Guinness Open Gate Brewery London

Located in Covent Garden, the Guinness Open Gate Brewery is a cracking place to visit for anyone after an insight into the brewing process. You'll get to go on a 90-minute tour of their working brewery, learning about the history and modern-day innovations behind the drinks brand.

Enjoy plenty of tastings along the way, led by their Master Brewer, and you can even try your hand at pouring your own pint. Afterwards, be sure to stick around for all the tasty food and drink on-site.
