This place really doesn't like kids and it's pretty obvious. There is a front section for kids only and a huge sign that reads no kids beyond this point. Yet there were dogs allowed beyond the kid section. Not to mention, as someone already did, they put the kids next to the darts and the wall for chalk writing positioned where the garbage can is. Been to many breweries that don't isolate the families so we will be sticking to those. read more

Wow, what a hidden gem. If you have a chance to visit while you are in Hunt Valley area.... You are in for a treat. Food is great.... Exceptional variety of beers.... and welcoming staff. 5 star find!!!! read more

We love B.C. Brewery! The beer is fantastic and the staff are all friendly and welcoming. There is such a wide selection of beer here, so there is truly something for everyone! And besides beer, the food is great too (get the wings, you won't regret it)! They also have great entertainment: lots of games, trivia, and live music. One of our favorite places to spend an afternoon! read more

Great place with a cool concept for choosing your own beer. You can pay in advance or pay for what you get with a card that they give you. The typical brewery atmosphere with cornhole and board games and such. There is their own food truck outside which I am pretty sure we went with some buffalo something that was good as wells. Beer wise I had the Clubhouse Kolsch, East Coast Steamin, and SlowPoke Rodriguez. I would recommend them all. I would recommend getting your beer from a bartender. They wipe your card for the cost of the beer and not for the amount of fluid that is put in like the self service taps. Maybe save you and bit. read more

This place will not survive much longer with the poor Saturday night turnout we experienced. Not even 25% full, no live music the atmosphere was sad. Our large group most from out of state were moved out before the 10 pm closing by generous sprays of cleaning fluid. I predict it will be out of business by the end of 2022 read more

This place is certainly unique, but very awesome! You get a card and can try as many different beers as you want, paying per ounce of beer you pour. All the food looks delicious, but my wife and I went with the Queso fries which were delicious! We want to come back again and try more of the menu. Will definitely return! read more

B.C. Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Hunt Valley, Maryland

See all

The beer is excellent and the food was fun and tasty on our first visit. We were eager to share the experience with our friends. On our second visit we were meeting a larger group and arrived early to secure a table however tuned into a bad experience. Upon first entering the restaurant a waiter with a beard was an absolute a-hole to us and then decided to accuse us of already having a table there and drinking canned beer which was not allowed. We tried to explain we just arrived but he then decided to boot us out. He was an absolute nut job. We tried to make peace with the owner who attempted to figure out what was happening too but the waiter left us shook up and we called our friends to meet elsewhere. Actually feel bad I had to write this because we actually liked the place on our first visit. We had a large group meeting there and we moved the party to Pappy's. The last time we were here a few weeks ago it was a much better vibe. Not sure I will be back. Beer and food was awesome last time and I was going to try to share the experience with my gang. I am sure your experience might be better if they get rid of the bad help! read more

Took a long time to get our food but loved the relaxed atmosphere and beer selection, as well as section for kids as we can take our 2 and 5 year old without feeling guilty if they are not well behaved. read more

This is honestly just a good place to go. We went with our friends on a Sunday evening and it was still amazing. The selection of beers is always on point, with a HUGE range for all tastes. You can decide to pay at the beginning and set a limit for cards that you use to pay for the beer by the ounce, or you can pay at the end. We had the nachos which were AMAZING and had a huge portion! The tacos are delicious and the fries as well! The only gripe I had was that they were out of the Mac and cheese balls I was super excited to try- but that just speaks to the popularity. A game was on when we were there but there is enough seating for it not to be an issue at all. Such a good place. Give it a try! read more

The place has great potential and tasty beers, but not so sure allowing happy dogs behind the bar that like to jump up (even when leashed) and check things out is the best of ideas. I was going to try one of the pizzas but never got texted (no waitstaff, natch) when it was ready so that taste test will have to wait for another time. read more

This brewery is so cool. The tacos are BOMB 10/10 would recommend! Can't wait for football season here. My one little suggestion...the dartboard is running out of working darts. That's all! Oh wait...there is no string attached for the tiki toss game. But honestly that's it. Love this place! Best tacos! Can't wait for football season goooooo ravens! read more

