    Caprese panini is very tasty, but extremely sloppy to eat. It all slipped out from between the bread when I picked it up. Still worth it.

    If you like your beer darker rather than lighter, get the 1634. Great mix of flavors. It's so popular that BA now offers it year round instead of seasonally.

    The Scotch Ale is the smoothest dark beer I've ever had. Even my wife likes it. It isn't available very often and sells out quickly. Grab it if you have the chance.

    A nice little brew pub. My bulgogi burrito was flavorful but the steak was a bit tough. Burgers looked really big.

    The Maybach brews are a summer seasonal, and great if you're looking for a dark, flavorful taste that won't knock you back if you're on a budget.

    In 1864, Confederate General Jubal Early collected a $200,000 ransom for the city of Frederick. You'll find the ransom letter on the second floor.

    If you like lighter beers, step away from the standards and try Brewer's Alley's Kolsch or Pilsener.
