Spent the morning with our (new) good friends Bear Branch Malt in Westminster!

As a farm brewery we want to support Maryland agriculture and that starts with our grain. Nearly all of the grain in our beer will be grown either on our farm or in Maryland and we'll be sourcing a lot of it from Bear Branch. You can be sure that when you support us, you're in turn supporting Maryland farmers. Local beer that's actually local!

Your first chance to snag some merch is this Friday! We'll be at Thurmont's Art & Wine Stroll on Friday from 5pm-8pm. We won't have any beer available but we'll have merch and some local baked goods. Come by and say hi!

A great taproom deserves a great bar. We acquired this local vintage bowling alley lane and turned it into our bar top.

After its time as a bowling lane it became a dance floor and now we're excited to give it new life to serve you pints. We're enjoying our Corn Lager after a hard day's work.

Stainless steel is in! 💪

We took a huge step forward this weekend and moved our brewing system and fermenters into our building. We've still got work to do but its surreal seeing everything in place at long last. Soon the kettle will be fired up and these tanks filled with beer!

Just a little amber ale to quench your thirst 😋

We're sealing our concrete floors this weekend which means next up is moving our brewing equipment inside!

We'll also be attending a local event next month so you can some say hi (more to come). No beers available as we are still waiting on our final license but we'll have merch and some local baked goods!

Any sour beer fans?? This is our Mulberry Sour and its delicious right now 😋

We love using local fruits in our beer and they really shine in a sour. The mulberries we used in this batch came from trees right on our own farm.

Our amazing neighbors lost their page and are trying to rebuild a new one, give them a follow (and stop by for the best ice cream!)

Something hoppy as we get ready for some warm days 😎

We're not ever going to be the place with 12 different IPAs on tap, but we can get down with some hops. We threw this little pale ale together to get ready for spring, light and easy drinking with a nice bouquet of hoppy aromas.

For you beer nerds it includes citra, cascade, amarillo and chinook hops so this trends towards citrus, grapefruit and floral notes.

Thinking of warmer days and cold pints on our back patio right about now 😆

Update on our opening since many of you are asking! As of right now we don't have a firm date in place, but we are confident we'll be open while it's warm in 2026.

Our top priority at the moment is wrapping up interior trade work (plumbing, drywall, and electric) so we can start filling the space and installing our brewing equipment. We've already begun painting and are working securing the last couple of licenses we need.

We greatly appreciate the amazing support and excitement from our community and we're counting down the days until we can welcome you all into our taproom!
