He knew that in Ireland blonde beers are not popular, therefore began production of brown / stout. In multi-tiered Museum Learn all about Guinness – anything is possible with the five senses. And if you’ve played enough, the next step would be to lose your nights in flavored beer’s Temple Bar from entertainment neighborhood.
