GUINNESS OPEN GATE BREWERY AND LAUNCHES TWO NEW BEERS

Open Gate Citra IPA and Open Gate Pilsner now available in Great Britain

The Brewers at the Open Gate Brewery are excited to introduce two new flavour-packed beers from the home of innovation and experimentation at St. James’s Gate, Dublin.

Launching in stores and pubs across Great Britain this March is the Open Gate Citra IPA (5% ABV), a balanced beer packed with Citra, Centennial and Cascade hops for juicy fruit and bitter citrus notes. Also new to the market will be the Open Gate Pilsner (4.5% ABV), dry-hopped with Amarillo and Cascade hops for a zingy, citrus taste profile and a clean, slightly bitter finish.

Lead Brewer, Peter Simpson said: “As brewers, our goal is to introduce people to the more flavoursome possibilities of beer. At the end of the day, trying new beers should be a really fun experience for people so we wanted to create a new range of great tasting beer styles for people to enjoy”.

Jeremy Kantar, Europe Beer Category Director, Diageo said: “Guinness has been sharing beer with people around the world for over 250 years. Our Open Gate Brewery pays that heritage forward by making it easy and enjoyable for people to discover new beers. We’ve spent a lot of effort to ensure that everything we do — from the colours on our labels to our language around flavour — enables people to find a beer that’s right for them and one that they’d enjoy trying.”

The new beers will be available in GB from mid-March2018. Open Gate Citra IPA and Open Gate Pilsner are both available in pubs on draught and in retailers in bottle and can.
