So, I was in Ireland for a couple of days. In between the bouts of bad weather and other whatnots, we still managed to do a lot of city touring. Dublin is a fairly interesting city, and one of the highlights of it is oppurtunity tour the Guinness factory. I am not a huge fan of beer, but I did know that Guinness, one of the famous beer, originated from Dublin.
To avoid the long tourist lines we treked out to the Guinness Storehouse fairly early in the morning. The tour itself is a self guided tour and costs 14 euros which is not that expensive considering you get a free pint of beer at the end.
Each level you go up explains all the different ingredients into making the beer etc. In one of level there's a bit of a video section which is interesting but not very interactive, they take your picture and let you email it to your friends and there is an entire floor dedicated to Guiness advertisments which is interesting.
The whole museum is split up into about 7 levels and the building is shaped really cool as well. It’s in the shape of a pint of Guinness which is really cool to look at.
Anyways we finished our self guided tour at the 7th level of the bulding named the Gravity Bar which is the highest point in the Store House and has a look out all over Dublin. This is also where you get your free pint of Guinness. The gravity bar is pretty sweet as you can see the panoramic view of the entire Dublin City skyline from above enjoying your free pint of Guinness beer.
