Yea I haven't been to DuClaw since it was rebuilt so I don't really know, just going off what other people have told me. Before it burned though I thought it was ok, at that time there weren't that many places brewing their own beer around here and they were also very close.Originally posted by pandaczar12:
I like DuClaw, but it's not nearly as good as the Brewer's art or Heavy Seas. The other local places in Baltimore that are so good... DuClaw just doesn't stack up. They have too many beers on tap, I'd rather have 3-5 really good beers than 20 so-so beers. Their food is decent, but not great. It is a good place, better than many I've been too. But I just don't have time for it when my travels take me through Baltimore... I gotta hit the brewer's art and Heavy Seas.Originally posted by BBrown:
Brewers Art is just a fun place and they have some excellent beers.Originally posted by jjsocrates:
Heavy Seas is fantastic, and I'm planning a trip to Baltimore to visit a few breweries in the area that I love. Especially The Brewer's Art and DuClaw - I forgot to list DuClaw, they are quickly climbing into my top ten of consistently good brews.Originally posted by BBrown:
Definitely agree about Sam Adams producing too many styles. Its one of the reasons I think their quality has suffered.
If you get a chance try a Heavy Sea's. Its brewed here in MD and some of the styles are very good.
My personal favorite is Riptide but I am a huge Wheat Beer fan.
I used to go to DuClaw before it burned but since its been rebuilt I've heard good things about it.
If you are in the White Marsh Ave. area try the Red Brick Station. They have some nice brews as well.
My go to's are Brewers Art and Heavy Seas. I love the Wit Trash at Brewers and the Ressurection ale is a good abbey brown and hey its that time of the season right?
