The Guinness Open Gate Brewery announced its plans to open in Chicago this summer with a preview party at City Hall in Fulton Market. The Dublin-based brewery chose Chicago for its latest U.S. location which will be located at 901 W. Kinzie. This Open Gate Brewery will be the second American-based facility owned by Guinness, with another location in Baltimore, Maryland, which opened in recent years.

The brewery will be housed in a former railroad depot, with 15,000-sq.-ft. of space. It will include a taproom and a full-service restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. A full service bakery will also be included in the plans, with the company partnering with the Chicago Food Depository to help fight hunger in the community.
During the preview party, guests enjoyed a first look at the food and beverage menu as well as a “tour” of the tap room space through a virtual reality experience. DJ Charles Protégé kept the beats going strong while the Guinness team were on hand to answer any questions.
It’s been the buzz of the brewery scene since Guinness first announced it would be building an Open Gate Brewery right here in Chicago a year and a half ago. It seems like we won’t have to wait much longer!
