What light beer do you have on tap?
Our lightest beer is a golden ale, called Hunt Valley Light.

Do you have a beer that's in the middle range?
Old Ellicott Pale Ale is made in the British style. While American pales are quite bitter and mostly for hops lovers, British pales are more balanced and tend not to be too bitter.

What does "hoppy" mean?
Hops are herb-like plant additives used to offset the natural sweetness of malted barley, the major ingredient in beer. Hops are used for both flavor and aroma. While all beers contain hops, the brewer creates the distinctive flavor of the beer through the amount of ingredients, including hops, in each type of beer. "Bitter" is a not a negative word when used to describe a beer, rather it means that the beer is heavily "hopped." Many people really love bitter beer.

Old Frederick India Pale Ale

What is your heaviest or darkest beer?
Savage Mill Porter

I've never had a microbrew before. Which beer do you recommend?
If your commercial brand is a domestic beer, like Bud, Coors Light, Miller Light, try our Hunt Valley Light. If you usually like a medium-bodied American or an import like Corona, Killian's or Heinekin, then try our Old Ellicott Ale. If you prefer Newcastle or Smithwicks, then try our Chesapeake Brown Ale. If Sam Adam's, Guinness or any other dark beer is you usual choice, then try our Savage Mill Porter.
