The King has officially opened the Guinness Open Gate Brewery London, where he tasted brews exclusive to the site, met Diageo’s Learning for Life hospitality graduates, and joined a festive celebration with local community groups and businesses in Old Brewer’s Yard.
The Guinness Open Gate Brewery, a £73 million investment, contains a microbrewery, visitor experience, restaurants, shops, and events space, and will now serve as the UK southern hub for Diageo’s award-winning Learning for Life programme.
The London site is the fourth Guinness Open Gate Brewery site globally. The original Guinness Storehouse, at St James’ Gate in Dublin, celebrated its 25th anniversary this year and has welcomed more than 25 million visitors since opening. The three existing Guinness Open Gate Brewery locations are Dublin, Baltimore and Chicago, where 266 years of Irish brewing expertise meets American beer culture and creativity.
On arrival at the site, The King was greeted by Chairman of Diageo, Sir John Manzoni. His Majesty was then taken on a short tour of the microbrewery, meeting the team who create special Guinness brews, unique to the Covent Garden site.
