I hated that tour. It's self guided, and after having done a very extensive scotch distillery tour in Scotland I found St. James Gate to be an utter waste of my time. And after all that self guided walking up stairs, I got my tiny little sleeve of the worst Guinness I've ever tasted in my life. I couldn't even finish it, it was so bad. Guinness everywhere else in Ireland was fantastic, but it was utter garbage at the brewery for me.
Terrible tour in my opinion.
Maybe you were listening to sportsnet radio the fan960?
