Guinness Storehouse - the drink of the Irish

Guinness – Ireland´s signature drink and a must-see brewery when visiting Dublin. The brewery and museum is one of the stops the hop-on hop-off tour bus so you simply cannot miss it.

Guinness Storehouse has seven floors, which I simply could not understand before I visited the place. This is a building dedicated to Guinness and great food and drinks in general. This is a place to visit when you want to learn about some traditional Irish history (yes I am indeed referring to Guinness as history), to see a great view of Dublin and to learn more about the art of brewing beer.

The ground floor is where it all begins. This is where you´ll find a souvenir shop and the history of Guinness. On the first floor you´ll learn more about the process of brewing Guinness and learn more about how Guinness is transported worldwide.

Fun fact; did you know that Guinness is shipped to over 150 countries?

The second floor offers a tasting experience and this is of course one of the highlights at the Storehouse. And after tasting Guinness you can move further up to the third floor, which shows the world of advertising. Guinness has a lot of imagination and it is great fun to see all the different types of advertising. Some people has been very creative.

If you want to learn how to pour the perfect pint of Guinness, then you have to make a stop at the fourth floor as well. That is an art itself and you will be able to impress people with your newly learned skills.

At this point you´re probably getting hungry, which is good because there are a couple of restaurants on the fifth floor. There is a dining hall, a bar & brasserie and a bar so there is something for everyone.

The main event of the Guinness Storehouse is the drink with a 360-degree view of Dublin at the gravity bar. This is on the 7^th floor, and even though you can enjoy a pint of Guinness on the sixth floor as well, the view at the gravity bar really is spectacular.

You can easily spend a few hours here and it really is a must-see attraction when visiting Dublin.
