A brewery in the woods with a magical little tree-lit outdoor seating area? What could be better! The beer here is really good, and everyone is super friendly. But the selling point is the ambience. Will definitely be back - the vibes are immaculate.

Diverse offering of richly flavorful beers in a totally unique setting. We visited on a perfect late summer day, and the best seating was taken by picnicking families--a bit of a surprise. You'll love the beers, but you might want to come a bit later, unless you've got your own kids in tow...

Love this place. The beer, ambiance, and food is perfect. The Skygazer will get you lit quick

I'm not a beer drinker but there's no place else to review the Elder Pine food truck. I got this: Two Story Chimney Braised Pork Sandwich with pickled green apples, baby arugula, caramelized onions and lime yogurt dressing. It was huge and IT WAS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! I wish I lived closer because I would definitely go back again and again. Just one small complaint: The square.site online ordering interface kept adding a 15% tip even though a) I hadn't even been served yet and b) I kept changing it to 0. Needless to say, it didn't even offer a 'no tip' option. (Since when is one supposed to give a tip for counter service?) But, like I said, that's a small complaint. GO THERE AND ORDER THE BRAISED PORK SANDWICH!

Update a few years later: Now crowing this one of Maryland's best breweries. I have been several times and already have a great time. The staff is friendly and helpful, it's dog friendly, and there's multiple seating options. The best seating is they have set up chairs and tables in the woods - it's super unique and a very peaceful place to drink beer. Most importantly - the beer is great!! And they really try to mix it up. Every time I go there is something new. One of my favorites was a smoked beer I had when it was cooler out. I love all the experimentation. They had a food truck when we went and everything was pretty good! I love that you can do flights but some beers only came in cans. My only complaint is not enough beers on tap! Definitely check out this spot!

The grounds have picnic tables lit by cheery string lights within a thick pine grove. This is some of the best excellent outdoor ambience around, but bring bug spray in the summer or you will get eaten alive.
