I was glad to be part of it too! ![](https://thejessicat.com/wp-content/plugins/fckeditor-for-wordpress-plugin/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/heart.gif)
Inspired by Arthur Guinness' bold legacies, this year's series of month-long Guinness parties pays tribute to the founder of Guinness, a man who dared to make bold choices in his time.

What exactly did he do, you wonder? ![](https://thejessicat.com/wp-content/plugins/fckeditor-for-wordpress-plugin/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/omg_smile.gif)
Well, while other brewers boiled their barley back in the day, Arthur Guinness made the bold decision to roast his, creating a brew with more flavour, more taste and more look, which we now fondly know as the iconic black brew – Guinness.

Soon after, theboyfie and I decided to check out the much-talked about Arthur's Lounge.
It looks like a huge container/caravan thingy from a distance.

Let's enter and find out….

Guinness draught stations were all lined up for guests to learn how to make their own pints!
![](https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8299/7986139458_c1ab979815_b.jpg)
One of the Guinness boys taught me how
I've always wondered how they made a pint so smooth, frothy and foamy! ![](https://thejessicat.com/wp-content/plugins/fckeditor-for-wordpress-plugin/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/omg_smile.gif)
Finally, my question was answered as I was taught how to make my own pint of Guinness.
![](https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8030/7986131687_66998744ed_z.jpg)
Success! My very own frothy Guinness and I ![](https://thejessicat.com/wp-content/plugins/fckeditor-for-wordpress-plugin/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/heart.gif)
