Ireland is famous for its brewing traditions, and tourists who come to Dublin, of course, can not help but visit the museum located on the territory of the famous Guinness Brewery. This is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Irish capital, Dubliners themselves make up only 5% of visitors.

The brewery was founded in 1759, and already in 1838 it became the largest in Ireland, and in 1886 - the largest in the world ... Now it is the world's largest producer of dark malt beer - stout.

The seven-story building of the fermentation shop, in which the museum is located, was built in 1902, the shop worked until 1988. In 1997 it was decided to transfer the Guinness Museum here. The new museum opened in December 2000. Seven floors surround the atrium made in the form of a pint beer glass. If this "glass" is filled with beer, it will hold 14.3 million pints.

The first floor expositions tell about the four main ingredients from which beer is brewed: water, barley, hops and yeast. It also contains materials about the founder of the company, Sir Arthur Guinness. On other floors, it is told about the history of the brewery, brewing technology, varieties and types of beer. Here you can see a collection of posters and beer bottles and learn how you can use beer in various dishes.

There is a bar on the seventh floor and a pint of beer is included in the admission ticket. On the third and fourth floors there is a business center, where various conferences, etc. are held.
