Description

Only one beer can make up the "perfect pint" and that, of course, is Guinness! Guinness is one of the most successful beer brands worldwide. It is a popular Irish dry stout that originated in the brewery of Arthur Guinness (1725–1803) at St. James's Gate, Dublin. It is brewed in almost 60 countries and is available in over 100.

The dark, full flavored brew is an iconic symbol of the Emerald Isle, and even non-drinkers often have a taste when visiting the country. The Dublin Storehouse is a delightful tourist attraction, ending with samples of the well loved stout. The Storehouse is laid out over seven floors surrounding a glass atrium shaped in the form of a pint of Guinness. The seventh floor houses the Gravity Bar with views of Dublin and where visitors may drink a pint of Guinness included in the price of admission.

The unique flavor of Guinness is derived from roasted unmalted barley. The draught beer's thick, creamy head comes from mixing the beer with nitrogen when poured.
