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