Gave this place a third shot to see if it was better now, but not much has changed. It is a great addition to the neighborhood however the beer is just not the the mark. For people who like experimentation, this might be the place. I like some of that too, but I think way too much experimenting going on. It is a great place for people with small kids and pets which is evident from most of the clientele you will see. The food like many other breweries is sub par. $4 for a simple veggie taco and 8 bucks or so for three pretzel sticks is a bit much. Not too many healthy vegetarian options and limited food options. Don't think this is going to be our first option to visit anymore. read more

We LOVED BC brewery. The place is a lot of fun and has things available for children (games, toys, playhouse). The food is pretty good but the main reason to go is the beer. Make sure to try a little bit of a lot of different types. It's a lot of fun :) read more

Great venue, very organized system to try different beers. Food is delicious especially the pizza!

Very interesting concept (self-serve). It ran pretty smoothly as well- the only tip I'd say is to make sure all taps on your machine are closed before inserting your card... I wasted a few ounces when a tap was left open by another user. Overall, the beer wasn't bad either. Not the best or worst beer I've ever had-- I'd come back! read more

Love the atmosphere, pay by ounce concept, and ample game selection (including cornhole and darts)! A great addition to the Baltimore brewery scene in a great space with awesome beers and food. A must visit for brewery fans and burbinites! read more

B.C. Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Hunt Valley, Maryland

Love this place. Open and casual. Beer brewed on site. Beer wall allows for lots of sampling and delivery when you want it. Food truck on premises and smokes meats including whole pigs, turkey and chicken. Wings too. Tacos amazing with flavorful sauces which compliment the meat. Pineapple verde really rocks it. Fries hot and fresh (real cut potatoes). Smoked Gouda cheese sauce perfect on fries. Can get meat piled on fries also. Wing sauces tasty. Pineapple BBQ wings my favorite but also buffalo hits the spot. Has space inside for party reservations. read more

B.C. Brewery - Buffalo Blue chicken taco. - Breweries Near Me - Hunt Valley, Maryland

We visited for the 2nd time last night as our daughter's band was performing. BC offers live entertainment, open mic nights, cornhole, darts, and so much more. If you are into beer, this is the place; BC has many beer choices! For the 1st time visitor the process of ordering was confusing. This is a pour your own beer establishment.. you pay based on how much you pour. To be able to do that,, you go to a register, provide them with your credit card which they record into their system. They give you a card.. you go to the beer wall,, select a glass and pour the beer you want to drink.. Done. BC does offer food. To order you use your phone to scan the QR code, create a to using your credit card, and place your order. They text you when your food is ready and you go to the window to pick it up. When ready to leave, you pay your tab on line. As for the food: the pretzel last night was tasty, but the cheese queso was thick and grainy. I ordered the chips and green salsa verde sauce. The chips were great. But the Verde sauce was tasteless. Looking around BC last night, many people were not finishing their food, and I heard several people say, "I come for the beer, not the food" I'm hoping the food will get better. Overall, BC has a fun friendly vibe! read more

I really love the concept of this pour your own style brewery! Not only did they have over 20 different beers/ciders, but you could sample as many as you wanted on your own and there was no waiting in line! The food looked tasty, though I did not have a chance to try it. I was told they are constantly changing the beers on rotation, so there would always be new things to try. It is in a spacious open room with ample seating at tables and a log bar. There is also a little kids play area as well as an area that has bag games. Only downside was that it's in a very industrial out of the way area with no outside seating. read more

