If you’ve ever been to Dublin, you’ve probably visited the Dublin Storehouse. And if you haven’t, you’ve definitely heard of it. Sometimes called the Guinness Brewery, it’s one of the top attractions in the city.
There’s also a new show on Netflix called House of Guinness, which is a fictional story loosely based on the Guinness family. While there is some truth to the show, such as Arthur campaigning for Parliament and Anne having an undiagnosed illness, it’s mostly just entertaining.
Located in Dublin’s Liberties neighborhood, it’s easy to access from just about anywhere in the city. We walked from Kilmainham Goal, but it was a hike, so if you don’t prefer walking, I suggest taking an Uber or taxi.
There are several ticket options you can purchase. From a standard self-guided tour (includes a pint!) to the Guinness Academy, which is where you are taught how to pour the perfect pint of Guinness! This was the option we chose and it was worth it. It includes the self-guided tour as well as a free pint once you reach the top floor.
The self-guided tour takes you through the process of how the beer is brewed, including a rundown of all the ingredients. It’s fascinating if you’re interested in the brewing process, but the highlight is of course the Guinness Academy. Hold the glass at a 45-degree angle and pour until it reaches the harp. Then you let it sit for a few minutes while the CO2 rises. Then you finish pouring with the glass upright and let it sit again. Slรกinte!
The last stop on the tour is the tasting room at the top, where you can turn in your token for your free pint (which could also be your second “free” pint if you did the Academy). It has floor-to-ceiling windows so you can see the surrounding area, and there are even a few more tidbits about Guinness! But honestly, make sure you sit and enjoy the view for a few minutes (if you can find a seat! It gets quite busy.)
