When you’re planning a trip to Dublin, Ireland you will want to make sure you save some time to check out the Guinness Storehouse. If you’re a beer lover or just love the history of Ireland you can learn so much within the walls of the Guinness Storehouse.

Starting in the Atrium, which is the largest pint glass in the entire world and reaches seven stories high; this alone is a beautiful and momentous sight to see. If filled with beer, the atrium would hold 14.3 million pints of delicious Guinness beer! At the bottom of the glass is the lease which is signed by Arthur Guinness for 9000 years! He signed on the St. James’ Gate Brewery in Dublin marking the very beginning of the story of Guinness.

You will learn about all the ingredients and special traditions that go into making the world’s best beer and also have the option to buy memorabilia at the gift shop including clothing and other fun souvenirs. One fun souvenir you should definitely get is the personalized bottle of Guinness extra stout or the certificate of Genealogy for your ancestors if you are from Ireland originally.

The fourth floor of the Guinness Storehouse is dedicated to teaching you how to pour the “perfect pint”. Ambassadors who are skilled in the craft of pouring the perfect glass of beer will educate you and even give you a certificate so that you can show off to your friends back at home. Plus once you’ve learned to pour the perfect pint you will get to drink it right there.

The Source Bar is located on the fifth floor; here you can enjoy some of the most delicious foods and beers along with some amazing views of the St James’ Gate Brewery as it brews some of its classic delicious beer. Over one million glasses of Guinness beer is drank around the world every day!
