St. James's Gate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. James's Gate, located in Dublin on James street, was the western entrance to the city during the middle ages. Leading into a 64 acre industrial area, St. James Gate was the location of a yearly festival. It became a brewery in 1670 when Giles Mee brewed his first batch. Leased in 1759 by Arthur Guinness, it has been a location of brewing Guinness beer ever since. Recently all Guinness production in the UK has been moved back to the St. James's Gate site.
