Goetze’s Candy Company, Inc., a manufacturer of caramel products produced in Baltimore, MD for nearly 130 years, announces a partnership with the Guinness Open Gate Brewery. The confectioners of Goetze’s and the brewers of Guinness came together to create a 4.5 percent ABV cream ale brewed with the same vanilla in the iconic Goetze’s signature recipe, resulting in a toasty, slightly sweet and delicious beer. The Caramel Creams® ale will be released at the Beer From Here Festival hosted by Guinness Open Gate Brewery and the Brewers Association of Maryland (BAM) on Saturday, August 3. The beer will be sold at the brewery while supplies last.

“We are beyond excited to partner with Guinness Open Gate Brewery on the Caramel Creams® Ale. We are long-time fans of the brand and their unique Guinness Stout, brewed for over 265 years, partnering with our almost 130 year old Baltimore Caramel Creams® treats.  We have created a creamy ale reminiscent of our beloved Caramel Creams® combining the history of two iconic brands.” said Mitchell Goetze, CEO of Goetze’s Candy Co., Inc. “We look forward to sharing this special recipe with Caramel Creams® lovers, Guinness lovers and Baltimoreans alike, and invite all to sláinte to this iconic hometown collaboration.”

About Guinness Open Gate:

Although Arthur Guinness started brewing beer in Dublin, Ireland in 1759, brewing in other countries has long been a part of our story. We opened our first brewery outside of Ireland in London way back in 1936, and currently brew in nearly 50 countries around the world. While Ireland will always be our home, the beer industry here in the States is arguably the most dynamic and exciting in the world right now, and, put simply, we love being a part of it. This is our opportunity to show that we are more than just a single beer – we’re a brewery, capable of producing some of the most unique, innovative, and high-quality beer in the world. Our story is more than 260 years long – welcome to the newest chapter.

he Guinness Open Gate Brewery (or OGB for short) is the innovative and experimental arm of one of the world’s most beloved breweries. The original location was opened to the public in 2015, on the Dublin site that had been home to Guinness’s Product Research Unit, which was founded in 1904. In 2018, the first U.S. location was launched in Baltimore, MD, becoming the first stateside Guinness brewery in more than 60 years. The OGB focuses on creating new and innovative beers, serving unique and global cuisine alongside those beers, and highlighting the spirit of community, inclusivity, and hospitality that are the hallmarks of the Guinness brand.
