Paddle to the Brewery

Canoe or Kayak the Monocacy River and find yourself at Barley and Hops for premium brews!

Boat &

This combination can't be beat…. Only 45 minutes from the DC and Baltimore beltways, River & Trail Outfitters offers this unique way to spend your Saturday, boating to the brewery. Join us on the Monocacy River, the second largest tributary of the Potomac. Enjoy 5.8 miles of easy cruising, with a few riffles and ledges to break up the mellow waters. Lush farm fields, wooded bluffs and occasional views of Catoctin Mountain are an amazing find so close to Frederick.

After your paddle, visit Barley and Hops Microbrewery where you will enjoy an informative tour through the working brewery by Master Brewer William Golden. His expertise and knowledge of the brewing process along with the aromas of the barley and hops will keep you mesmerized. Afterwards, we'll gather on the covered patio or indoors for a sampling of 6 of their stellar brews. After tasting, have a full glass of your favorite beer on the house! Appetizers such as mozzarella cheese sticks, onion rings and a veggie platter are included. You are also welcome to order a full meal of burgers, ribs, salads, sandwiches and more at your own expense!

The price of $84.50/person includes: canoe or kayak rentals, guide, all equipment, award-winning beer tasting, parking, and tax. Tips for the guide(s) and bartender are appreciated, but not expected. Please bring a bag lunch in a waterproof container to enjoy on our trip. A box picnic lunch can be provided for an additional $8/person and MUST BE ORDERED AHEAD OF TIME.

Veggie Box: Humus, couscous, celery seed yogurt sauce, cucumber, tomato, grilled onion, lettuce. Ham Box: Ham w/ cheddar cheese, lettuce, herb oil, honey mustard. Chicken Box: Smoked chicken w/ honey mustard, lettuce, herb oil
