Part of My World: Lovely day at Guinness Storehouse

Do you know where is our next stop ? Yes, you are correct ! It is the famous Guinness Storehouse in Dublin. Wee ~ Guinness Storehouse was a Fermentation Plant from 1904 to 1988. Today, it has 7 storey visitor experience dedicated to the history and making of this world famous beer. We discovered what goes into the making of each and every pint, and learnt about the incredible brand history for over 250 years. One word, "awesome" !

Look at the souvenirs that you can get. Drooling* I heard that some of the souvenirs are limited edition and only available at this place. Is that a good reason for you to come ? Hehe... Winked*

Did you know that this building is designed in the shape of a giant pint of Guinness which can hold up to 14.3 million pints ? OMG !!! I did not know that even though I was there. Haha... Silly me. Anyway, I like the environment here. Very interactive learning experience. Thumbs up*

Our journey started with an introduction to the "Home of Guinness". Here, we discovered the 4 natural ingredients that make the magic drink, Guinness. Abracadabra~

Next, we learnt about step by step through the brewing process. If I am not mistaken, barley is malted, roasted, milled, mixed with hot water and mashed. Then, the liquid is filtered off and boiled with hops.

Later on, yeast is added and fermentation begins. The beer is clarified, matured and prepared for packaging. I hope I am not giving you all the incorrect information. LoL

This is one of my favorite place to see and learn. I find the making of cask very fascinating. After I watched the video, I felt like the craftsmen are geniuses. During that time, there were no machines and all of the casks were made by hands. I cannot imagine how much time and efforts they have given to do this. Salute*

Can you spot the twins ?

We also discovered various transport methods used by Guinness. Very interesting indeed.

This is 100% handcrafted piece of art. It is designed by talented young people from Ireland (I think). It is made of a bit of everything such as wood, aluminium, cloth, clay and etc. It tells the story of Guinness from beginning till today.

These are one of the world's most iconic brands in the history. From the first official Guinness advert that shown in the national British press in 1929, to its current advertising from around world. There is room where you can watch their best TV adverts over the decades. The sound surroundings were amazing. You really need to see this for yourself. Hehe !

I find this oyster funny because it can whistle. Haha ! So cute... It reminds me of Little Mermaid movie from Disneyland. I wish I can bring it home. Giggle*

We went to the Guinness Academy where we learnt to pour our first Guinness. Yeah ! I think mine is on the right, second glass. And guess what ? I have passed the test and got myself a certificate. Haha !

With a final touch, we went to the highest floor to see the 360 degree views of Dublin with our freshly brewed Guinness. Ended our trip with style. Overall, I enjoyed this visit and it is highly recommend to anyone who wish to know more about Guinness or just come here for a drink. Watching the views of Dublin city with a pint of Guinness is a whole new experience that you need to have. I hope you can enjoy it when you are there. Cheers to Guinness !
