Guinness at City Beerfest!

About Guinness

Arthur Guinness was the first in a long line of Guinness Master Brewers and the craft of brewing at St. James’s Gate Brewery was handed down from generation to generation. On 31st December 1759, the man signed a NINE THOUSAND YEAR lease on St. James’s Gate Brewery in Dublin. If that’s not belief, we don’t know what is. He clearly had one eye on the future! Nowadays, it’s not that hard-to-find people who are willing to quality test a Guinness, with a dedicated quality team hard at work across the globe to ensure only the best quality pint is poured, every time.

Back to the current day, 2025 will see the latest milestone in Guinness’s rich history with the opening of a new micro-brewery, the Guinness Open Gate Brewery, London, at Old Brewer’s Yard. Situated in the historic brewery heartland of Covent Garden, they will welcome you to share a pint of Guinness, to try the unique beers that they’ll brew on-site, take a tour and visit the retail shops, enjoy the outdoor beer garden, and eat at one of their two restaurants.
