March 2012 Featured Brewery – DuClaw Brewing Company
DuClaw History
DuClaw Brewing Company opened it’s first restaurant and brewery in 1996 in Bel Air, Maryland. Countless brewing awards later, brewing operations moved to an expanded facility in Abingdon, Maryland to keep up with the growing demand for barrels of DuClaw Brewing Company’s ever growing line-up of specialty brews.
DuClaw plans on moving to a new 167,000 square feet facility, located in Havre de Grace, Maryland, by October or November of this year (2012).
Beers
DuClaw currently has a stable of around eight beers available year round, with another 25 or so seasonal or special brews. These beers run the gamut from Bad Moon Porter and Venom Pale Ale on the year round taps and Black Jack Stout and Devil’s Milk Barleywine as seasonals or specials.
Locations
As noted above, DuClaw’s main brewing facility will be moving later this year. DuClaw’s beers are currently brewed at a facility in Abingdon, Maryland. Besides the brewing facility, you can find DuClaw’s beers on tap at the 4 DuClaw locations in Maryland (Arundel Mills, Bel Air, Bowie Town Center and the Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI)).
Testimonial
Keith Hipsley, @FireBrewer, suggested DuClaw Brewing Company as March’s Brewery of the Month:
{xtypo_quote}DuClaw is my favorite local brewery. Their beers are top notch and they continue to innovate and push the boundaries in terms of recipe, market and craft beer scene presence. They’ve developed a huge and constantly growing following and will only continue to do so as they grow and expand later this year. With over 15 years in the business, I’m excited to see what the next 15 will bring.{/xtypo_quote}
