The complex's old stone buildings are arranged to let beer flow downhill, so grain is stored at higher elevations while kegs are filled in low-lying areas next to Dublin's River Liffey. And the world-renowned stout is still as dark and creamy as ever. But little else about Guinness has stayed the same. The company has undergone a radical overhaul of its core brewing operations in recent years.
