Owner Dave Benfield said that the brewery should be producing beer by mid-March, and be open to the general public sometime this summer.
For beer lovers on the east side of Baltimore County, finding a pint brewed close to home just got a lot easier. Long-time Harford County brewery DuClaw Brewing is in the process of moving their brewing and bottling plant from Abingdon to Rosedale, a process they hope will be complete by mid-March, according to owner Dave Benfield. The move will double the brewery's capacity, moving from a 10,000 square foot facility to a 60,000 square foot facility and allowing them to produce 14,000 barrels of beer in a year, up from 7,000, according to Benfield. And that's something his company sorely needs. Rapid growth has left them sometimes unable to keep up with the demand for their product. Wednesday afternoon, Benfield said that four of DuClaw's …

Reporting by Capital News Service's Matthieu Drotar, Sydney Carter, Anna Weaver and Greg Kohn. Despite being traditionally dominated by states like Colorado and California, craft brewing has become an increasingly important industry for Maryland. With 31 microbreweries and brewpubs currently recognized by the Brewers Association and another 15 in the planning stages, Maryland is beginning to gain national recognition as a new hotspot of beer. From Franklin's Brewery in Hyattsville to Union Craft Brewing and Pratt Street Ale House in Baltimore to those along the Eastern Shore and in Frederick, MD, the craft beer business is not only growing in Maryland, but becoming profitable.

Essex native Bryan Brushmiller is owner and head of one of Maryland's newest craft breweries.
The craft beer business in Maryland is booming, so it's no surprise that a new brewery is slated to enter the Baltimore market. The Eastern shore's Burley Oak Brewing is quickly becoming one of the darlings of the Maryland brewing scene—alongside relative newcomers like Stillwater Artisinal Ales and Union Craft Brewing and stalwarts like Heavy Seas, Flying Dog Brewing and DuClaw Brewing. If you've never heard of the year-old brewery, that's probably because their small batch, hand-crafted beers are mostly only available in Ocean City, Salisbury and the tiny eastern shore town where they're made: Berlin, MD. But next month, the brewery will make it's draft debut during Baltimore Beer Week at downtown hot-spots like the Brewer's Cask, Max's …

Vince and Suzanne Powers recently won the second annual DuClaw Brewing homebrewers contest.
Like every great hero, the latest addition to DuClaw Brewing's arsenal of craft beers has a sweet origin story and even some “super Powers.” The Harford County craft brewery announced Monday that they had a winner in their second annual H.E.R.O. homebrewer's contest—a chocolate chipotle stout brewed by Nottingham's own Vince and Suzanne Powers. The beer will be brewed and bottled by DuClaw Brewing and available at retailers sometime later this year. The best part? All of the proceeds, not just the profits, from the sale of the beer will benefit a charity. The Powers' Vince Powers, 39, and his wife Suzanne, 38, are united both by marriage and a love of craft beer. Suzanne said that she's always been a fan of good beer. Her passion shows in …

A semi-weekly column, bringing you the best in craft beer news from Parkville and beyond.
Welcome, dear readers, to this week’s edition of Craft Beer, Here. The last time I wrote, I told you about an upcoming trip to Charleston, SC for what I think is one of the coolest beer festivals on the east coast: Brewvival. Held at Coast Brewing the last weekend in February every year, it’s an opportunity for small craft brewers to show off what they’re really made of. Brian Strumke, of Stillwater Artisanal Ales was representing Baltimore at the festival—pouring a saison called Kopstootje, an American amber/red ale called Holland Oats brewed at Bierbrouwerij Emelisse in the Netherlands, and a collaboration with Baltimore’s Brewer’s Art called Debutante. You could also find some fine Baltimorean beer represented at local Charleston …
