Guinness Storehouse Kicked off Offical St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations Worldwide

Much like the ball dropping in New York City on New Year’s Eve, the 2013 St. Patrick’s Day season around the world began when the first pint of Guinness was pulled at the Guinness Storehouse by Guinness Master Brewer Fergal Murray.

A count-down leading up to the inaugural ritual marked the beginning of holiday celebrations leading into the weekend ahead of St. Patrick’s Day.

In conjunction with the celebration, Guinness Storehouse announced a list of exciting St. Patrick’s Day and Irish-themed festivities throughout March 15-17 to celebrate this national Irish holiday and spread the cheer worldwide.

As the global hub of all St. Patrick’s Day celebrations and home of Guinness, the Guinness Storehouse opened its doors for the weekend to offer revelers an exciting line-up of Irish-infused entertainment and festivities throughout the seven-story building.

Throughout the weekend, the Guinness Storehouse offered a variety of entertainment, a traditional Irish dance show and much more.
