Guinness Saint James Gate
1759 - Operational
Overview
Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000 year lease on a small Dublin brewery in 1759 and brewed ale, then the stout that conquered the world. The Saint James Gate works still ferment and package at scale, with the Gravity Storehouse museum rising above the city.
