Elkton Brewing Company

 

 

 

 

Good music. Two bars- one large open area and one in a smaller room plus outdoor seating area and a food truck with interesting sounding selections. Good selection of beers on tap. Live music schedule some nights

Beautifully renovated building in the middle of this tiny town. Long copper bar, low tables, front porch and beer garden provide plenty of seating options. Small performance space. No food, but a food truck out front. 14 taps cover all the bases for style. Great service. Worth a visit.

Beside a railroad track in the town of Elkton, this brewery has an air of starting from a historic building (I did not research its origins). Inside is a nicely laid out, sneakily spacious tap room with a few sofas, a handful of tables, and a 30-ish seat bar. There is additional outdoor seating, which I was told would be a place to listen to some music on the summer weekends when they have live bands. In cooler months, there is a stage setup inside.

We were there on a slower mid-week day, and the owner (I was led to believe) was quite helpful setting up out flight choices from the 14 beers they had on tap (they also had some non-alcoholic offerings). The breakdown included a requisite number of IPAs, but included a few lagers, sours, and even some more rarely seen styles. There was only a single Irish nitro pour on the darkest end, but overall a good range of offerings. Of what we tried, most sat in the middle ground of being tasty and generally in line with style, with a couple above average offerings.

They had two sizes of Crowler for to go and would fill growlers, though it wasn’t entirely a straightforward path on dealing with those. They did not have packaged beer to go as of our visit.

A nice place I’d easily buddy again and one where I could see myself hanging out if I lived nearby.
