The factory
The tour is at the 1st factory which production of beer has ceased.
In its heyday, 700000 bottles was produced daily.
The copper vats still looks good.

The VIP experience
On top of the factory is the skybar. You can have another beer or something else. Enjoying the view and breeze with a beer in hand. That's life! The VIP experience allows me to have a sampling of another 5 beers with different cheeses. This was in a quiet...
Great photo tour
I visited a few years back & really enjoyed it too. Didn't know about the VIP tour - as would have done that. If you ever go to Dublin - go to the Guinness brewery, it's just as good. Cheers JML
