Arthur Guinness
45 9000
? Guinness folklore contends that Arthur Guinness did not invent stout; he merely perfected
it. Though all stouts are made from barley, hops, yeast and water, what distinguishes Guinness from other beers in the secret 5 th ingredient the
brewing technique. However the actual reason behind Guinnesss success was not a master blender, but a blunder! The key ingredient Irish
ground barley, used in the ratio of 80% unmalted, 10% malted and 10% roasted, was heated too much, resulting in a dark ruby red brew. The
rest, as they say, is distillery. Spring water from the Wicklow Mountains, low in minerals like magnesium and calcium, is used so Guinness in
Dublin is likely to taste better than anywhere else. The nitrogen head on top of the pint acts as a barrier, sealing the beers taste and
temperature. Learn to pour the perfect pint and drink using the five senses at the Guinness storehouse and also check out Arthur Guinesss
9000-year-old lease for the brewery site at St James Gate and the Directors Safe with a sample of the original starter yeast!

()
The Spire of Dublin, a 398 ft needle-like monument that replaced Nelsons Pillar, was
dubbed Spike in the Dyke, Stiletto in the Ghetto, The Binge Syringe and other unceremonious tags alluding to its shiny stainless steel form.
Legendary fishmonger Molly Malones statue is dubbed Tart with the Cart or Flirt in the Skirt. The statue of two women on a park bench with
shopping bags near Ha Penny Bridge is disparagingly called Hags with Bags. The statue of the river Liffey personified as Anna Livia, is the
Floozy in the Jacuzzi or Bitch in the Ditch. Even famous Irish authors are not spared. Oscar Wildes statue is called The Queer with the Leer and
The Fag on the Crag while James Joyce is The Prick with the Stick! In Belfast, when the Albert Clock Tower inclined due to a sinking base,
locals deemed it better than the Leaning Tower of Pisa, because not only do we have the inclination, we also have the time! The Chandon
Steeple in suburban Cork is known as the Four-faced Liar since its accuracy is questionable.

In 1492 two Irish families, the Butlers of Ormonde and the FitzGeralds of Kildare
were involved in a bloody feud. The Butlers sought refuge in the Chapter House of Saint Patricks Cathedral in Dublin but the FitzGeralds
followed them and asked them to come out and make peace. Fearing for their safety, the Butlers refused. As a token of good faith Gerald
FitzGerald cut a hole in the door and offered his hand in peace to those on the other side. The Butlers honoured his noble intention, shook
hands through the door and the two families were reconciled. FitzGerald had nothing to lose except his hand, which gave rise to the phrase to
chance your arm. The famous Door of Reconciliation is still on display in the Cathedrals north wing.

Bite me! The Dracula was Irish? Dublin-born Irish writer Bram Stoker found inspiration for his 1897
Gothic novel Dracula from several sources. Hungarian writer and traveler rmin Vmbry acted as Stokers consultant on Transylvania with
dark stories from the Carpathian mountains. Though the Romanian prince Vlad Tepes, the Impaler may be an influence, there is an Ireland
connection, too. Old legends talk of Abhartach, an Irish vampire king in 5 th-6th century who rose from his grave to drink the blood of his subjects.
In the late 1800s Bram Stoker visited Killarney in the Ring of Kerry. Its 73
believed the vampire chronicles of Dracula were further shaped by his
late night wanderings around Ross Castle and stories of hermit John Drake who slept in a coffin in Muckross Abbey. Stoker also visited the
crypts of St Michans church in Dublin. Interestingly, Gaelic for bad blood is droch fola. While in Killarney, dont miss the theatrical Original
Ghost Tour of Killarney a trip to die for!
