Guinness World Records are associated with the Irish brewery. There were Guinness pubs (not sure it was a pub that specialized in serving Guinness or a actual Guinness venue) which started collecting information about birds, regarding what we consider a “record”. The idea for the organization itself came from this. If you visit the brewery in Dublin, they sell (or at least back in 2008) sold the current edition of the record book.
The business model for pubs was often a franchise relationship with the brewery. Your local pub could plausibly be a guinness pub that only served guinness beers at the time the record book was first invented.
I was At the Storehouse in 2006 and they didn't have them then.
