Guinness Open Gate Brewery

Guinness Open Gate Brewery

The Guinness Open Gate Brewery is the latest in a line of Guinness experimental breweries going back to 1904. It's where our brewers are charged with exploring new ideas in beer that we can then share in small batches in our tap room. Beers selected for further development are brewed in greater volume in Brew House 4 at St. James's Gate or in one of Guinness's other breweries overseas. All Guinness innovations around the world are developed at the Guinness Open Gate Brewery.  

Located in The Liberties, there has been an experimental brewery at St. James’s Gate going back over 100 years. In 2015, Guinness took the step to open its gates and share its creativity and beer innovation with everyone.  

From Wednesday to Sunday beer fans can meet the team of Guinness Beer Specialists to chat all things beer, brewing and hops in the experimental brewery – or just shoot the breeze, they’re a friendly bunch! The bar space features an open wall looking over the production area and industrial seating - the perfect setting to explore and discover various beer styles and flavours.  

The Guinness Open Gate Brewery also offers a newly revamped, outdoor beer garden, where you can sit down and enjoy some delicious food and brews in their cosy new snugs.
