Dublin Pub Guide

Dublin Pub Guide Must Do: The Guinness Tour.

There are many things that you can do when you are a Dublin tourist. However, there is one thing that you need to do if you enjoy drinking or going to pubs, which is to take the Guinness tour. While the tour is not of the actual Guinness brewery, the storehouse tour does cover how their beers are made.

An Overview of the Guinness Tour:

The Guinness tour is seven floors of exhibits. This does seem long, but most of the rooms are large because it is so popular and the crowds can be large. The tour uses both audio and visual exhibits to explain the process of making beer and the long history of the brewery.

You can also learn the secret of why Guinness bubbles fall down, not up. This is true; every glass of beer made by Guinness will have the white bubbles fall down. You just need to ask one of the bartenders at the beer sampling station, at about the halfway mark of the tour, and they will explain what is going on with the bubbles.

There is Free Beer

It would not be a tour of a brewery without sampling the beer, and the sampling is held in the Gravity Room. The pub is a round room, and all the walls are made of glass, so you can see most of Dublin along with the mountains and the bay.

Your Guinness tour ticket allows you to receive a free pint. There is a one drink limit, and there is no way that you can buy another pint at the Gravity Room pub. However, you can buy more at the storefront later on. So, you should go enjoy yourself in the pub because many people will try to get a second pint from the bartender during the tour

Learn How to Pull the Perfect Pint:

The other option for your drink ticket is to take a bartending lesson. In the museum tour, there is a station where you can learn to pull your own perfect pint. You can then drink your pitcher. This is a fun way of using your drink ticket.

However, it should be noted that you will need to wait for this lesson. The bartenders teach tiny groups and most times the lesson takes between 15 to 20 minutes.

The Guinness tour is a must do for any Dublin tourist. The tour may not be in the real brewery, but the storehouse tour is designed to cover all the major points of the brewing process. There are also weird facts about beer and the history of Guinness on display. If you are a fan of drinking Guinness, you should plan to stop at the storehouse for the tour.
