The Guinness Storehouse, an iconic Dublin landmark, began its journey in 1759 when Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000-year lease on the St. James's Gate Brewery. The Storehouse itself was constructed in 1902 as a fermenting house, and was the heart of the Guinness brewing process. Its unique design with a steel frame, resembling an enlarged pint glass, set a new architectural standard.

In 1988, brewing ceased at the site, but it was reborn in 2000 as a visitor experience. The seven-story building offers an immersive journey through the rich heritage of Guinness. From its humble beginnings to its global fame, the Storehouse exhibits the art of brewing, advertising history, and the importance of the brand to Dublin's heritage.

The Guinness Storehouse has quickly become Ireland's top tourist attraction, welcoming over 20 million visitors since its opening.