First time visiting and it was great! I did feel obligated to write a review due to the food though. First the place is huge and great to drink and hang out and plenty of games for kids and adults to play. The beer is great and fun atmosphere. Definitely will be back but the food...that's a different story. I had low expectations from the yelp reviews and I am confirming the food leaves a lot to be desired. Fortunately we packed food for the kids cause all to eat on the menu for them was plain fries. I am all about small menus for a place to be able to do everything right but that wasn't the case. We ordered the buffalo chicken fries by accident (husband didn't specify and asked for chicken fries and they didn't ask which one). We meant the ones with avocado etc but got the buffalo ones. They just tasted only like hot sauce (don't get me wrong I love Hot sauce) but it over powered them and the chicken was in chunks and was not very appealing and underwhelming. Btw it's $10 for the fries that have some chicken and hot sauce and oh are frozen and not hand cut. We ordered tacos as well and they were equally disappointing the pork was mushy and a mealy texture (maybe my standards are too high because my husband is awesome at smoking meat) but they shouldn't have been served and the chorizo one was loaded with salsa I couldn't even tell it was chorizo and the tacos (soft tacos) were hard in parts and just not good. We saw they have chips and salsa but if you are going to charge $5 for a thing of chips and salsa at least make your own! In terms of food they need to step up their game and do better food or figure something else food wise. read more

I went here recently for my husband's work event and it was amazing!! I love everything about this place. I'm actually not much a brewery fan because I don't really like beer but everything I tried at the B.C. Brewery was amazing. I mostly went for their fruity versions and the ciders. The In A Pear Tree was so crisp. I went back for seconds because it was so good. My husband really enjoyed Whatcha Talkin' About Bacillus (and it seemed like everyone else did as well--this one always had a line). I liked that we were able to use the refillable card to try different types of drinks. By using the beer wall you are in charge of how much is poured and you also know what the exact price is. I've never been to a type of place that has this option and I'm a huge fun of it. We also tried the Buffalo Chicken Fries and they tasted delicious. You definitely would need a fork to eat the chicken part, but if you don't mind that I would recommend them. The space was open and perfect for crowds. It seemed like there were a few parties going on at the same time but it didn't seem crowded. They had game options as well--darts, corn hole and a huge version of jenga. They had a kid area and on their website it says they allow dogs. I think that it's great that they try to accommodate for a lot of different types of people--everyone is welcome. read more

B.C. Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Hunt Valley, Maryland

Loved this place, great vibe, good food, beer and live music. Definitely will be going back!

The food is tasty but it was late and cold and no one in t he kitchen was masked, very stressful experience

Beer selection and quality is great. Seems like so many breweries feel the need to make the majority of their beers IPA's, sour, or just some hoppy concoction but their styles seem to run the full spectrum. The purchase/dispensing system is not what most would be used to, but I think it's a great system so that you don't have to wait for a bartender and you can taste any size you want. Only suggestion I have with respect to the dispensing system is that it would help a lot if the tap handles were spring loaded so that when someone before leaves the tap open, it doesn't automatically start wasting beer when you insert your card or squirt beer on you (both have happened to me). The space is large and can accommodate plenty of people including kids (there are games and a large chalk board). I'm thrilled to have this as an addition to the area. If the food was better, I'd give it a full 5 stars. I tried everything on the menu this week except the wings and just wasn't impressed especially with the burrito which had way too much rice and way too little of everything else. I don't mean "I'm being a critical foodie" too much, I mean it was easily 50% more rice than I have ever gotten on a burrito anywhere. They're just getting started, so hopefully the food will improve a bit, but regardless this place is well worth the visit if you like good beer. read more

I enjoy the whole prepaid/tab card idea with the beer on self tap. The tacos and wings are great and delicious! The beer is always good and great selections. Will be returning again. In addition, the customer service was awesome. read more

Tacos were good. And then the ah damn moment hit. Burgers looked great and fell unbelievably flat. Salt and pepper of any kind would have helped a lot. Just grey ground beef burgers that looked smashed I guess. Smoked wings fell way off. Great size but... Sauce was good but meh with the reheated texture. Brisket for brisket only on fridays. And the smoker wasn't even running!? Brisquet fries tasted like taco nachos from the seasoning on the brisket. Tastes like reheated food. Oh well... Hope the beer is good! Good luck folks! read more

Fun atmosphere with great beer/food. However, extremely disappointed during this visit. We came for a relaxed dinner and drinks on a Friday night and they closed their kitchen over an HOUR before their fairly early close time. I will be thinking twice before returning next time. read more

Concept is cool. Beer is ok. I would change the name to something less boring and give the place some atmosphere. HV is known for horses. Possibly have a horse racing themed name and brewery. read more

Full disclosure: I am acquainted with the chef. Had lunch there today. Huge space but still felt friendly and familiar. Food was fantastic! Tacos that had enough twists to wow the palate but not so foofy to escape juat good tacos. Tried all 3 varieties and was partial to the smoked turkey. My wife loved the pickled onions. Go try this place! You won't be disappointed! read more

Excellent guacamole and chips!! I'm not a huge beer drinker, but found one I liked on the beer wall. Staff is very friendly.

