Guinness Storehouse: Discover the World-Famous Guinness Brewing Process
Ireland’s foremost international visitor attraction is regarded as the Disneyland for booze lovers. The Guinness Storehouse, located at St. James’ Gate Brewery, was originally built to house the world-famous Guinness fermentation process back in 1904. Up until 1988, the Storehouse was the home of the fermentation process. In 2000, the place was reopened, but as a tourist attraction of seven floors that capture the history of the black stuff.
Viewing the Storehouse from afar will allow anyone to notice that this incredible building is patterned on a giant pint glass that stretched up from the ground floor to The Gravity Bar on the highest floor.
A Great Historical Moment in Beer Brewing History
Beer would not be what it is today if it were not for its rich history that started many centuries ago. The changes that have been made along the way and the moments we have shared celebrating centuries of beer makes it a real world wide phenomenon. Words that are not to be taken lightly, especially once you realize what all it took to give us the beer we enjoy today.
First of all, can you imagine what it would have taken for beer to be invented? The brewing steps of today are quite sophisticated even though they can be simplified somewhat. We boil water with barley in it and then the malt sugars that are released from the boil are boiled with hops. This creates the wort where we then add our yeast. Then, we let it ferment in two different stages called the primary and the secondary.
