Ocean City Brewery

Ocean City Brewing Company
56th Street
Ocean City, MD
January 2015



I wake up and it is another cold, winter day and I feel stuck in the winter doldrums.  So, I pack a bag and head to the beach.  The three-hour drive goes quickly even though I am focused on my mission.  I am headed to The Ocean City Brewery to try new beers. There are a lot of things I like about this brewery.  It sits on the main highway of this very busy summer resort, just a few blocks from the ocean.  They offer 24 beers n tap.  The service is great.  The staff is friendly. And there are lots and lots of room for lots and lots of people.  There is a tasting room and a restaurant that serves good, responsible priced food.

I try:

·                 Elf Honey Ginger Ale- YES
·      Pumpkin Hollow- NO
·      Lost Souls Coffee Stout- YES
·      Surf Ryder Rye IPA- YES
·      Big Decisions Double IPA- YES
·      Gold Diggers Raspberry Ale- NO

Usually, I don’t like a beer with a fruit taste because I think the sweet taste ruins the bitterness of a beer. Pumpkin beer is the only exception because this fruit isn’t sweet. The Raspberry beer tasted like a lip-gloss beer. But the ginger beer had a lightness and freshness that could easily be considered a great summer beer.

Ocean City Brewing Company should be a destination point for any beer kook wandering through MD.