I wanted boneless wings and they had the option of 6 bone-in or 4 boneless with fries. I didn't want fries, just 6-8 boneless wings and they said they couldn't do that... which basically means "they have the product to make it; but aren't going out of their way to be accommodating" so doubt I'll be back. Atmosphere was neat and the way the beer set up was pretty different. Just need to work on customer service. read more

Awesome concept being able to serve yourself from the taps and pay by loading credit onto a card. The food is also great, especially the tacos. The variety of beer options is sure to please anyone's tastes. read more

This place is very cool, great concept and good bar food. Gets 3 stars instead of 5 only because the layout is not well thought out with the dart area placed between 2 kids areas. Very challenging to keep our toddler out of the dart area because he was walking between the 2 jenga areas. Dangerous. Why not move the darts to the back and the corn hole where the darts are now? it's great to have a place like this that is child friendly for us on winter days but the dartboard placement is dangerous. read more

I have to say that BCB has definitely gone downhill over the past few months. The food, which used to be excellent, is so salty that it is barely edible. The beers are meh (the one I found that I liked they did not have tonight) but I've noticed a definite decrease in customer service. We used to sit at the bar and essentially get full service. The past two times we practically had to beg someone behind the bar to help us. While I understand the self-serve concept, we always were served at the bar just as in any other establishment. It seemed as though the 3 employees behind the bar were more interested in talking amongst themselves and checking out their cell phones than actually doing any work. The only thing I saw them do that was work-related was putting the dirty glasses into the auto glass cleaner. Unfortunately, we won't be back. read more

Used to be okay but is going downhill. First off, when you do the math, their beers are pretty pricey. A 16 ounce pour (regular US pint) of most of their beer is around $8-9 before tax and tip which takes it to $10-11 after tax and tip. Because they are close by and the beer is decent, we have opted to go regardless of the higher beer prices. Unfortunately though, the last two times we've been, we've had the Beyond Tacos which were comically small and there's an upcharge for them. Again, this used to be fine because they would give you normal size tacos but the last two times, they were excluded from Taco Tuesday specials, and cost $1 more per taco so three tiny (and I mean less than half full on a corn tortilla) tacos were $13. I can understand the cases where prices are going up because of supply chain issues but from what I've heard, Beyond Meat has gone down so what's the explanation for higher price and way less food?? Long story short, 6 tiny tacos and 2 beers each for for 2 of us at $72 just isn't worth it anymore. There are too many other places in Northern Baltimore County with good beer, better atmosphere, and accessible food (Farmacy is a great option). read more

Food quality is DEFINITELY starting to fall off. We had great experiences before, however just recently got the BBQ pork tacos and nearly broke a tooth..no joke on the tough meat in the taco. Beer is ok. They have two or three staples like Honey Wheat and Blonds, but get out there on the fringes with sours and double IPAs that are just Meh. I would refocus on food quality STAT. Cornhole and dog friendly venue will not save the place if u can't eat decent food. Try sticking to Lagers, Pilsners and moderate IPAs that got you there BCB.... read more

So I am reviewing this as someone who has Celiacs and has to eat gluten-free. This is one of the only local breweries that brews gluten-free beer. Their offerings as good as any I've had from the larger gluten-free breweries like Glutenberg and Omission. On top of that it's a cute location with really good gluten-free food. Totally worth the trip. read more

Great selection of beers, but may be a little heavy on the IPA choices. Food is good with more stuff being added almost daily.

This place is cool to visit, but the beers are so so, I tried the stouts and it was flat after couple minutes sitting on the table.

Great beer. Great food. Great atmosphere. The only self-serve beer taps around. Stop by for a half glass of a beer and some loaded fries or kick back, make your own flight and have a full meal. read more
