When John Martin arrived in Antwerp in 1909, he began importing English beers into Belgium. It was then in 1913 that Guinness entrusted its exports to Belgium to John Martin. The beginning of a beautiful story that makes John Martin the oldest importer of Guinness in the world! Did you know that John Martin brewed his own recipe for Guinness, only for Belgium, as from 1944? Guinness Special Export (or Antwerp Guinness) is still the most popular stout in Belgium today.
