At the home of Guinness in the U.S., St. Patrick’s Day is a month-long celebration.
The Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Halethorpe will feature limited edition beer releases, an immersive Irish Village, live music, and trivia nights throughout March.
The three-story brewery – which recently welcomed its one millionth visitor – will release a new St. Patrick’s Day beer every Thursday, starting with an Irish Breakfast Amber.
An immersive Irish Village will take over the brewery’s two-acre lawn March 12-13 and March 17-19, with guided food and beer pairing experiences and Guinness-curated food stalls.
Live performances include The 19th Street Band – whose lead guitarist hails from Northern Ireland – every Saturday and traditional Irish dancers from the McGrath Morgan Academy on Saturdays and Sundays.
Menus are inspired by traditional Irish fare such as corned beef and cabbage and shepherd’s pie. On Sundays, the brewery will bring back its four-course ticketed beer dinner series for $100 per person.
There’s also a secret menu in Gaelic. Hint: the only way to access the secret menu is to follow and DM @GuinnessBreweryUS on Instagram with a four-leaf clover emoji.
The brewery is open every Thursday through Sunday, including special operating hours on St. Patrick’s Day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
