Which? Didn't say in the article if true from what I see.

Looks like you do this kind of thing a lot, whether as a joke or seriously. Can't honestly tell if trolling or not, but would genuinely like to see a source on why you think it's a slur.

Curious why you think it's a slur? Hard to find much information, but it seems as though the consensus is that it is not a slur. It is the "preferred spelling of the Arabber Preservation Society, created in 1994 for the support of arabbing, “an African-American folk tradition,”"

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.

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).

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.

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".

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.

The point stands, they make more than just the blonde at that brewery location, and many of the beers they brew are stouts. If you want to fault Visit Baltimore for accidentally posting a nitro rather than a standard stout (although both are served at the location) go ahead, but seems nit-picky to me. Maybe they meant to post the Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout, or the Gingerbread Spiced Stout, or the Mint Chocolate Stout.

Of course the Guinness Stout is going to have more ratings, it's sold all over the world and has been around for hundreds of years. I don't see your point. By your metrics, many beers brewed in Baltimore are "obscure" when you compare them to Bud Light.

You can also go to the brewery to have a Guinness stout brewed in Ireland, go on a tour of the Baltimore brewery that has historical information about the brewery, and maybe try a brew from the newer location while you're there. I vastly prefer going to many of the breweries within walking distance of me, but I think Guinness is also a great time.

What?! How can you tell that it's clearly their flagship stout? The milk stout looks identical in the glass. Dogsinabathtub stated that the beer they make at that brewery is the Guinness blonde, and I said that, factually, they make many other beers including stouts at that brewery. As a fan of many of the local Baltimore breweries and craft beer in general, it's commonly known that many of their new stouts that are widely distributed are brewed in their Baltimore County facility. They're not "obscure" in any way.

They most definitely brew stouts at that brewery. Check out the Over the Moon Milk Stout, just to name one. Did you really think they only brew one beer at that entire facility?
