If you are a fan of the black stuff known as Guinness then a trip to taste the real thing in Dublin is probably high on your ‘to do’ list. Rent some car hire to Dublin, get on one of them fancy big boats and enjoy a short hop across the water and suddenly you will be in the land of Guinness, leprechauns and erm green stuff?!
The Guinness museum is actually a work of art in itself with it being seven floors surrounding a glass atrium that is in the shape of a pint of Guinness. A tour of the ‘storehouse’, as it is known, will lead you from the bottom floor where you will be introduced to the brewery’s founder, Arthur Guinness and shown the beers 4 ingredients. Then as you go up you will see advertising throughout the company’s history until you get to a live installation of the brewing process.
After watching the brewing process you are at the top of the building in the ‘head’ of the pint, where they have the gravity bar and visitors can claim a free pint of the black stuff. Because the top of a pint is round it also means sitting in the bar you have 360 degree views of Dublin.
It really is an amazing building and definitely one that is worth investigating.
