Guinness Beer

Spending my first few days in Dublin was cool as both Andy and I walked through the town checking out various landmarks and historical structures.

One exciting moment was that we both went to Ireland's famous and number one brewery which was known for producing the dark smooth black shoe polish beer called Guinness.

I had this beer in the past for different occasions especially on St. Patricks day however here in Ireland, St. Patrick's day is everyday and everywhere from north to south and west to east. We can find the beer in almost every pub in a glass or can and it's commonly served to the locals after a hard day in the wheat / grain harvest.

When I tried it for the first time, I was totally "wowsers" as I have never tasted something sooo smooth and good for a beer in my life. Andy and I spend many hours at the brewery learning what make this beer a "stout" and not a lager or an ale. The machinery and the historic timeline of how Guinness became popular today.
