When we first went to the Guinness storeHouse, I originally thought that it wasn’t going
to be anything special I had thought that they would have just shown us through a
boring factory just showing us how Guinness and other beers were made and then at
in the end they would have given us a free pint of Guinness. But when we entered the
Guinness Storehouse I was thankfully proven wrong. When we first entered, it looked
like a museum exhibit showing props of the ingredients used to make Guinness, like the
wheat fields, grains, and other ingredients. The Guinness storehouse even had
something similar to the Epic museum that I also got a chance to go to. They had these
tablets that would tell us fun facts about Guinness, like how Guinness isn’t black it’s
actually a ruby red due to the roasting of the barley., that ten million bottles are sold
daily because an incredible amount are sold worldwide, and how the Guinness book of
world records were created to settle pub arguments, and many more. My favorite part of
the trip in the storehouse was the taste test area where we would be given a shot of
Guinness and even learned how to drink them. First we must take a big gulp of
Guinness, hold it in, then exhale out of our nose and swallow. Now when I did it it didn’t
really taste any different then it usually does but it was pretty interesting that there was
a specific way to drink a beer. After we had gotten done with the taste test we got to see
statues of the old Guinness mascot and old Guinness bottles. The thing that stood out
to me was the arrangement of lights that made a show that looked exactly like the
Guinness harp. Then at the end of the tour we got to finally get to drink a free pint of
Guinness which when we got done drinking we could finally leave.
