There Are Only 2 US States With A Guinness Brewery

Guinness is often thought of as a specifically Irish import, but there are actually two Guinness breweries in the U.S., located in Baltimore, Maryland, and Chicago, Illinois.

Maryland's Baltimore area is known for its brewing history and its overall appreciation for beer, which may have prompted Guinness to open its first brewery here in 2018.

Five years later, Guinness picked Chicago for its second U.S. brewery, seeing it more as a natural extension of the first. Both the breweries are named Guinness Open Gate Brewery.
