Eat some freshly roasted chestnuts!

Take home some chestnut saplings!

Listen to talks and lectures on the American chestnut!

And enjoy some pints of our fresh release of 2026 Restoration Chestnut Lager. This was one of our most popular beers last year so we brewed extra this year!

We’ll have a food truck all day and live music as well.

Come have a good time and some great beers at Milkhouse Brewery at Stillpoint Farm.

See y’all there!

The title is it.

Came here to see if there was any context on this update from Black Flag and didn’t find anything so I thought it was worth posting: https://www.instagram.com/p/DeQVQ69DPNX/?img_index=3&xtok=Mnl2dzdscjR5ZXBq

Sounds like something might work out. Hope it does, would be a shame to lose their presence in the MD beer scene. No idea which brand they were partnering with.

It's beer festival season in Maryland and around the world. Rumors suggest beer festivals are declining, but we don't want to believe it. What do you think about beer festivals? Care to share your thoughts? https://marylandbeer.net/journal/maryland-beer-opinions-sept-2026

Good morning all,

Just a question on availability of the EVO assorted 12 pack that has the #3, #6, and Pinehopple.

My wife loves this assortment, and prefers to drink from bottles, but we've been unable to find them in our local liquor stores at all this summer (Sussex County, DE). Any ideas why they seem to be unavailable? We have been able to find 6-pack bottles of #3, or Pinehopple in cans (6- or 12-packs), but otherwise no luck.

TIA for any info!

First I’ve seen of this. Lots of good Maryland beer and food!

Howdy everyone! Oktoberfest season is here again, and we’re fortunate to live in an area with so many amazing breweries and communities that embrace their German roots.

Here’s the Oktoberfest & other Fall Festivals List:

And the Google Maps version:

I’m still waiting to hear back from a few breweries and groups to confirm if/when they’ll be hosting their events this year. They are listed in the TBD section at the bottom (in red).

I’ve also added a few local-ish festivals to the list, and I included a Google Maps version for anyone wanting to plan a road trip!

If you notice anything missing or need an update on the list, feel free to comment or send me a DM, and I’ll get it updated. Prost!

Anyone planning to attend HopFest at Max's Taphouse in Baltimore on August 14-16? I've not attended HopFest before, but if it's anything like their Belgian Beer Fest, it was excellent.

They were doing an anniversary event at the brewery. These little art prints were random giveaways. Really wanted this, but you had to buy a specific $20 pack of beer for a chance at one random print.

If anyone out there has this and would be willing to part with it, let me know!

We’ve got a heck of a month planned, so I figured I’d hop on Reddit and post our event banner for the month of August (and our great selection of beer).

Hope to see y’all out on the Maryland’s first farm brewery!

In Part 2 of What the Barrel Remembers, I contacted Paul Davidson, co-founder and head brewer at Elder Pine Brewing and Blending in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
