We went to this awesome down-to-earth brewery on a whim during the week. This end of Market Street…read morein Frederick feels like a neighborhood in a European city in some ways. We were greeted immediately when we walked in and you could tell many of the folks there were regulars - like a modern Cheers vibe. My personal favorite among the beers was the En Fleur and we really liked the Penny Pincher and the Irish Stout they had. I even tried my first breakfast stout there (though I probably will never have beer for breakfast in my wiser years)! It is in the same space as a burger spot, which I think is really smart. We will definitely be back!

OMG; OMB is so freaking good!…read more Frederick has a wealth of local brewers, and Olde Mother is consistently at the top of the heap. The taproom at OMB has a warm, Cheers-like vibe (they don't know my name, but I'm working on it!). Their taps feature a rotating selection of light, sour/fruity, hoppy, dark/malty, and non-alcoholic beers. I'm a fan of their various Kolsches, and their stouts are "interesting" (I enjoyed their Morning Ritual Golden Breakfast Stout this week: looks like a lager, with a maple syrup taste that was really refreshing. Guinness it wasn't!). They also offer cocktails and wines for those poor people that can't appreciate a well-crafted, well-poured brews (pagans!). Pours are generous, prices are reasonable, value is great. They even have a selection of board games so you can while away a cold (or hot) evening by yourself or with friends. But wait: there's more... OMB shares space with Backslash Burgers (which was recently renamed from "50/50 Burgers" for what sounds like trademark reasons. Yelp hasn't caught the name change yet. You'll have to look them up under the old name for my (5 star, baby!) review. TLDR: amazing 50% beef/50% bacon smashburgers cooked to order with your choice of toppings, or you can choose from several very interesting regular offers. (If you like heat, try the "I Can't Feel My Face" burger. I dare you...). Sandwiches can be ordered as single or double patties, and can be made with chicken. Large groups can be accommodated, and there are regular events (bands, Night Markets, even a "Paint Your Pet" night are on this month's schedule) to help bring in thirsty and hungry hordes. Trivia Night is every Thursday, and it can get raucous. OMB shares a parking lot across the street with Gravel & Grind bike and coffee shop. It's not easily handicap accessible, with a few steps separating OMB and BB, and since both are self-service that could be a problem, but it's a great place to make helpful friends, no? The hours are also a little quirky for a pub (Monday-Saturday 11AM-10PM, Sunday 11AM-7PM). So, if you find your way to Frederick (and you should!), stop in for a great brew and burger.

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.

We happened to find our selves in Frederick two months ago, staying and taking the MARC from nearby so chose to finally check it out in person. It definitely was very empty compared to RAC, but we still loved the beer, our server, and the historic warehouse ambiance with pretty and groovy artwork

The bartenders were very friendly. My bf ordered a sour for himself and their pumpkin porter for me. The bartender let him taste another sour they had on tap that he enjoyed and ordered for his second round. We also ordered pretzel dogs which were tasty and went well with our beers. Overall, we enjoyed the beers and the ambience and definitely want to try out their pizza next time we visit!

Hard to place a review for Milkhouse because I didn't try any if their brews. We went for a crab…read morefest that they had. 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!

They have various areas and games you can play. Since it was Monday night it was limited to one area that was still spacious and popular. We loved all the beer and soda cocktail we tried as well as the hot dog pastry and pickled pizza we ate. Our favorite of the beers was the apple butter one we took home a four pack of. It is a ways out from us in Silver Spring. However would love to go back and for them to either put a taproom closer to us and/or ideally but unrealistically run regular MARC service out here as my wife and I do not drive.

We had tired kids and somehow missed the sign that suggested we needed to check in with the front desk. With that said, our server was so incredibly friendly. We ended up ordering initially off the app. Our table didn't have a QR code, but I ended up taking a menu from a nearby table and ordered a few dishes. The food I got was all tasty, including the meatballs, chicken tikka masala pizza, cheeseburger, and macaroni and cheese. The beer is what brings people here, but the wine wasn't terrible. My partner is not a beer person but did enjoy the red wine that I ordered for him. As far as entertaining the kids, they offered a lot of good inside game options including corn hole, connect four, a gigantic jenga (that the kids totally loved), and a sliding puck game. They also have bocce ball leagues during the week. This is a really fun spot. The kids loved it, and it was a nice way to break up our trip back to DC. It isn't in the cute, historic part of Frederick, but it's an easy destination with plenty of parking!

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!
