Where to brew beer onsite?

It appears that Shenandoah Brewing is closed, and I had wanted to get a gc for brewing for DH for Christmas.  Any ideas of other places in the area where you can go there to brew your own beer (DC or Balt area)?

Re: Where to brew beer onsite?

  • yeah, shenandoah closing ruined last year's b-day gift for DH! 

    if she doesn't chime in later, page dmuppet because she & her husband are fellow beer lovers and i know she has been to a place in frederick that i've forgotten the name of.

    Flying Barrel.  My DH gets his homebrew supplies there.  This makes me think I should offer up GC for people to come to our house and brew with DH's equipment!

  • I had no idea it was closed..we used to go there all the time before DS.....
  • Probably a dumb question, but is Flying Barrel fun to go to? I had heard that people enjoyed the time brewing at Shenandoah, which was a lot of the draw. 
  • Yup, we've done Shenandoah twice and Flying Barrel once. We'll do it again, but IMO Flying Barrel is not quite as fun. There were no TVs, no space for more than 2 or 3 people to work on a batch together, no food service. They do have a free-flowing tap of whatever's in their kegerator, which was an unexpected perk. So between no bar tab and no food AND lower brewing prices, overall it's quite a bit cheaper.

    Before you take my word for it, though, atleast call Flying Barrel and see if anything's changed since they've moved to their new location - maybe it accomodates more people and/or allows bigger groups to brew.

    There will be more this year!  He's been picking some out already.  He did a lot of very yummy ones this year.  We can all hang in the basement like last year and drink with the boys!  ;-)

    I missed out on the home brew last year since I was nursing Baby Handy, looking forward to having some this year!

    We're actually going to be starting some home brewing of our own I think. Our BIL who recently started is getting us a kit for Christmas. I'm excited and a little nervous, how it is going to work with a toddler!
