Swore off Guinness after they supported the homos int eh St Patrick’s day parade.

Where? The old Natty Bo plant in Baltimore?

[ameribbean expat]

Becks is made in St Louis, Fosters in GA, now Guiness in MD. Knock it off.

I remember visiting relatives outside of Baltimore. Passed by a Carling brewery, I think.

If The Donald did drink,, I bet he would be OK with Guinness.. even tho he has a bit of a Bavarian ancestry.. albeit he has a father from the Rhineland and a mother of Scottish birth.

Guiness is brewed in over 50 countries.

I have to say that I was surprised how good it tasted out of the tap in Dublin. It really makes a difference. The best tasting draft I had was in a pub that cleaned the tubing nightly. The barkeep made a point of telling us this because....he was proud and Irish and just a great guy.

Sadly, that brewery was demolished. I believe the site in question was Calvert Distillery a few iterations ago.

[VanShuyten]

Actually, it will just be a bottling plant for beer brewed in Ireland. After a few years, they will decide if they will do any brewing here.

Becks has been destroyed with that move. Mississippi River water does not make good beer, and Becks had its flavor changed.

I hope Guiness doesn’t screw this up.

However, Yuengling’s Black and Tan does very well.

Guinness???!!!!

Ugh. Oh well. Jamison still safe?

[GreyFriar]

Hopefully Guinness will institute a very strict quality control system for its brewery. I remember trying the domestic Lowenbrau brewed her by Miller’s and Tuborg, whom I don’t remember who had the concession for brewing. They made Pabst and Black Label taste like ultra high quality beer. I visited the Tuborg brewery in Denmark and the guide told of the failure of its contract brewery in the States and I told him that he was completely correct and that the “Tuborg” was definitely inferior.

[Ten Beers Gone]

The Carling/Tuborg/Heileman brewery - a landmark on the southwest side of Baltimore's Beltway, Interstate 695 - was demolished in 2005. The new Guinness brewery will indeed be housed in one of the large brick buildings still on the site of the old Calvert Distillery - which is about two miles from the former brewery location and not far from where I live. The Calvert Distillery was a bottling center for Diageo up until about 18 months ago, but they closed that operation and laid off over 100 people.

As you can imagine, the prospect of 60 new jobs has generated quite a bit of excitement in the area.

Is Tuborg still brewed?
