Description
Discover what sets an excellent Guinness apart on a premium tasting tour through Dublin's pubs. Spend approximately 2.5 hours with a local Dublin guide, enjoying three full pints in three carefully selected pubs, with a maximum of 10 guests. Take time to appreciate each pint. Explore how freshness, temperature, glass condition and the pour shape the head, texture and flavour. Learn what Guinness turnover can tell you about a pub, compare your impressions and develop your judgement. Your guide chooses the pubs for Guinness quality, character and atmosphere, adapting to crowds and conditions on the day. Between tastings, hear stories of Dublin, Guinness and the pub's place in Irish social life. A group of no more than 10 leaves space for conversation and individual questions. Finish with a deeper appreciation of Guinness and the confidence to recognise a great pint for yourself.

Your guide introduces the glass, head and presentation, then explores freshness, temperature, the pour, texture and flavour.

Compare your next full pint with the first, share your impressions and discover how turnover and serving conditions can influence quality. Continue to the final pub with more stories of Guinness and Dublin pub culture. Walks between pubs take approximately 5-15 minutes. Third tasting: trust your judgement. Bring the experience together over your final full pint, discussing what you notice and which qualities you value. You do not have to finish every drink. Three pubs and three full pints are included.
