Diageo - Guinness

Location Relay, Maryland

Partners Orbit

Design Collective was selected to work in tandem with Diageo, Guinness and their partners to design the new 60,000 SF Open Gate Brewery for Guinness in Relay, Maryland. The facility is centered around marrying Guinness’ heritage with American craft brewing ingenuity. The project’s outdoor plaza details the site’s historic Calvert Distillery and the history of the site’s new tenant, Guinness. The grounds also include areas for concerts and other outdoor events. Inside the facility is a 10 barrel brewery for small batch craft beers, a tap room, a special tasting area, a restaurant, a retail shop and Guinness exhibits. The project also includes infrastructure improvements and new facilities for the production brewery for Guinness Blonde. On the same project campus, Design Collective is also finishing improvements on Diageo North America’s Relay, Maryland offices.
