"This is the fourth public-access Guinness Open Gate Brewery in the world, following the flagship St James's Gate Brewery in Dublin, and US spots in Chicago and Baltimore. It's pretty massive, set across a number of Victorian warehouse-style buildings in the cobbled backstreets of Covent Garden, parts of which were once home to eighteenth century brewers Combe & Co and, more recently, the flagship branch of H&M."
"The main surprise was that they don't actually make Guinness's famous stout here (since the Park Royal site closed that's all been done in Dublin), but you'll taste Guinness-made ales, lagers and sours that you won't be able to find anywhere else. St James cranks out three million pints of the black stuff every day, while the Covent Garden brewery will make just 750,000 pints of their various other ales a year."
Guinness opened its first UK public-access Open Gate Brewery in Covent Garden, housed in Victorian warehouse-style buildings with historical brewery and retail links. The site prioritizes experimental brewing and public engagement, producing a range of ales, lagers, IPAs, porters and sours rather than the classic stout. Annual production at Covent Garden is planned at about 750,000 pints, while St James's Gate in Dublin continues to brew around three million pints of stout daily. The venue features visible brewing tanks, branded signage, safety protocols for tours, and a tasting room displaying hops and barley for guided tastings.
