Built around the original 1904 fermentation plant, the Guinness Storehouse traces the beer's history from Arthur Guinness's 9,000-year brewery lease signed in 1759 through brewing, cooperage, and advertising. The self-guided tour ends at the rooftop Gravity Bar, where the included pint comes with a panoramic view over Dublin.
