I’ve really watched Maryland’s craft beer scene take off over the years. If you’re anything like me, you’ll love how every brewery brings its own spin to the table. You’re not just getting the same old thing—some places stick with solid, classic IPAs, while others surprise you with fruit-infused creations or smooth barrel-aged brews that make you do a double take.

When I explore different parts of the state, I always make time to check out a new local spot. You should too—it’s a great way to taste what’s brewing in Maryland. Whether you lean toward hoppy, sour, or something totally unexpected, you’ll find a beer that hits just right for you.
