Breweries & Craft Beer

Craft beer is booming at the beach and the area that was once only known for Dogfish Head is now one of the fastest growing brewery and craft beer destinations on the east coast. Here you’ll find brewery listings, discounted gift certificates to save you 40%, coupons, articles, restaurants serving up local beer, and the Best of Ocean City® winners. Fin City has an Ocean City address (just over the bridge in West Ocean City), 10+ more under an hour away, nearly 40 total within a short drive, and more popping up every year. For world class beer and world class beauty along with links to breweries, craft beer hotel packages, tours, and much more, go to ShoreCraftBeer.com. Local beers have taken over the taps at many Ocean City bars, lots of local chefs are integrating craft beer into their customer’s dining experiences, and establishments like the Seacrets, Greene Turtle, and Buxy’s even offer privately labeled beers brewed by local breweries. Love to drink local? Ocean City’s craft beer and brewery scene will not disappoint.

The Other One Brewing Company is now closed, but we are hoping it will pop up again soon somewhere nearby.  Fin City, under the capable hands of Vince Wright and his partner is the newest brewery, in the West Ocean City Shopping area next to Hooper’s. They are a microbrewery focused on seasonally inspired beers, with an emphasis on robust flavors perfect for an Ocean City Summer.  Stop by to taste Ocean City’s original microbrew, or grab a six pack at your favorite beer store. Some of the area’s best local brew can also be found on your way to Ocean City along Route 50. Burley Oak Brewing Co. in Berlin has been rated world-class by Beer Advocate and is known for creative beers that push the envelope. Berlin Beer Co just opened up in downtown Berlin, MD.  They serve food and beer by other breweries as well as their own.  Just up the road in Salisbury is the Evolution Craft Brewing Co., which has emerged as one of the premier breweries in the region over the past few years. Stop by Evo to enjoy a flight in the tasting room, or dinner in the spectacular Public House Restaurant, an upscale brewpub that highlights local beer and local food. The beer journey doesn’t end there. You can check out Coastal Delaware’s Crooked Hammock or Big Oyster Brewing Co., Dogfish Head, and even more. Don’t forget to check out ShoreCraftBeer.com as well for complete coverage of the local beer scene, including the latest news, updates, and insights. Cheers.
