Guinness Storehouse

[daholl01]

One of the good things about studying abroad in London is when I travel to different cities around Europe is to taste their regional brews. I posted a couple weeks ago when I was in Brussells, and I was in Dublin last weekend so here are some pictures from the Guinness Storehouse:

Me grabbing a handful of their roasted barley to give it a taste.

Sampling Guinness North Star in the tasting room.

If you look closely in the safe you can see their "secret" yeast. Just a prop.

View from the famous Gravity Bar on the top floor of the storehouse where you are greeted with a free pint.

The gate

We had a great time, the Storehouse is huge, 7 floors of Guinness - which by the way is about as common in Dublin as water. A tip for anyone who plans on visiting, book tickets to the Storehouse online, you save 10% and get to walk past a line that looked like it would take an hour or two to get through.

Nice pictures, I was in Dublin, and four other cities in Europe, in June this year. The store house was cool. Definitely get your tickets online, thats what we did, and it saved a bunch of time plus some money. Lots of good beer in Dublin. Paul

Nice.

What did you hink of the Northstar?
I don't think it is that good. To light and made for the mass market if they can convince anyone to drink it.

The secret is to go up to the Gravity Bar (top) early and get your fill. Then work your way down and then back up if necessary.

That is exactly what I told my girlfriend, too light and no real flavor.
