Virtual Guinness Storehouse Tour
January 3rd, 2008 1:37 PM
One of my first stops in Dublin was the Guinness Storehouse where I did the self-guided tour and had a pint of Guinness at the top. Many think the tour is uninspired and boring, but I did enjoy it.
Walking to Guinness!
Yet more walking…
Crane Street Gate at St. James’s Gate
What? More walking?
Some of John Gilroy’s famous ads on display outside.
Finally at the entrance.
Guinness sign at Market Street entrance.
Starting the ridiculously expensive tour.
Ingredient #1: Barley
At St. James’s Gate Brewery, Guinness use 100,000 tonnes of Irish grown barley per year.
Ingredient #2: Hops
Ingredient #3: Yeast
Ingredient #4: Water
Cheesy Ingredient #5: Arthur Guinness
Some sort of control panel
Here, you can pour your own pint or wait until the end of the tour.
Tasting lab
Looking back at the beginning of the tour
Huge display about coopering
Walking among Guinness ads from the last century
Lots and lots of Guinness advertising, mostly by John Gilroy.
Even more Guinnes ads.
Enjoying pints and the view at Guinness’s Gravity Bar at the top.
Guinness’s faithful pouring pints at the top.
Guinness also has their own (much better) virtual tour, though if possible, do it in person! Not only will you get the best-tasting, freshest pint of Guinness ever but you’ll also be in Ireland!
