The Guinness Storehouse

Due to the lack of sleep either of us had for the previous day, Rachel and I decided it would be nice to sleep in. By the time we woke up it was mid afternoon, but we still had some time to get to the Guinness Storehouse before it closed. As we hopped aboard Dublin Bus for yet another adventure. After battling yet another bout of cold weather and wind, we made it inside the world famous home of Guinness. 


The Storehouse had an impressive seven story layout that went from the origins of Guinness, to how it is brewed, all the way up to an amazing 360 degree view of Dublin. We both received tickets for a complimentary pint of Guinness and decided not to learn how to craft the perfect pint, but rather go up to Infinity Bar to enjoy the view as we sipped our brew. Rachel apparently was trying to inebriate me as she decided I should consume both our beverages after also having had a half pint from earlier. I saw right through her intentions but rose up to the challenge and was able to guzzle every last drop of the black stuff so we could make it out before closing time. There were a number of restaurants on the floor beneath us, but unfortunately they closed around the time we were arriving at our bus stop so we settled for the always delicious for a man on a budget McDonald's for our post game festivities.
