Overview
Dublin was once the biggest whiskey producing region in the world. Come along and see where the great distilleries of the 19th century once were as well as where some of the most exciting distilleries of the 21st century have set up. That's not to mention the Brewing culture, past and present of the city. Guinness are the giants of Irish beer, but there are great small breweries that I look forward to introducing you to.
The listed itinerary is flexible and can be potentially changed to accommodate particular interests. As listed, it involves about 4km of walking (60-75 minutes) through some of the oldest, most historic and characterful parts of the city, with a few stops along the way at points of interests and recommended watering holes.
As an industry veteran, I can provide insight into the industry as well as give off-the-beaten-track recommendations, so you can experience the city, and its drinks, as a local does.
