Introduction

Guinness Storehouse is Dublin's most popular tourist experience. This seven-story immersive exhibition is housed in a 1904 fermenting building at St James's Gate — the birthplace of Guinness — telling the 250-year story of the black stout from barley, hops, water and yeast through roasting, pouring and tasting, culminating in the top-floor Gravity Bar with 360° Dublin skyline views and a perfectly poured pint. The building is shaped like a giant pint glass — each of seven floors has a theme: ground floor introduces the four ingredients and Arthur Guinness's 1759 lease; floor 1 explores water, barley, hops and yeast; floor 2 roasting and tasting; floor 3 advertising history and "Guinness is Good for You"; floor 4 the art of pouring the perfect seven-step pint; floor 5 Guinness and Irish culture; floor 7 the Gravity Bar. Visiting to experience the richness of the black stout and Dublin's skyline in the 250-year legend of Ireland's national drink is a must-do cultural experience in Dublin.
