There were two food trucks available outside to choose from: Ekiben and one with grilled foods. Coming from Gaithersburg on a weekday evening, I knew I couldn't hang around for long so I didn't want to drink too much. To my delight, Attaboy has a "taste" option that's about half the quantity of a glass and at half the price. I tried the stout called Mr. Mustache: a little bitter, dark, just what I needed.

Visited this place on a day trip to Frederick from Alexandria VA. Great reviews so I was expecting…read morethe best customer service and beer. Wanted a flight but the beers I wanted for the flight were from cans so could not be included, opted for the Pilsner, it was ok. The inside was very messy, the board games all messy and the merch rack needed some attention. The indoor seated room smells musky and the setas were all messy even though no one was in there because we were all at the patio. The patio on a nice weather day is perfect, and there was live music as well. A pizza truck outside and a good crowd of people. However, it was a day that needed more than one overwhelmed beertender. The lines at times were out the door. Went in for a second beer but the kolsch cans were not opening, the line became longer as the beertender tried her best to get a few open with no success. Ended up ordering the same beer as there was no other one on the menu that I prefer. Besides her needing some help, it seemed she was not supposed to be there past a certain time and that was reflected while she processed the line. Eventually she got a can opener and I was able to try the kolsch that turned out to be better than the Pilsner as I expected. Overall it was an ok experience at this place. If you are an IPA person, this may be your spot.

They only serve beer so you don't have one person behind the bar having to make cocktails and pour beer. They have a decent inside seating area and plenty of outdoor seating.

My favorite beer here is ghost of the ice cream man which is named because this building used to be an ice cream production plant. If you're in town trying Frederick's many beers, you have to try this spot!

Amazing beer.

My family came in town and wanted crabs, so we purchased tickets and a few of them did the all you can eat crab and BBQ. I went for just the bbq, which wasn't bad. Plenty of food, but definitely worth while for those who ate endless crabs. My husband and cousin really liked the IPA there and the view was absolutely stunning. I will definitely plan to go back and get the full experience and try the various brews they have on tap. I have had the Mayta corn beer elsewhere, which eas really good. So Id be excited to have one there. I also like that they offer wine, which is a great option for non beer drinkers. Overall, good experience and worth going back!

Both beers were very good and refreshing in the heat. We also got the crab dip bowl that they make using their own pizza dough.. maaaan it was so freaking good that we ate the whole thing in record timing. We literally scraped the plate clean and licked the spoon before finishing our beers. It was super cheesy and the top/crust had theeeee perfect char. They didn't skimp out on the crab either. I'll definitely be thinking about that dip with fondness for a long time. The people there were very friendly and I just love the name (acronym for Random Acts of Kindness). Plenty of seating on their outside patio, which is dog friendly. Too bad we aren't locals! I'd be a regular here for sure.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but after hosting my husband's 50th birthday celebration at RAK…read moreBrewing in Frederick, I feel compelled to share our experience. We brought a group of approximately 50 guests and spent the entire afternoon and evening there, from 2 p.m. until closing. Given the size of our group, I estimate we spent well over $2,000 on food and drinks. The brewery was relatively quiet when we arrived, and our party filled much of the venue. Unfortunately, we encountered several issues that made what should have been a special celebration feel unwelcome. When we arrived, children were allowed up to a belt divider separating one area of the brewery. Shortly after our group arrived, the divider was removed and we were told that the children--even well-behaved kids around 12 and 13 years old--had to move to a completely different area. This split our group apart despite there being plenty of available space. A couple of hours later, we were told that we could not use our own insulated tumblers to keep our purchased beers cold. This included the birthday guest himself. What made this especially frustrating was that we observed other patrons using tumblers without being asked to stop. The final disappointment came during the birthday celebration. We brought a cake and a sparkler candle. The manager, who I believe was Derrick Erwee, informed us that it was a fire hazard and could not be used. While I understand safety concerns, no alternative was offered, meaning my husband didn't even get the chance to blow out a birthday candle on his 50th birthday. I then asked if our group, including the children, could come together briefly for a photo and to sing Happy Birthday for just a minute or two. The request was denied. This was particularly disappointing given that a storm was happening outside and our group made up a large portion of the customers in the brewery at the time. I spoke directly with the manager to explain how these decisions were affecting our celebration, but he showed little interest in finding a reasonable accommodation or demonstrating basic customer service. I want to be clear that the bartenders were friendly and professional throughout the event. They were not the issue. However, the overall management experience left us feeling unwelcome and disappointed. After investing significant time, money, and effort into planning such an important milestone celebration, I sincerely wish I had chosen another venue. Based on our experience, I would not recommend RAK Brewing for family gatherings, large group events, milestone celebrations, or anyone expecting a customer-focused experience. I am never coming back, nor my 50 guests.

I've always been a fan of Flying Dog because of its outrageously named beers!…read more My visit here recently was awesome! I was able to make it to a tour of the brewery which helped me learn so much about what makes them stand out and what was next for the business. Some cool details from the tour were all of grains are from Ireland! AND they use reverse osmosis to take out all the minerals then add in the same minerals as that is in the water of Ireland. Saturday's are their day off but if you come in Monday -Thursday you have a chance to see their bottling process! The best part is they give you samples of the brews during the tour! You even can try a beer that just started in the fermentation process to see what that is like in comparison. Their prices aren't too bad, $6 for a beer and $8 for a flight! A big incentive to come to the brewery is some of their most unique pours are exclusively located there! Some of the seasonal/brewery only drinks were: the mint chocolate stout and the strawberry shortcake. For this upcoming spring they are brunch themed so they will be having a Mimosa special that I can't wait for!
