Why the new home of Guinness is right here in the US

by

What happens when you combine over 260 years of Irish brewing experience with American beer creativity? 

You get the Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Maryland - the only place in the whole world where you can find these two qualities together. 

When Guinness' new US brewery opened in August 2018, it became the first Guinness brewery on US soil since 1954. The brewery was warmly welcomed, greeting its 100,000th visitor less than three months after opening. 

Part of what makes Guinness' Maryland outpost so special is that it isn't a mere replica of the St. James' Gate brewery in Dublin; it's a Guinness brewery with a distinctly American flavor, inspired by Maryland's booming craft beer scene.
