5th – 8th October
Annual Trip: Dublin, Ireland
Including a trip to Powerscourt Gardens – one of Europe’s great treasures and Ireland’s most famous gardens. A visit to the STOREHOUSE which was originally built in 1904 to house the GUINNESS fermentation process. This incredible building was constructed in the style of the Chicago school of architecture, with massive steel beams providing the support for the structure of the building. The STOREHOUSE building housed the fermentation of GUINNESS beer until 1988, and in November 2000, the new addition to Dublin tourism opened its doors.
The core of the GUINNESS STOREHOUSE building is modelled on a giant pint glass, stretching up from reception on the ground floor to The Gravity Bar in the sky. If filled, this giant pint would hold approximately 14.3 million pints of GUINNESS!
