This was one of the best self-guided tours ive been on in awhile…read more Im a huge lover of guinness, and this has been on my bucket list for awhile - and it really blew me out of the park. When we first arrived, we were put into a queue (& I would suggest getting a reservation). We went through very quickly and were told a short snippet before the tour. Then we were free to explore. This entire tour really immersed you through the brewing process. I learned so much about my favorite beer! At one of the floors, youre able to smell the aromas, and then understand the best way to taste guinness, it was so fun! My favorite floor was the marketing or branding floor- I love the campaigns and backgrounds behind them. This was also great for various photo ops. You end out the tour on the 7th floor, at the bar. This gives you an entire 360 view of Dublin, and one you can only see with a ticket. You also get a free guinness (or other beer from them)! I loved this tour, all of the staff was great, and I will go every time im in Dublin!!

MUST make reservations before showing up. We tried visiting but they were at capacity for the day…read more We made reservations on line to visit the next day. You walk through a self guided tour which explains the process of making the beer and the origins of the company. You get a ticket for a beer of soft drink which can be redeemed at the top floor. Once you get there you can see the view of Dublin which is very nice, however it is crowded as hell so you may not find a seat to take in the view. The gift shop is very nice. We got quite a few souvenirs for the family.

The highlight was at the end, where you go up to their observation lounge for a drink and the view. The view of the city was nice, sit down, relax and enjoy a drink while taking in on the view. If you do go up to the top for the view and the drink, try to book your tour early, as around 11:30am, the place was packed.

Stop along the way for a tasting and your face on top of a Guinness. The interactive and immersive tour is amazing and has you craving a beer from the moment you step into the academy.

It was interesting to learn the steps of pouring the perfect pint of Guinness. I never knew there…read morewere two steps to it, I just order and wonder what takes so long :-p They teach you the perfect angle to hold your glass, when to stop pouring, wait, wait some more, then top it off. Thankfully, you get to drink that pint (maybe two if you're lucky) after you pour it. You can choose to drink it in the Academy itself, walk around with it, or even bring it into the restaurants upstairs to drink it. You even get a certificate after (even if your pour was less than perfect).

The servers and bartenders were helpful and very nice.

I'm a picky beer drinker (sucker for higher ABV craft beers) and wasn't impressed by their own brews (tried the flight with their current 5), but I enjoyed my Irish coffee after that and their Guinness is properly poured and as fresh as it gets. Enjoy!

So the 5 Lamps are not brewing near the 5 lamps anymore but instead even moved southside... ;-)…read more I got to visit the brewery with the first ever tour organised by Hop On Craft Beer Tours and it was only the second tour ever of the brewery. I love their Lager and whenever I see it in a pub I'd go for it. So I was happy to see where and how it gets brewed. What a surprise. I knew they aren't big but didn't expect them to be too tiny and still very productive. Despite having to lable all bottles by hand! William, the head brewer, did the tour and after over 20 years brewing for Guinness he definitely know what he's talking about. And he loves to share his knowledge. All his heart is now definitely in 5 Lamps. We got to try their Red Ale which I would go for without hesitation too if it were on tap in a pub. So have a look out for them and Hop On Craft Beer Tours if there are more tours to come - definitely a very intersting and personal introduction into the Brewery.

And plus, I was super hungry and didn't want to have my Guinness tasting on an empty stomach, so my friends and I opted to eat here. I knew exactly what I wanted to order, so I only ordered the GUINNESS BEEF STEW. The beef stew was very rich and nice. It had a good amount of beef pieces inside. The potatoes inside were very soft/creamy. The dish was carb/protein loaded, which satisfied my hungry stomach.
