Other than the fact I've had multiple boxes shipped to me in the past year, I suppose we'll follow your understanding.

you've ordered directly from this 3F online shop recently?  cool!  if so, i wonder why their instructions are so misleading (or why my reading comprehension is so poor…)

bought from 3F and shipped from etre multiple times last year - its not complicated

As my 7th grade geometry teacher said: I’m a lost ball in a high weed.

Wish I’d known about this. F me.

I’ll reserve comment until I see the tap list. Not a bad idea tho.

ratebeer has released its Best Awards For the year 2020.

in the New Brewer Awards category, gold went to Timber Ales in NYC… never heard of them, anyone else?  and the bronze went to 5e Baron ("fifth baron"), from my sleepy little hometown in canuckistan.  reading that almost made me spit my beer…  guess i have a new place to visit next time i'm home (if the border ever opens up).

interesting that in the top 10, the only other american entry besides Timber Ales is Short Throw from Richmond VA.

Best place in Md for beer (subregion category) is Jailbreak?

maybe it was a nod to the insurrection

That place that sells overpriced six packs in Vermont rated best brewery in the world!

a fool and his money are easily parted
is there any way that all the people who voted actually tasted some when it's so difficult to get?
I think the voting was rigged!

Was nice to see my homebrew took second place
Side Project Brewing

I have heard of Timber but have not had. I had a Short Throw beer last night. The fact that both are gypsy brewed at and distributed by 12 Percent makes it sound sketch.

Jailbreak is still the worst brewery I've visited in Maryland.

what happened?  i visited once, thought they were pretty decent.  they had a tropical IPA that worked for me.  can't remember what else i had, but we spent 2 hours there.  dunno if i'd ever go back, they were only slightly above average, but nothing i'd complain about.  this was summer of 2016 IIRC.

You’ve been to Brookeville Beer Farm? 7 Locks? The latter might be my least favorite in MD. Have friends who love it tho.

I was going to say i defer to you and Yada for Maryland brewery commentary. I've been to Jailbreak and Brookeville once each. Both forgettable, though my sample size is obviously tiny. So grain of salt. Never heard of 7 Locks, but i'll make sure to avoid.

I've admittedly never visited a brewery in MD in search of good beer… It's always been purely social or to simply enjoy the outdoors while herding children…. Maybe I take that back, I went to Diamondback early in the haze craze which was above average beer, below average taproom and Sapwood, we probably don't need to go down that rabbit hole again.

7 Locks - Awful beer and have never set foot in their taproom
Brookeville Beer Farm - Awful beer, average setting, way too close to the highway for herding children.
Waredaca - Awful to mediocre beer, top tier setting for herding children
Lone Oak Brewery - Mediocre to average beer, top tier setting for herding children

The end.

Edit: *awaits wrath of walky regarding children at breweries*

Edit x 2: none of the breweries I mentioned would survive without families supporting them.
