Beer lovers and Irish Rovers fans, you will like today’s post by ‘crowcanyonjournal’.
We had two hop-offs on our sightseeing bus tour of Dublin. The girls got off just past Dublin Castle to visit Dublin’s two great cathedrals, Christ Church and St Patrick’s. And the boys hopped off a few minutes later to tour the Guinness Storehouse, rated as the number one tourist attraction in Dublin. We would soon learn the story of Sir Arthur Guinness, who took over the St James Gate Brewery in 1759 and introduced his magic dark brew to the world.

Although I am German and being born in Bavaria , surprisingly I am not a beer lover at all. Neither I do like Wuerste oder any Fleisch . Yet the history of that beer is quite interesting.

Thanks, Peter, but who knows. I’m still very skeptical about how soon we will overcome this virus at least to an extent that we will be able to travel again.

Thanks. Different from the usual. Visited the Anheuser-Busch brewery in St. Louis many years back during some free time on a work trip. The free beer at the end of the tour turned out to be the clinching argument.
