A buzzing new attraction is in the
works.
In a move to excite beer fans in London - since one in every ten pints sold here is a Guinness - Diageo have designed an incredible addition to the Covent Garden scene. Say hi to Guinness at Old Brewer’s Yard.
Guinness At Old Brewer's Yard Opening
What Will The New Guinness Brewery Be Like?
Just a stone’s throw from Neal Street, the site wasn't picked by accident, and the clue to why is in the name. Beer was made in the area way back in 1722 and Old Brewer's Yard is considered a significantly important part of London’s heritage. But enough of the history lesson, you want to know about the future, right? Here's what to expect from the 50,000 square foot space:
- An open-fire kitchen
- A central covered courtyard where events will be hosted
- Three different outlets including a food truck, brasserie and grill and a seafood restaurant on the 360-degree glass rooftop
…We know, it sounds immense. And it’s set to put Diageo back a hefty £73 million.
If you’re like us and have visited the iconic Guinness Storehouse in Dublin, you’ll know the brand's tours and tastings are next level. The microbrewery here will be producing limited edition beers, alongside the classic stout on draught. And if that’s not enough? You can take the experience home with themed gifts like rare collaborations and items unique to Old Brewer’s Yard. Sláinte.
When Will Guinness At Old Brewer's Yard Open?
The Guinness brewery, which was originally meant to open its doors in 2023, has pushed back its opening several times over the last couple of years. Diageo have finally released an update, stating that the Covent Garden brewery will be opening its doors in the run up to Christmas 2025. We're going to have to see it, to believe it.
The building will be open from 9.30am to 11.30pm throughout the week, with opportunities for paid brewery tours during the evening.
