So relaxing. During the winter, we were there for trivia several times. That was always fun! Now the food and beverage... Their pizza is awesome. Doesn't matter what kind you get, it's delicious. The beer is also wonderful. There is a wide range to choose from, and my boys have liked them all. I've always had good service, and the place is always clean. In addition, it's located right off the Rail Trail in New Freedom. Great place to stop after a walk or a bike ride!

They have something for every palate, and I appreciate that they rotate styles so often. My personal favorites are the Polar Vortex IPA (hoppy, bitter, and seriously bold) and the Coal Car Snickerdoodle Coffee Stout--which is a phenomenal, dark dessert beer that's perfect for the colder months. The taproom is huge and welcoming, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It's truly family and dog-friendly, which makes it an easy choice for a Saturday afternoon. Pro tip: If you're coming from northern MD, hop on the NCR Trail near the brewery. It's a great spot to hit after a bike ride or a long walk. The team here is friendly, the glassware is always clean, and the atmosphere is relaxed.

My friend and I went here for some drinks and a bit to eat. I started with the Moscow Mutt ( Moscow…read moreMule) which was delicious and then switched to the White Dog, which is similar to Blue Moon. Both were great choices. For dinner we split the Hawaiian Pizza which had a great mix of bacon and pineapple and the Chicken Pesto which was just as yummy. We agreed it was a good combination to split. An added bonus was the evening we were there was music trivia. The DJ was personable and the music selection was an eclectic mix that appealed to everyone. I will definitely be back.

Updating my previous review. I came back this time not as part of an event. Their actual sit down…read morefood (not catering food) is actually quite good. I ordered their pizza and you can tell they make it fresh. Their selection of ciders are also very refreshing. Service was also improved this time. Taking off one star because it's still on the pricey side for what you get.

Been here twice now on the recommendation from family. Stopped once before the Tartan Terrors at…read morethe Appell Center and again just cause we enjoyed it so much the first time! I'm not a heavy drinker but I enjoy a social drink now and then. They have an excellent selection of seasonal brews for every taste. (I like more light beers while my husband and father in law prefer the darker ones) Food wise you can't go wrong with their BBQ. I had gotten a fish and chips special in March and I wish they still had it on the menu! Fish was so light and crispy, not greasy like most I've had. This time I had the half chicken which came with a corn bread muffin, baked beans and BBQ sauce. Chicken was so tender and juciy, I had enough for another meal. Husband had the brisket sandwich and just the plan brisket the next time. Said the sandwich was better, not as dry as just the meat. We made the mistake of ordering an appetizer and soup with our BBQ trays and all the food came out within 10 minutes of each course. Waitress apologized that the BBQ platters don't take long to get together so its just something to keep in mind. I remember the first time our appetizer and entrees came out later so it really depends on what you order. Both times we got the large pub pretzel with crab dip. So good! I do recommend reservations as it seems to fill pretty fast. It's a large open restaurant with beautiful decor and outdoor seating that will probably open up with the warmer weather. Just watch the timing and what you order or you might end up with a buffet like we did. Plus side, it was all good left over!

Very smooth and has a fruity finish (I may have drank 3 on this particular visit but uwill not confirm or deny). Good selection of German beers to choose from. The food selection is good, but they seemed to be out of several things on their menu including their staple wurst. Staff were friendly and assisted with recommendations on beer and food. Can't really say what the vibe is here cuz we ate at an odd hour and we were the only ones eating, but there were some people seated at the bar. I would come back for the beer.

Fenced in outdoor space, corn hole, food, drinks, live music, and recommended by a friend. And technically it had all of those things! And yet somehow, those things were generally only okay. First, music was inside and it was incredibly loud. So we go outside which was just.... A mess. Like, we got mustard on our clothes from an unclean table; food and napkin scraps all stuck in the grass everywhere you looked. Then, the service outside is through a window, which in itself is no problem. The issue is that it was single server on a Friday night and the line took a really long time. The food and drinks we did get, we enjoyed. Based on the other factors, I am unsure that I would make it a point to stop here when back in the area.

They don't have food, but do sell snacks (chips, dips, sodas, etc). There was a food truck available outside to get food as well. Extensive beer and seltzer menu. We didn't do the beer and opted for seltzer. Got the spicy mango one. They make these by adding syrups, etc so bartender was super helpful in customizing as we didn't want it sweet at all. They even do half pours as well. Super cheap. We sat out back on the patio with our drinks and food from the food truck. Very nice place. Service was excellent! Great brewery vibes.

There was ample seating inside. It's also doggy friendly (and there was a dog adoption event so even more pups to pet!). Service was good and they had a nice beer selection. I enjoyed the Easy A red ale and their chocolate covered raspberry stout. Music selection was also great while we were there! They had food from a local BBQ spot while we were there; we weren't hungry at the time, but it smelled great! They also have chips and other snacks available. It looks like they have a good roster of events and I'd definitely return!

5 stars for a fantastic new Aldus location…read more My wife and I drive up from DC each year to get pretzel beer from Aldus. When we were driving up this year, I noticed the location changed from by a cemetery to the downtown area. We found some parking nearby and went in to check it out. The new Aldus location is a large beautiful area with a big bar and even a separate restaurant area. We took a seat and the wonderful bartender let us try out several holiday beers before picking our flight. Each beer we tasted was fun and interesting, but the pretzel-based ones were the best. We also ordered a hot pretzel (the venue gets some of its food from the nearby hotel), which was quite large and went great with our beers. Overall, the new Aldus brewing location is a huge upgrade. The nice location, cool staff, and great beer makes this a spot we will continue checking out for years to come.
