    Red Shedman is the name.

    Website is limited in info. and clunky right now but link is:

    It's located at the same sight Linganore Vineyards. They built a beautiful new tasting room building (I dronve out and checked it out yesterday but it was closed still) right next to the wine tasting barn, that is huge with TV's inside and outside patio as well. Beer quality is still TBD but the location is awesome.

    This area of MD is turning into beer mecca destination as well as wine mecca. There are now 3 farm breweries within a few miles of each other, Milkhouse, Red Shedman, and Frey's. Ruhlman Bros farm brewery just 20 min. over in Westminster. Definitely worth a beercation day out to sample all 3-4 although I'm not sure if Frey's has a tasting room yet.

    I also know of another farmer about 10 miles North considering opening a farm brewery. He currently grows malt for several local brewers and might be ready to jump into craft brewing as well. Got a hop farmer I drive past going to work each day, that got started this past summer as well for first time. Not sure if he's sticking to hops or going to jump into beer production as a farm brewer. Beer scene is really taking off in rural areas of central MD thanks to the new state laws that make it friendly for farmers who produce "x" amount of their own ingredeints to open breweries on premises. Something like that. I don't know specifics of the laws.

    Was hoping this was called "Another Farm Brewery"; would be a great name imo

    Have not tried any of these, but it sounds like a good plan to me.

    Great news for sure. Linganore has a beautiful backdrop. Hope the beer is good. I'll check it out for sure. I really like Milkhouse for the perfectly balanced beers. So good. Nice scenery up there too. I know of another farm brewery for later next year, but am not at liberty to speak about it for the moment. I can tell you Frederick County...and the early homebrew batches have been awesome! :wink:

    I have been meaning to get up to that area and check those places out. Unfortunately, I'm usually in the Baltimore/Frederick area to visit family and it doesn't leave much time for brewery visits. Maybe when this place opens up, I'll hit all three.

    Another rural beercation in the local are could be visiting DistilleryLane Cider Mill in Jefferson/Burkittsville area then about a short 10-15 min. drive you could hop over the bridge to Lovettsville, VA and sample beers at Mad Horse Brewpub/Brewery. That's on my shortlist of local excursions in next few weekends for sure.

    If you hit Ruelman Bros outside Westminster, its not too far away from Millstone Ciders. Millstone makes some incredible barrel aged ciders...very funky and sour. Could give many American Wild Ales a run for their money. I visited Millstone a few weeks back and its a really cool place to visit. Free samplings on the tour as well which was very cool. (bottles run ~$16-$30 though).
