Eamonn will pick you up and drive you to the Liberties area of Dublin which was the historical heartland of brewing and whiskey distilling in Dublin, still home to the famous Guinness brewery since 1759 and full of interesting auld Dublin history and local stories.

We stop at a significant location from medieval Dublin to talk about what life was like in old Ireland for the different classes in society so that we can have some context of where Arthur Guinness and family began and elevated to in life. Great photo stop too as we taste a different Guinness blend at this location.

About Dublin

Dublin is Ireland's friendly, literary capital on the River Liffey, a city of Georgian squares, historic pubs, live music and a gift for storytelling.

Trinity College holds the illuminated Book of Kells and the soaring Long Room library, while Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral and St Patrick's Cathedral trace the city's medieval and colonial past. Georgian squares such as Merrion Square, with their brightly painted doors, and the green expanse of St Stephen's Green provide elegant calm.
