Guinness brewery, 1st in US in decades, to open in Md. in August

By The Associated Press

RELAY, Md. (AP) — The first Guinness brewery in the United States in decades is expected to open later this summer in Maryland.

The Baltimore Sun reports the revived historic building in Relay, Maryland, will open Aug. 3. for tours, taproom tastings and dining in its restaurant.

Ryan Wagner, a brand ambassador for the beer-maker, says the goal is to attract 300,000 visitors in the first year.

The brewery’s marketing manager says the $80 million project will create approximately 200 hospitality jobs.

Guinness says the brewery will be its first on American soil in over 63 years. The company briefly owned a brewery in New York from 1949 to 1954.

Fallon Federal Building in downtown Baltimore where immigrants were being held. Attorney General Anthony Brown, a Democrat, said his office’s Civil Rights Division and Federal Accountability Unit in January launched an investigation into the conditions inside the detainee holding rooms. The probe followed reports in The Banner last year that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were holding undocumented immigrants in what had been described as inhumane conditions.
