Guinness, the most famous of Irish brew masters, has taken notice of the brewing movement in the U.S., where Americans all over the country are brewing and creating beer labels with much success, and decided it would like to get in on the action. The Guinness Open Gate Brewery & Barrel House, opened on August 3, is just 10 miles from downtown Baltimore. The distillery, … [Read more...] about Guinness with a Baltimore Twist

Today in History

July 2, 1800
