Dublin is the European capital home to the Guinness Storehouse, opened in 2000 at the brewery founded by Arthur Guinness.
The Guinness brewery occupies St. James’s Gate in Dublin, where Arthur Guinness signed a famous 9,000-year lease in 1759. The Guinness Storehouse opened as a visitor attraction in 2000 inside a former fermentation plant and explains the history, ingredients, brewing, and global distribution of the stout.
Its top-floor Gravity Bar is known for panoramic views across Dublin. The attraction is not the original starting point of the company’s business: Guinness initially brewed several types of ale before becoming especially associated with porter and stout.
Dublin is the capital and largest city of Ireland, situated on the River Liffey on the country’s east coast. The city’s name has Viking and Gaelic historical roots, reflecting its long urban history.
