We departed Trinity, and left for the Guinness Factory. It's located about 15 min by bus, or a 35 minute walk north of the City Centre. The building is designed to be different levels starting from the ground floor at basic raw materials ( hops, barley, water, and yeast) to the finished product on the top level (or gravity bar). In the middle of the circular levels is a glass layer that extends all the way to the top of the structure. This is meant to be the shape of a pint.
