The Economy & Guinness
This afternoon we took a trip to
the Guinness Storehouse. We walked through the exhibits that taught us how
Guinness makes its beer, which was really interesting but I would have
preferred watching workers actually do it rather than set up exhibits about it.
The building itself was gigantic and was shaped like a giant pint glass.
It seems as though Ireland really
prides themselves on the production of Guinness. There has not yet been a
street without a Guinness advertisement or restaurant that doesn’t use Guinness
in at least on of their recipes. I
haven’t tried Guinness beef stew yet, but I definitely plan on it.
Its just so crazy how the entire
country seems to revolve around the production and consumption of a single type
of beer. The company has hundreds of workers, and without it, unemployment
rates would sky rocket higher than the extreme high they are already at.
