Dublin is a city of literature and the hometown of stouts. In three days and two nights, between books and taverns, you encounter a storytelling Greentown.
The old library of Trinity College, where the thousand-year-old manuscript "The Book of Kell" gleams in the hall. Oak bookshelves reach the dome, a sanctuary for bookworms.
On the top floor of the Guinness distillery, learn to pour a glass of dark beer, with foam like clouds. Looking down over the whole city, you can see how this "dark beer" has become a symbol of Ireland.
At night at Temple Bar, traditional music (sessions) overflows from the pub, with violins and accordions playing in succession. Order a cup of Irish coffee and listen to strangers tell jokes.
Tracing the footsteps of Joyce and Wilde, wandering through the city of Broomgie turns literature into everyday life. Dublin—even the air has sentences.
Du Bai's warmth is that he also brews stories into the wine. When you are struck by a song in a tavern, you understand: being able to tell stories is itself a kind of talent.
