The Guinness Storehouse in Dublin was built in 1904 as the main fermentation plant for the St. James’ Gate Brewery. The seven-story steel-framed industrial building was designed in the Chicago School of Architecture style, and was used continuously until 1988 when a new plant was opened near the River Liffey. In 2000, the Storehouse was transformed into a museum and archives containing records and artifacts dating back to 1759. Exhibit areas on all seven floors feature the Guinness history, brewing process, interactive media and artifact installations, a tasting room, dining, live music and performance areas, and topped off colorfully by the Gravity Bar with panoramic views of Dublin. The distinctive interior atrium is shaped like a giant pint glass, and we’re told if filled could hold 14.3 million regular sized pints of the black stuff. Now, that perfect pour would take a long, long time.
