I think for a lot of people, Union Craft Brewing is the gateway into local craft beer. Even though they weren t the first craft brewery in Baltimore, they seemed to be on the face of the scene.
I ve spent many a night at the old tap room that was down on the Hampden/Woodberry line. It wasn t big but it was cozy and people were always cool. I drank so much Anthem and Double Duckpin. And then they introduced their sour, Old Pro. That was a game changer for me. If you open my fridge at any time you ll probably see some Old Pro in there.

I ve used the phrase hidden gem a couple times during my little tour around some of my favorite breweries in the Baltimore area. I think Diamondback Brewing Co qualifies as well.
Diamondback Brewing Co sits in Locust Point right near McHenry Row. For a little while I had no idea it was there. I had heard of it, and always thought it would be a good idea to stop by, but I could never see it. Then I noticed the brick tower that was like a beacon shining my path to great beer.
Diamondback doesn t have quite as many brew options, which is totally fine. They now what they do well and they stick with it. I have no problem with that. Their space is perfect to hang out in. I can t wait for the pandemic to be over so I can gather up my friends and go hang there on a nice summer day. I m also anxious for summer because their summer brew is so amazingly good. It s a blonde ale and it s to die for.

In the beer market, there are a number of different classifications and price tiers for beer brands. âPremium Beersâ include brands like Coors Banquet and Light, Budweiser and Bud Light, Miller Genuine Draft and Miller Lite. âBelow Premiumâ or âSub-Premiumâ brands would include labels like Miller High Life, Rolling Rock, Keystone Light and Milwaukeeâs Best. âSuper Premiumâ are brands like Yuengling and Michelob Ultra.
A large section in most beer sets is devoted to the âImportâ category. Legacy brands like Heineken, Corona, St. Pauli Girl, Bass Ale and Guinness have been common in any quality beer retailer. However, more and more, that âImportedâ beer is being produced domestically, yet still holding the extra high price from the producer.
