Chesepiooc Real Ale Brewery Brewery • $$
2408 Crofton Blvd, Crofton - 8.36 miles

“This was our first visit. We were here for a Maryland Black Bear watch party that Jon so graciously allowed our group to have here. What an amazing place! We started the evening being served by Katelyn and ended the night with John. They were fantastic! They are so friendly and outgoing, taking time to educate us about their beers and ciders and processes. They even have some rums and wines! Now, let's talk beer and ciders. This is the first local brewery we visited where we liked EVERY single one of the beers and ciders we sampled (we sampled 3 ciders and about 8 beers). I am not normally a beer drinker, but I think I have just changed my mind! I bought 3 cans of the cider to bring home: cherry blossom, blood orange, and an apple. So light and refreshing! Not sure which beer/ale to choose? Try a flight of 4. Great way to try something new. The brewery is dog friendly and even offers non-alcohol "brews" for the pups. The brewery does not sell food, but they have some awesome food trucks. Check their website for which truck will be there on the day of your visit. (You can also bring in food or order in.) If you are looking for a great local brewery with great beer/ale choices, with down to earth people and great atmosphere, then this is the place to go!!“

Reckless Shepherd Brewing Co. Brewpubs • $$
8895 McGaw Rd, Columbia - 5.23 miles

“We planned a surprise birthday celebration with coworkers at this location, which is usually spacious with plenty of available seating. However, on the day of our celebration, there happened to be four events going on—something we didn’t anticipate based on our past visits.

Upon arrival, I spoke with the restaurant manager, Alex, who was incredibly accommodating. He assured us that he would help if the community tables weren’t enough to seat our group comfortably by restaurant side. Alex and his team went above and beyond—assisting but also graciously accepting an early cake delivery and storing it in the fridge for us.

We had an amazing time and can’t thank the staff enough for their attentiveness and support with all the little details throughout our visit. Kids also had a blast.

Highly recommended!“

“First time we went the Flatbread and fries were awesome. This time we tried the Aged Waygu, it was ok, definitely not worth the $200 bill. Overcooked, not very flavorful, maybe the chef was having a bad kitchen day. Wouldn’t mind trying something else, maybe next time.“

“Going to many places, you can really see the attention to detail to the point that even the Ketchup is spiced up. The food quality is excellent and is a mix of restaurant quality while still being 'bar food'. Overall very recommended. Oh yeah, and I guess the beer is good too.

Parking: Never had issues. “

I definitely recommend this restaurant for large gatherings or celebrations as there is something on the menu that will satisfy even the pickiest of customers. There is a whole separate gluten free menu!“
