'St. James's Gate', located off the south quays of
Dublin, on James Street, was the western entrance to the city during the middle ages. Now central to a 64 acre industrial area, St. James Gate was the location of a yearly festival. It became the site of a brewery in 1670 when Giles Mee brewed his first batch. Leased in 1759 by Arthur Guinness, the site has been a location for brewing of Guinness beer ever since. Recently all Guinness production in the UK has been moved back to the St. James's Gate site.
