Hellbender Brewing Company

"This place is great with an amazing menu that changes constantly. Food trucks and events on a nice rotation too. However, beware of the families that like to take over the tasting room. It can be a bit much. I can see allowing kids during the daytime, but during a happy hour and before closing, it's eyebrow raising. I can't fault them for people who can't control their kids, but come on, it's basically a bar once the sun sets. Love the neighborhood feel but no one wants to hear your kids screaming and crying while trying to have a conversation. I wouldn't review if this didn't happen more than once or twice. Unfortunately, they lose a star because of this."

"Neat little brewery tucked away in the back of a neighborhood and fairly accessible off of the red line. Came here after work on a Friday and found it fairly quiet. Ordered a flight and found all 4 beers to be pretty good. The lime and salt lager was the stand out for me personally though, really refreshing."

"Small brewery in quiet neighborhood. Great beer selection and space to chill in two spaces - a warehouse area and tasting room with TVs and dartboards. Really enjoyed the Guava Lamp Sour, Hoppier Days, and the Uptown Anthem IPA. Each had great flavor and finish. Worth a visit (or two or three…)"

"Cinder was parked outside Hellbender Brewing, and we were lucky to feast on their bbq. Especially the brisket sandwich. Hope we’ll get to try the restaurant next time we’re back in Maryland. Tender meat from the smoker, full of flavor, and the apricot beans were awesome too. Happened to pair very well with Hellbender’s michelada made with their kolsch and in-house michelada mix."

"Fun, local, great beer. Seriously, what more do you want in a place? Tucked back in a neighborhood that gives it a laid back and easy atmosphere. Owners are friendly and staff is knowledgeable. If you haven't been here, why not?"
