While you can't invest directly in Guinness, you can buy shares in Diageo, which Guinness became a founding part of in 1997. Diageo Plc is listed on the London Stock Exchange with the ticker "DGE", where it's also a constituent of the FTSE 100 index.
It's important to note that Diageo isn't just the parent company for Guinness. By investing in Diageo, you're effectively also buying into a host of other brands, such as Smirnoff, Captain Morgan, Gordon's, Baileys and Pimm's, amongst many many others. So that means the movement of Diageo's share price will be affected by more than just the fortunes of Guinness.
Guinness might take an age to pour, but investing in shares is pretty quick, so if you're still keen, here's how it's done.

Alternative ways to invest in Guinness (Diageo)
Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Guinness (Diageo)), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Guinness (Diageo) is a major part of the London stock exchange, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).
