14 Best Craft Breweries in Baltimore

“If you like beer, friendly people and a comfortable inviting atmosphere then trust me you will fall in love with Pickett Brewing Company.“

“It can be tough to find good beer and good vegan food to hold you over for more beer - look no further! Such a fun atmosphere, pinball machines galore, the food truck out back has amazing fries & vegan kimchi fried rice, as well as live music. A great place to spend time!“

“One of my favorite local breweries! Juniperus IPA for the win! Such depth in their beers with a huge variety always on tap! And an added bonus woman owed/head brewer! Judy and Rob have really done something special here!“

“As a patron and a former staff member, I know that Ministry is run by the best of the best kind of people who I miss so much no longer living nearby. Support these fine folks ❤️“

“My sister, brother in law, and myself had a phenomenal time hanging out tonight! The live music from Anton Tuvelman and the fun shenanigans from our awesome bartender, was a great send-off for the evening! We would definitely recommend this place to everyone!“

“We held our wedding reception here and everyone had the best time. The venue was a perfect place to hold this event as both the inside and outside are perfectly set up for a no frills wedding. The pizza and beer were on point and the staff was so friendly. Everyone had nothing but compliments about the place and we are happy we chose here as it could not have went any better.“

“First time visiting, the Hefeweizen Beer is the best and the lamb burger with pomme frites was on the money.“

“I have enjoyed many of the Nepenthe beers I’ve come across at bars in DC, so I wanted to make sure I stopped here on a day trip in Baltimore.

The taproom is great and the staff both friendly and professional.

The tap list was diverse and if it wasn’t 2pm I’d have tried more (they had their Oktoberfest on). I have tried more of their porter/stout and stronger beers in the past, so I tried their lagers and lighter IPAs, which were balanced and tasty. I didn’t eat, but they had a menu that would suit any group of friends. So overall, if you’re someone who likes hanging around a taproom, in a group or solo, definitely stop be here.“

“Really awesome brewery with tons of seating space, great indoor-outdoor flow, and some surprisingly awesome food options. The pork belly sandwich and tater tots we had were fantastic and we also had two of their top selling beers. Lots of games and things inside to keep everyone entertained. This is a great option for all ages centrally located in the city.“

“Rerouted from Union to try out waverly per a friends request and it did not disappoint! Hole in the wall speakeasy meets dive bar meets brewery! Low key vibes, rustic basement feel! This isnt for beer snobs but instead for those who want to sip and chill. LOVE LOVE LOVE Mel! Will definitely be back!“

“Excellent beer! Happy to see a brewery with more than just IPAs!“

“Cool place, brews were good and the appetizer was delicious. Definitely worth checking it out“

“Brewer's Haven (Monument City and Key Brewing) have a great taproom space, excellent staff, and killer local beer. They regularly have live music on their indoor stage, comfortable outdoor seating with a seasonal fire pit, and run events showcasing local craft vendors. Food is available from Motte next door or from delivery in the Highlandtown/Canton area.

In short, a great place with great beer. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to try local craft in Baltimore.“

“Wonderful wait staff and amazing food definitely worth coming back for“
