Shamrock in the Guinness Head

One thing I never got to do the two previous times I visited Ireland – including the TWO MONTHS I lived down the road from it – was visit the Guinness brewery at St. James Gate. We did that today. It’s been entirely refurbished since then, the whole museum and tour designed as a seven-story pint glass. The top of the glass is a Guinness bar featuring a 360-degree view of the city. I managed to get a bit of a panorama looking toward Trinity College, Christchurch, St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the Irish Sea:

    I never have been much of a fan of stout beer… but 1) a building shaped like a pint is pretty awesome and 2) the shamrock embossed in the top of the foam is FABULOUS!
