Dublin, Ireland

Dublin dominates stout production as the home of Guinness, brewing 10 million pints daily at St. James's Gate—the world's largest stout brewery, pouring the driest, creamiest stout at 4.2% ABV. It outperforms #8 Cologne with 20-plus independent breweries like Rascals and White Hag, which have doubled the city's craft output since 2016, offering IPA and barrel-aged sours alongside the iconic pint. The Guinness Storehouse attracts 1.5 million annual visitors, 35% more than any other brewery tour globally, solidifying Dublin's blend of heritage and innovation.
