Guinness to open first brewery in America in more than six decades

BALTIMORE, Maryland -- It's a first in America in more than six decades.

Guinness will open a new brewery later this summer. It will be located in the Baltimore area.

It will be the first Guinness Brewery in America since 1954, and the first-ever "purpose-built" Guinness brewery in America.

The new brewery will not only feature the famed dark-hued stout that Guinness is known for, but will also offer India Pale Ale and experimental brews, such as Guava Wit and Cherry Stout.
