Home to the black stuff since 1759, a visit to ST. James Gate Brewery tells the story of one of Ireland's most famous produces. With seven unique floors, the Guinness Storehouse is a fun day out featuring installations, educational videos, 'Pull Your Own Pint' workshops, and finished off with a trip to the Gravity Bar on the seventh floor which boasts 360-degree views of Dublin.
