Craft Beverage
Yours F O R T H E sampling
Kick back with smooth spirits, unique brews, and flavorful wines. When you travel
our diverse craft beverage landscape, the journey is part of the adventure.
BEER LOVERS TAKE NOTE
Music enthusiasts will get a kick
out of the beer names at Rockwell
Riverside—each one is named after
an artist, song title, or lyric. Grab a
round and jam out to live music in the
largest taproom in Frederick.
TRY CLASSIC COCKTAILS
WITH A TWIST
Grab a seat at the bar at Tenth Ward,
a woman-owned distillery in the heart
of Downtown Frederick. You can’t
go wrong here, whether you choose
from their year-round selection, order
a seasonal drink, or spring for the
cocktail flight. Need a nibble? Order
from Maxwell’s, the tasty burger
joint next door.
BE TRANSPORTED
TO THE CARIBBEAN
Spirit lovers won’t want to miss the
chance to try Pitorro, a moonshine
rum from Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico
Distillery uses a family recipe for
their Clandestino line of unfiltered
and flavored Pitorro. Sip the spirit
straight or mix it into one of your
favorite rum-based cocktails.
HOPS IN THE HILLS
For a brew with a view, branch out to
our gorgeous countryside breweries.
Meet the rare Leicester Longwool
sheep at Milkhouse Brewery,
Maryland’s first farm brewery, or
grab a glass at Red Shedman Farm
Brewery and Hop Yard settled on
over 200 rolling acres. From sunset
yoga to ax throwing, there’s always
something happening at Prospect
Point Brewing.
These are only a taste of the craft beverage locations Frederick has to offer.
For a more comprehensive list, see page 44.
GET A TASTE OF AN
18THCENTURY ESTATE
Make the most of an afternoon
exploring Springfield Manor’s
130-acre historic property, where
there’s no shortage of things to
do. Springfield’s grounds boast
a winery, distillery, and brewery,
serving classic drinks handcrafted
with local ingredients. Time your
visit in June to partake in their
annual Lavender Festival.
SIP UNDER THE STARS
Experience drinking award-winning
wine while watching the sunset over
the mountains at Catoctin Breeze
Vineyard. Located in Northern
Frederick County, this boutique
winery offers a space to unwind after
a day exploring nearby waterfalls,
lakes, covered bridges, and trails.
