Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Explore the Old World architecture, traditions and flavors of Dublin during this memorable, half-day city excursion to the Guinness Storehouse.
Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 1.5-hour orientation drive through Dublin City.
Next, proceed to the Guinness Storehouse at the St. James Gate Brewery, birthplace of the world's most famous creamy stout. The brewery first saw the light of day near this spot over 250 years ago. Upon arrival, enter the Guinness Storehouse, an entertaining exhibition on the history of Guinness. During your self-guided walking tour, see, hear and smell the ingredients as they make their way through a series of vast machines and processes before becoming world-famous Guinness stout. In addition, view Guinness advertising and a showcase on how the product has been brought to market over the years with virtually every type of transportation.
At the end of the visit, discover how important it is to "pull the perfect pint"; the way to hold the glass, the speed it enters the glass, the time for the pint to settle and the final touch that gives the pint a creamy head.
