I need to get up there. It's close enough to do a day trip to have a few drinks and pick up a few can packs. or maybe get a hotel so i can truly enjoy the experience.

It's 40 minutes from my apartment but I'm lazy and haven't been in over a year

BlueEyesBrewing · Jan 21, 2020

the problem with Treehouse is there's not really anything near it to make a trip worthwhile. You have to drive like 30 min. away to do anything else

I would say the Substance from Bissell and Tropicalia from Creature Comforts are great IPAs. I would also get Pliny the Elder because it’s there.

My local beer shop is having an Equilibrium can release on Saturday. Never had any of their beer but I'm super pumped. I've heard some great things

jciswhatis · Jan 23, 2020

Friend sent me a MMM... OSA from Equilibrium and I really liked it. Otherwise I haven't been lucky enough to try any of their stuff.

bigmike · Jan 23, 2020

Beer Maria, count us in: All Time Low partners with Baltimore brewery and we’re drinking in the pop-punk nostalgia

Anyone that can send me this beer I’d appreciate it. Will Venmo/Apple Pay you cost + shipping.

sean_rugy · Jan 23, 2020

Anthony_ · Jan 23, 2020

Barrier Brewing in NY made a few Every Time I Die releases and specifically the 'Hop Damn!' IPA was very good

momo32t · Jan 23, 2020

I’ve been in Baltimore a lot and know Full Tilt only recently popped up on the scene there.

Baltimore really could use a few more but with Union Craft, Heavy Seas, Stillwater Artisanal are all solid.

Barrier and Randolph Brewing also did two cans with Thrice. The Long Defeat was really good. The Only Us beer was so so.
