We toured the Guinness Brewery when we were in Dublin several years ago. It's a fun tour, quite interesting in a lot of parts (the barrel-making video from the '30s and the demonstration were amazing), and at the end you can go up to the top of the tower at their very own pub for a panoramic view of Dublin while sipping a Guinness (which, by the way, tastes MUCH better in Dublin than anywhere else).
Another great article, James, and Happy New Year to all!
I toured it in 2007 just prior to deploying to SW Asia. My son was with me (along with his mother, my now ex-wife). He lives in Chicago where Guinness opened a brewery and we visited it and enjoyed a beer or two 17 years after our Dublin trip! Was surprised as well by the calorie count!

Henceforth to be added to our list of Festivus Miracles! (Especially now that a glass of wine is considered ‘celebratory’ 👌🏼)
Fun story! Thank you

Guinness is good for you!
