About
Quick facts: Warm malt and toasted barley aromas welcome you as interactive displays walk you through brewing techniques, sensory tastings, and the art of pouring a perfect pint. Head up to a circular rooftop bar for expansive skyline views while you enjoy the creamy head, a finale that explains why more than a million visitors come every year.
Highlights: You can learn the two-step pour for the signature stout, timing it to a 119.5-second settle so the roasted barley aroma and smooth three-finger cream head form flawlessly in your glass. The seven-story brick atrium is shaped like a pint when viewed from above, and the top-floor bar offers a cold glass and panoramic skyline views that highlight the dark, coffee-like flavors.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, exhibits span several floors and include stairs.
- Book a mid-morning weekday slot and head straight to the Gravity Bar for a window seat before crowds arrive.
- Carry photo ID if you want to join the Guinness Academy pour-and-taste session, arrive early for limited spots.
- Use the central atrium and rooftop for photos, avoid peak afternoon light when reflections make window shots harder.
