The iconic James’s Gate brewery drew more than 1.7 million guests over the previous 12 months.
That represents a major increase of some 32% on the number of visitors recorded over the course of 2018.
Over that time an incredible 1.1 million pints of the black stuff were served to those in attendance.
Some 48,000 portions of beef and Guinness stew were also served along with nearly 50,000 oysters – a popular seafood pairing with the iconic Irish brew.
