"Earlier in January this brewery offered a special menu and brewed a limited-time beer called Midnight Harmony, a black rice lager made with calamansi; it is available on tap and in four-packs for a limited run." - Ashok Selvam
"The sprawling Halethorpe campus feels like a beer‑lover’s destination with a visitor center, experimental brewhouse, 200‑person taproom, tours (including an 1830s kettle from Dublin), and snackable pretzel bites and crab‑dip flatbread — worth the drive while you still can soak up the grounds." - Eater Staff
"Maryland’s Guinness Open Gate Brewery celebrates Oktoberfest over three back-to-back weekends starting Saturday, September 23. Look for five limited-time Oktoberfest beers, live music under a Munich beer tent, stein-holding contests, German food specials, VIP tasting experiences, and limited-edition merch. Pro tip: Leave the car at home and consider taking the Marc train from Union Station to its Baltimore County stop in Halethorpe." - Tierney Plumb
"I note Guinness opened a Baltimore facility in 2018 where it makes exclusive beers; that venue has at times been served by a food truck offering pretzels, ribs, and cheeseboards and previously housed a full-service restaurant before the pandemic." - Ashok Selvam
"America’s sole Guinness Brewery caps off 17 days of St. Patty’s Day celebrations this month with an experimental amber ale brewed with Irish breakfast tea; an ale made with local clover honey from Apex Bee Co.; and a barrel-aged mint chocolate stout brewed with with Vent Coffee Roasters. There are also tap takeovers from Irish breweries Smithwicks, Harp, and Kilkenny. See the full food, beer, and entertainment schedule here. The lawn is dressed with a heated tent, fire pits, and spaced outdoor tables." - Tierney Plumb
