What does a pint of Guinness really hold? More than a drink. More than a brand. It holds memory, migration, ritual, and belonging. Pints and Power is a cultural memoir poured across centuries and continents. From the streets of Dublin to a pub stool in Worcester, Michael Villa explores how Guinness became more than a stout—it became a symbol, a ritual, and a quiet kind of power. This First Pour Edition in paperback is the first generally available printing of the book.
