What's New in BREWS: Finding the Best in Locally Made Beer
"Across Maryland I intrepidly trek, finding a delicious Dunkel Weizen and Hefeweizen at Frederick's stellar brewpub, Brewer's Alley.
Formerly Frederick's City Hall, the 19th century brick building is lovely, and the food and drink offerings are up to their surroundings.
The Pils and the IPA are also first-class and the sampler rack complements well one of the best vegetable pizzas I've ever had.
There's a huge menu to choose from, and you should ask your server about ideal food-beer pairings, because this is one of the few places
I've found that seems to do everything well.
"(Brewpub) Most worth a drive: Brewer's Alley in old town Frederick is in a beautiful 120-year-old building and does everything well,
from pilsner to stouts to grilled fish to pizza."
