Guinness/Diageo in Dublin have one of these. A whole chunk of the city around Dublin 8. I think they had an advert that they are 250 years of their way through it.

it was, but it got converted to a normal purchase.

The funnier part is that they (Diageo, the owners of Guiness) discussed moving out of the original brewery and the people got so angry that Diageo realized they had to keep it open.

Yeh I remember that. I would stop drinking Guinness forever if they tried that crap. And I'm sure most of Ireland would.
