History (Wikipedia)

"Harp Lager was first produced in 1960 as a bottled beer by the Guiness company (now Diageo), in response to the trend among drinkers in Britain and Ireland towards continental lager. Guinness converted its Dundalk brewery into a modern lager production plant with the guidance of Dr. Herman Muender, a distinguished German brewer. Various names were considered for the brand, includingAtlas, Cresta and Dolphin, before Harpwas chosen. The brand was marketed with the Brian Boru harp as its emblem.

The manufacturer states that Harp is made with pure water from the Cooley Mountains, Dundalk."

Strange Fact: Harp is the largest growing lager in Nigeria. (2014)
