Monocacy Brewing Co Opens In Frederick MD Today (8/4)

Frederick’s already thriving craft beer scene will get a splash of new life Saturday, when the Monocacy Brewing Co. hops into the mix with its grand opening.

The brewery will hold an open house from 2 to 5 p.m. at 1781 N. Market St., including brewery tours, a question-and-answer session with brewers and a sampling of Riot Rye Pale Ale, the first beer to be sold under the Monocacy label.

Phil Bowers, the managing member of Monocacy Brewing and president of Brewer’s Alley Inc., said the expansion to a new brewhouse was fueled by the success of Brewer’s Alley’s beers and customer demand.
