Reply to comment by Dogsinabathtub in Another stellar ad from VisitBaltimore. Just a reminder that the CEO makes $400K a year. by Cepia

I would definitely recommend learning more about the Guinness Brewery and their female head brewer! I just went this past weekend and there were a ton of different delicious beers on tap. Worth a visit for sure.

Hollie hasn't worked there in over a year, last I heard she's distilling on the west coast now.

I’ve been there. I like it a lot. I know they do stouts but their flagship is the Baltimore blonde.

It’s just funny to me that someone clearly just google imaged “Guinness” and picked the first thing they saw for this graphic.

Yes, because it’s a Guinness factory, brewery, etc. regardless of what they make, people will know a pint of Guinness across the world when you see it. Any blonde looks the same.

They have their own unique branding for the Baltimore blonde

And nobody knows what it is either way. That’s the point. This is bad marketing regardless, but using the OG iconic pint of Guinness to market the Guinness brewery is correct. Marketing is about reaching people with things they connect with.
