Anyone visiting Baltimore might not know which specific "obscure" beers are only available at the brewery, but I would think that many people visiting the brewery would know that more than just the Blonde is brewed and available there, just like any other brewery you would visit in the country lol. How does the fact that they brew lesser known "obscure" beers negate the fact that they brew much more than just the Blonde in Baltimore, including a variety of stouts (like the one in the image)?

People are so eager to hate on a local place just because it doesn't meet their criteria of being worthy of promotion. The facts just fly out the window.

Oh I forgot that Guinness open gate made this themselves? Or maybe u can’t read very well hmmm which is it
The criticism is of the ad company, not the brewery
Brendan_f18 t1_iy9qkib wrote
I'm just saying that, of all the criticisms you could make, this one is pretty weak. They brew stouts, even sometimes nitro stouts at the Baltimore location, and the original comment mentioned "That’s not even the beer they make at that brewery. They make the Guinness blonde there". The ad is terrible, but this criticism is a reach. No need to call the entirety of their taplist aside from the blond and the imports "obscure".

They specifically DON’T brew that beer there… pick any of the ones that they do instead

A nitro stout? There's a Baltimore nitro stout on tap there right now lmao
EfficiencySuch6361 t1_iy93bbj wrote
The stout that u are claiming that it is, isn’t nitro. Now claiming it might be a different stout… yeah ok sure. If I put a pale yellow glass of beer with BUDWEISER on the glass, are ppl going to think it’s Budweiser or one of their far less popular beers? The Guinness open gate brewery is great to visit but ur argument is idiotic
christwin t1_iy93yc2 wrote
The "Nitro Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout" isn't a nitro? You should let them know so they can correct their taplists ASAP! I would highly recommend it, though. Seemed like a nitro to me!
Also, if they poured me that beer and put it in a Guinness glass, it would still be a Guinness because it's a Guinness beer brewed at the Baltimore Guinness Brewery. What an absolutely bizarre hill to die on.
EfficiencySuch6361 t1_iy9n7oc wrote
I already pointed out that u switched to a different beer when proved wrong.
Either way, nobody is going to look at a glass of dark nitro beer that says Guinness on the side that looks exactly like Guinness draught and think “oh that must not be their flagship nitro stout that’s ubiquitous worldwide”. They don’t even have nitro stouts on all the time at Open Gate so why not pick something they do more often like the wit or maybe the blonde that they specifically built that entire brewery for
It’s clearly a lazy ad by a lazy company who put almost no thought into it, but here u are dying on some nonsensical hill defending their laziness. U aren’t even defending Open Gate u are defending the losers at visit Baltimore who suck at their jobs lol. Such an idiot

A different beer? I didn't mention another beer lol. When I said "Baltimore nitro stout" I was referring to one that was produced in Baltimore, not Dublin.
EfficiencySuch6361 t1_iy9ovmu wrote
If u were less dumb u would see that my comment that u originally responded to was about “over the moon” milk stout and then u jumped in talking about a different beer
christwin t1_iy9qomo wrote
haha that wasn't me though! How was I proved wrong when I never said that? You wanted to talk about nitro stouts and I saw that they literally have their own nitro stout on tap RIGHT NOW lmao.
My initial comment wasn't even defending the ad at all. Just defending the fact that the brewery is worth visiting because they put out more than just the Blonde, including stouts (and even nitro stouts!) that the first comment referred to. It's definitely a lazy ad, but they're highlighting a local brewery by displaying a familiar type of beer that the brewery typically puts out. This has already been explained to you by another commenter, so I won't rehash it anymore than that. Your initial agreement with the fact that "That’s not even the beer they make at that brewery. They make the Guinness blonde there" is factually incorrect. Maybe "If u were less dumb" that would have sunk in by now.

Maybe you mixed up two commenters, but I never claimed that the picture WAS the Over the Moon Milk Stout, for the record. Nobody is claiming to know EXACTLY which stout is in the photo except for you.
EfficiencySuch6361 t1_iy9s57a wrote
It’s a nitro stout in the picture. U mentioned a stout that isn’t nitro. Why even mention that at all if not talking about the photo which is what we are talking about? Great point lol
Brendan_f18 t1_iy9tenf wrote
Why not go back and read the thread yourself instead of making me re-explain. I was simply telling him that it's not true that the brewery only makes the blonde.
He said "That’s not even the beer they make at that brewery." when in fact they've made stouts including nitro stouts in the past (Nitro Coffee Stout and Nitro Vanilla Mocha Stout).
EfficiencySuch6361 t1_iya40cs wrote
Open Gate was specifically opened to produce blonde so it’s a stupid point especially since the pic looks exactly like their most famous beer which isn’t made there
That commenter never said that open gate ONLY makes Guinness blonde, u misunderstood them
Brendan_f18 t1_iya4ws3 wrote
Nobody is arguing over why the Open Gate brewery was opened and whether it was specifically for the blond or not, so that's irrelevant. I also never argued that the photo isn't likely the nitro stout brewed in Ireland, so I don't know why you keep repeating that. I commented initially to claim that they brew far more than just the blond, including stouts.
