American fans of Ireland’s famous dark stout may soon be able to visit the site where the delectable brew is made without having to book a trip to Dublin. This fall, Guinness plans to open a brewery in Baltimore County, Md., the first of its kind in the United States.

 

Construction is already underway on the brewery/taproom in the Maryland town of Relay, approximately nine miles southwest of the city of Baltimore. Although the brewery will use similar brewing methods to those employed at St. James’s Gate in Dublin, the Maryland location will not brew the dark brown stout on site, but instead will develop its own Americanized beer in the form of a lager. Visitors who crave the traditional stout will still be able to consume it at the U.S. location, but it will be shipped from Ireland, just like every other Guinness pint in the world. That’s how much value the Guinness brand places in authenticity and the perfect pour.

 

Brewers will continuously experiment with ingredients and methods to develop other signature brews catered to the American consumer, all of which will be on tap at the brewery.

 

Scheduled to open on the 200th anniversary of Guinness’s arrival in America, this will also be the first brewery to open in the state of Maryland since before Prohibition.
