Best Brewpubs in the Baltimore-Metropolitan Area

Last night, at dinner, Rachel harped upon a great idea: make a list of Maryland brewpubs we have visited, in order of those we really enjoyed to those that left a little to be desired. At the bottom, we included a link to a Google Map of the brewpubs.

A formality: brewpub - must brew and serve their own beer, along with casual fare.

<drum roll, please> Here is our list! At the same time, did we leave some one off? What are your preferences? We'd really like to see them, so leave a comment!
  1. Dogfish Head Alehouse, Gaithersburg
  2. The Brewer's Art, Baltimore
  3. DuClaw Brewing Company, Arundel Mills
  4. Red Brick Station, White Marsh (T-4)
  5. Ellicott Mills Brewing Company, Ellicott City (T-4)
  6. Capitol City Brewing Company
  7. Barley & Hops, Frederick
  8. Johanssons, Westminster
  9. Brewer's Alley, Frederick
A few places that we have to revisit or go to for the first time:
  • The Wharf Rat
  • Growlers
  • Franklin's
  • Ram's Head Tavern
  • Rocky Run
  • Ryleigh's (if they are still open...)

Technically, DFH isn't a brew pub, but it's probably my favorite in the area.

There's Gordon Biersch newly opened in Rockville. Also there's Rock Bottom in Bethesda, though that's getting inside the Beltway and might thus count as "DC" and not Baltimore; good beer, though.

Ryleigh's on Cross Street isn't brewing anymore as far as I know.
