ome to more farms than any other county in Maryland,
Frederick holds gems for the brewery and beer lover.
With top name brands and the classic downtown feel
of the good ole’ days, is there a better place to enjoy
and indulge in hand-crafted, locally made beers? No.
Western Maryland has long been a destination for many travelers.
From Deep Creek Lake, to the Appalachian Trail, to the spunky
cities of Hagerstown and Frederick, there is not a boring spot.
Housing ten different members of the Brewers Association of
Maryland, Western Maryland’s recent population boom has
enjoyed the benefits of the farm-to-table tradition with the
delicious stylings of Antietam Brewery, Smoketown Brewing
Station, Olde Mother Brewing Company, Mad Science Company,
Brewer’s Alley, Barley And Hops Grill & Microbrewery, Flying
Dog Brewery, Monocacy Brewing Company, Milkhouse Brewery
at Stillpoint Farm, Frey’s Brewing Company, Cushwa Brewery
and Red Shedman Farm Brewery & Hop Yard. The area is also
looking forward to the opening of Midnight Run Brewery.
