Join INDC on Saturday, May 17th for a guided tour and Guinness tasting at The Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Halethorpe, Maryland just outside of Baltimore. The brewery is the first Guinness presence on US soil since 1954 and is the first ever purpose-built Guinness brewery in American history. It combines over 260 years of the Guinness Irish brewing tradition with a little American experimentation as the brewery is known for its flagship beer, the Guinness Baltimore Blonde. INDC has organized a private tour for a number of our members, at 3pm. The tour costs $20.00 and will last approximately 45 minutes. The tour guide will show us around the consumer experience, give plenty of background about the Guinness heritage and provide an overview of the Baltimore Brewery. Following the tour there will be a tasting of a flight of four Guinness beers which includes the original 1759 Guinness and the Guinness Baltimore Blonde with one of the brewery’s beer experts! You must be 21 or older to participate in the tasting and must have a government issued photo ID. (No exceptions)

Dubliner Restaurant & Pub
4 F St NW, Washington, Dc, 20001
America's premier Irish pub. The Dubliner was established in 1974 in the best of a long barkeeping tradition. My father, an Irish immigrant, opened Coleman's Saloon in 1933 atop Tipperary Hill in Syracuse, New York. Our pride in our Celtic heritage even extended to the neighborhood traffic light - the only light of its kind to have the green light on top of the red. My brother Peter continues the tradition at the same location to this date
Irish Channel Restaurant & Pub
500 H St NW, Washington, Dc, 20001
The Irish Channel would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves. We are a family-owned business run by Tom Stack, who hails from County Cork, Ireland. Tom runs a friendly, fun staff and would love to welcome all of our guests, young and old. Our food is our number one priority as he is a certified chef. We serve only fresh produce, fish and meat in our restaurant and buy locally grown whenever possible. Our pub emanates a wonderful character that will make you feel just like you're in Dublin. So the next time you are in the area give us a try. We promise you won't be disappointed. We offer live entertainment four nights a week (Wednesday through Saturday) where we feature local, renowned Irish singers and musicians.
Kirwan’s on the Wharf
749 Wharf St SW, Washington, Dc, 20024
Our intention in opening Kirwan’s was to celebrate our homeland by making your experience as authentically Irish as possible. To do this, we contracted eight carpenters from Ireland who flew over with huge containers bearing all of our interior furnishings and materials. Every bar, tile, table, chair, panel and photograph you see is from Ireland. About those photographs on our walls - each one was selected and brought over by owner Mark Kirwan’s dad from The Photography Institute in Ireland. The historical subjects of horses and GAA sportsmen are particular interests of Mark’s. He takes pride in his heritage and enthusiastically shares it with everyone who walks through the doors of Kirwan’s.
