    Heading down to OC MD for vacation wondering if there are any half decent bars or bottle shops with anything solid or different. Heading down from pittsburgh so maybe if you guys know any pit stops also let me know

    Burley Oak in Berlin (about 20 minutes outside of OC) is a must hit. Growlers, crowlers, cans, and 750ml for sale.

    Bottle shops: Liquid Assests (93rd), Anthony's (33rd), Late Night (66th - I think)
    Bars: 45th Street Taphouse

    Definitely take the 15 minute or so ride to Burley Oak in Berlin. I really love what those guys are doing.

    Burley Oak for sure, Real Ale Revival is on your way in about 45 min or so north of Burley Oak. There's another brewery on same route into OC as RAR and Burley about midway between those two but I don't remember the name and have no experience with the beer. Pizza Tugo's on Rt 50 (I think), main drag into OC has a very respectable taplist with about 40 beers on tap, also decent food at reasonable shore prices. Check out Assawoman Bay brewing, beers are ok and brewery located right next to 45th St. Taphouse. Have fun but be careful driving this time of year. Probably coming through Frederick MD, could hit Flying Dog.

    If you are driving down 113 through Milford, DE Misspillion River is right off 113. Good beer and an easy stop for some growlers and cans to stock up on. Oh, and Burley Oak for sure, my favorite brewery on Delmarva.

    Another vote for Liquid Assets. I ate there and had 2-3 beers. Pretty solid beer list. Didn't buy any beers in the bottle shop, but it seemed like a good selection.

    Not sure how you are getting down there, but if you can swing by Dogfish Head in DE, worth the stop.

    Thanks a lot for all the replies gentlemen. Definitely check out burley oak and liquid assets. Anthonys is real close to where i'm staying, Also pizza tugos sounds like it's worth a look into.
