Day 5 - Guinness Brewery

 The Guinness Storehouse is a remodeled building based on the original St. James' Gate brewery. The building is built around a huge pint glass atrium. As you walk into the building you feel as if you've walked into a large glass pint with glass spilling down from above.

9,000 year lease signed by the Guinness family when establishing their brewery. Talk about a commitment.

The ingredients section is where visitors can touch, smell and feel the ingredients through interactive displays.

The brewing section was a noisy, steamy and 'hoppy' area that mimicked the brewing process and provided a full explanation of each step.

Amen to this historic Guinness advertising slogan. For some reason, this tagline resonated with me. 💗

Officially certified and enjoying the fruits of my labor. I'm not kidding about the certification. I received a certificate for pouring a perfect pint of Guinness.
