up with a new strategy that after dark there would be live concerts, corporate parties, gallery openings, and much more to attract the younger community. The Guinness Storehouse lures people into the brewery because of their great quality of beer and their excellent reputation they have had for many years. It is the brand that people know will bring great taste and satisfaction, the way that Guinness increases its volume, value, and profits is by their marketing strategy. They have picked a competitive pricing strategy to stay ahead of their rivals, this is why Guinness offers products at premium pricing and make aware that their customers are getting value-based

Tom Standage has described the beginnings of six beverages: beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and Coca-Cola and has found many connections, and information helpful in finding out history of the drinks themselves but also their impacts on the growth of civilization as a whole. This book connects everything with society both past and present, it makes learning about history and the way drinks connect fun and interesting. Like learning without even realizing you are. A History of the World in Six Glasses is more than just talking about each beverage as a single but as a whole, it’s connections, uses, relations, and growth they started.

From our research, Anheuser-Busch is content with being the number one beer company in the world, increasing sales each year in operation. We found that Anheuser-Busch met many views associated with the world, business, and behavioral dimensions. The company also displayed its stability as we reviewed one of its most successful products Budweiser, owned by Anheuser-Busch, under the marketing view and the financial view. Not only do they hold almost half of the market share in the industry but their stock prices, sales volume, and net sales have all increased from 2002 to 2003. We also looked at Budweiser in terms of geography and culture. We found due to the fact that the "western" countries consume the majority of beer, it only makes sense that Anheuser-Busch concentrates on that market. Along these lines, another key goal that is also important to Anheuser-Busch is to boost other beer markets that are located in other cultures, where at the time beer is not a major consumption.
The United States of America has a population of 260 million people. This is a big market with substantial purchasing power. As of 1997, Breckenridge Brewery has only expanded eastwards and the west side of the country is relatively untouched.

Compared to the industry as a whole, Mondavi is not responding to the changing marketplace and demands. While there has been some growth in the ultra and luxury premium market segments, the explosion in the last 15 years had been in the popular premium ($3-7 per bottle) and super-premium ($7-14) sector. Mondavi’s own Woodbridge offering is responsible for 76% of its case volume and 57% of its revenue as of 2001, but seemingly exists in isolation amidst all the high-end offerings from the company. Competitors that have established themselves in jug wine, beer, and other spirits are taking advantage of their sales volume and migrating upward. While E&J Gallo, Constellation, and the beer producers may not have the reputation for quality and craft that RMW possesses, their substantial financial weight has allowed them to develop or purchase brands that could compete in the higher altitudes and price segments. Meanwhile, competitors with similar histories in premium winemaking are taking advantage of lower production costs to horizontally integrate, acquire land, and build new wineries in different countries, as Kendall Jackson has done with the Villa Arceno (Italy) and Yangarra Park (Australia) wines.

Diageo has long been the front-runner in the premium drinks business. Its brands include Guinness, Smirnoff, Bailey's, Johnnie Walker, and Cuervo complimented by broad range of local and specialty brands from around the world. In 2002, Diageo held a 15% (United States-Spirits, 2002) market share and was by far the leading manufacturer of spirits in the United States followed by Pernod, and Fortune Brands, Inc. The market is expected to have 9.8% (Huddleston, 2005) growth in the next three to four years, so new entrants may find the going hard unless they have capital to sustain themselves.
The beverage industry is highly competitive and presents many alternative products to satisfy a need from within. The principal areas of competition are in pricing, packaging, product innovation, the development of new products and flavours as well as promotional and marketing strategies. Companies can be grouped into two categories: global operations such as PepsiCo, Coca-Cola Company, Monster Beverage Corp. and Red Bull and regional operations such as Ro...
