This from Idiom Brewing in Frederick, Maryland:

IDIOM REMAINS OPEN BUT IS FOR SALE!

Here is a message from our founder:


Idiom Brewing Friends and Fans,


A few months ago I announced that I was listing our production brewery for sale in an effort to downsize, streamline and focus our efforts on our taproom and our overall customer experience. While that effort was the main goal at that time, I also did some soul-searching regarding my personal life, what I’ve accomplished as the owner of Idiom, with the help of the many wonderful staff who currently work at Idiom (and those who have come before), and where the path in this life leads.


After much thought and many long nights of deliberation, I have decided that it’s time for me to move on and to allow new ownership an opportunity to take the Idiom brand to the next level. As such, last week I listed Idiom for sale, including its two locations (the taproom and production brewery) as well as all rights to the brand.


This was by no means an easy decision. I poured (pardon the pun) my life into Idiom. I spent many sleepless nights running draft lines, writing recipes and responding to customer comments / concerns. I worked a full-time job while still brewing every day and pouring beer at night. I lived and breathed it. It was and still is my baby. However, just like all children, you must let them go at some point. Because they can be so much more without you. Now is that time.


While I will miss Idiom and will always look back on it fondly, I am hopeful that new ownership, whoever they may be, will take up the Idiom name and continue its legacy. I hope they continue to provide a welcoming place where people from all walks of life can gather to enjoy a beer and each other. I hope they continue to be a hub in the Frederick brewery scene, and they continue to innovate and provide unique experiences and unique flavors for you – my family and friends.


This isn’t goodbye. This is a cheers and well-wishes to each of you!


May you all have happy and full lives and may we cross paths again and share in good food and good drink!


With much love and admiration,
Michael Clements
