A pint of Guinness in Dublin

Dublin is Ireland's capital city, located near the midpoint of Ireland's east coast, on the River Liffey. It is a vibrant city with a thriving music scene and has been voted one of the top 25 cities of the world to live in. And what's a day in Dublin without a pint of Guinness? One of the world's most successful beer brands and an Irish staple, this dark stout -- a beer made from roasted barley hops, water and yeast -- has a characteristic burnt flavour and a thick creamy head. Dublin is also famous for the Temple Bar, a popular meeting spot and the location of many of the city's cultural institutions. It is not far from the river, which is crossed by the famous Ha'penny Bridge. Enjoy these snapshots of life from Dublin.
