In the June 2007 issue of Beer Advocate Magazine, Lew Bryson and Jay Brooks offer up “Nine Great Beer Towns You Didn’t Know Were Great Beer Towns”.
Entry number four is Frederick, Maryland.
Frederick, or “Fredneck” as it is colloquially known in more “civilized” parts of Maryland, is the second largest city in Maryland and the fastest growing.
It’s also home to a very nice craft brewery as well as two brewpubs, which I’ve mentioned previously, as well as some very nice and beer-savvy restaurants.
It’s also twelve miles up the road from my home.
This calls for a beer.
Update
Here are the other eight:
- Český Krumlov, Czech Republic
- Guelph, Ontario
- Easton, Pennsylvania
- Eugene, Oregon
- Austin, Texas
- Santa Rosa, California
- Cleveland, Ohio
- Innerleithen, Peeblesshire, Scotland
That was a city we were in? next time I won’t blink and miss most of it
