0 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:20,000 Hello and welcome back to That's Ireland. Today we're in Dublin again, but this time 1 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000 we're going to find out a bit more about the commercial side of the city. This is Molly 2 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000 Malone. Now she is one of Dublin's most famous traders. She went round the streets selling 3 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,000 her cockles and mussels. You might have heard the famous Dublin song. In Dublin's fair 4 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:44,000 city where the girls are so pretty, I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone. As she 5 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,000 wheeled her wheelbarrow through the streets broad and narrow, crying cockles and mussels, 6 00:00:50,000 --> 00:01:03,000 alive, alive-o. I'm on Grafton Street. This is Dublin's main pedestrian shopping street. 7 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000 Ireland has some world-class commercial brands and some of these can be found right here 8 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:17,000 on Grafton Street. This is Butler's, my favourite chocolate shop. It was founded in 1932 by 9 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:24,000 Marian Butler, who wanted to create little moments of happiness. Today her chocolates 10 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:33,000 are sold all over the world. This is Bewley's Café. Samuel Bewley was the first person 11 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,000 to import tea into Ireland at a time when tea drinking was not that common. He was able 12 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:46,000 to change the taste of a whole nation, making Bewley's tea a household name in Ireland. 13 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,000 There's no doubt that Ireland's best-known brand is this one, Guinness. So I've come 14 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,000 to the Guinness storehouse to learn a little bit more about the iconic drink, or food as 15 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:04,000 it's sometimes considered. This former fermentation plant has been adapted to tell the history 16 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:13,000 of Guinness beer, or stout. The story is told through various interactive exhibition areas 17 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,000 that cover everything from the ingredients and the brewing process, to the transport 18 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:25,000 and advertising of Ireland's most identifiable brand. The design of the building is in the 19 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:32,000 shape of a pint glass of Guinness, with the trademark creamy colour on top, represented 20 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:44,000 by the 360-degree gravity bar and its fantastic views of the city. The Guinness storehouse 21 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000 gets over a million visitors every year, and I've met one of them. This is Steve. Hi Steve. 22 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,000 Hi, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Steve, what is your favourite part about your tour 23 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,000 here at the Guinness storehouse? My favourite part was in the first stage, the waterfall, 24 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:06,000 and I love the gravity bar, you can see all over Dublin, and of course the free Guinness. 25 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,000 This is where you get your free pint of Guinness. Do you like Guinness? I love Guinness. Good 26 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:21,000 man Steve, well thanks for talking to us. Thank you. So there is an art in pulling a 27 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000 good pint of Guinness, and I want to learn, and Aaron here is going to teach me. Hello 28 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:32,000 Aaron. Hi Ed. Welcome. Thank you. So to start off, firstly, I'm going to give you your glass. 29 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,000 So this is your first step in crafting a perfect pint. Ok. Step number two is your angle. Using 30 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:44,000 the golden harp, aim it directly under the end of the nozzle in front. Ok? This gives 31 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,000 you 45 degrees. Step three, you're going to pull the tap in front of you, all the way 32 00:03:49,000 --> 00:04:04,000 down towards you. Ok. How is that? Did I pass? Looking pretty good. So you'll notice 33 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000 that you presented it with the Guinness and harp facing forward and everything, which 34 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,000 means that having done the six steps, I can present you with your own certificate of crafting 35 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000 a perfect pint of Guinness. Well thank you very much. Congratulations. I'm going to test 36 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:24,000 you now. Sláinte. Sláinte. Lovely.
