10 Best Breweries in Bel Air

"This is the brewery’s taproom at the Union Collective, a space for a growing group of independent retail and manufacturing businesses to set up shop. The brewery’s Duckpin pale ale and Old Pro gose are among the offerings on tap. Another building tenant, Well Crafted Kitchen, is providing wood-fired pizzas and other grub for brewery visitors."

"Baltimore City's very own craft production brewery and tap room. Home of Duckpin Pale Ale, Balt Alt, Blackwing Lager, Anthem Golden Ale, and many more!"

"Boasting a soothing vaporwave vibe that seems to take lighting cues from Blade Runner and/or Miami Vice, Wet City looks nothing like your typical craft beer bar. It distinguishes itself on the liquid end, too — 20 total taps, repping loads of locals plus out-of-town breweries, ensure there’s a pour for every palate. It’s a formidable cocktail bar, too (go for the Chartreuse Old Fashioned), a two-pronged attack that makes it that much easier to order food (the short rib poutine or Nashville-style hot chicken should work)."

"The explosion of craft beer guarantees a solid IPA at most bars, but if you want to dig deeper, this Mount Vernon bar has an excellently curated list, including esoteric sours from Europe, double IPA’s from little-known breweries in Pennsylvania, and options even the biggest beer fan likely hasn’t heard of. Enjoy your brews in a clean, Scandinavian-inspired space while nibbling on elevated familiar eats like shrimp and grits and Nashville hot chicken."

"This popular brewery recently moved from the co-op space at Peabody Heights Brewery to its own full-blown production space and taproom on the east side of town. Since then, it’s become the go-to spot for fans of local craft beer. Drink a hoppy 51 Rye (the beer that put it on the map) or a Penchant Pils while enjoying free ping-pong, live music most Friday nights, and rotating food vendors on Saturdays."

"Located in the heart of Locust Point at 1215 East Fort Avenue, Diamondback calls itself an experimental production brewery focused on unfiltered lagers and hop-forward ales. Co-founder and owner Tom Foster said the Diamondback idea started during his senior year at University of Maryland College Park. He and his partners were home-brewing out of their house and eventually developed a business plan and started contract brewing in St. Michael’s."

"Judy Neff started homebrewing as a hobby about 15 years ago and eventually had eight taps in the basement of her Baltimore home. “It was getting out of control,” she said.
