Guinness Open Gate Brewery on Tap for Chicago’s West Loop

The Guinness Open Gate Brewery (OGB) Chicago will open its doors to the public this coming summer, bringing locally inspired brews and community collaborations to Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood. Located at 901 W. Kinzie St., it will be Guinness’ second brewing facility and taproom in the U.S., joining one in Baltimore. 

“Chicago and Guinness have been part of each other’s stories for more than a century, and OGB Chicago has been a dream throughout – we are thrilled to open our doors to the West Loop community this summer,” said Ryan Wagner, national ambassador of Guinness. 

The Open Gate Brewery Chicago is committed to working with diverse business owners, leading in energy and environmental design, and empowering the next generation of hospitality professionals. The brewery will feature solar panel arrays and will pursue LEED Platinum certification for the site.
