Raise a Pint at Guinness Open Gate Brewery BEHIND THE SCENES If you want a perfect pint of Guinness, you’ve got two choices—hop a flight to Dublin or make your way to Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Baltimore. Not only is Open Gate the only Guinness brewery in the United States, it’s the only Guinness Innovation Brewery outside of St. James Gate, meaning you can sample the original Extra Stout along with only-in-Maryland site-brewed creations such as Guinness Milk Stout, Hazy IPA, and the signature Guinness Baltimore Blonde. Take a tour through this renovated whiskey distillery for an inside look at the cutting-edge brewing process accompanied by 260 years of Guinness history and artifacts, including the iconic art of John Gilroy (in addition to the seals and toucans, Gilroy even painted crabs). With a sprawling outdoor space offering everything from food trucks to live entertainment, the traditional pub atmosphere of the Taproom, and the upscale experience of The 1817 Restaurant, the Guinness Open Gate Brewery is a journey worth taking.
