The only "brew pub" I know of in Gaithersburg is
"The Olde Towne Tavern".
It's located at the intersection of Summit Ave. and E. Diamond Ave.
in the "heart" of Old Town Gaithersburg --- directly across Summit from the
train station.

I was just there a coupl'o nights ago, and knowing there was some interest, 
I scratched some notes on the napkin. Here's the order of my preferences:
    Forest Oak Amber Ale: full flavored; both bitter and sweet; can really
                          taste the oak.
    Logtowne Porter: very dark and smooth, almost a stout; crisp
    Diamond Stout: a creamy Logtowne Porter.
    Irvington Pale Ale: very cloudy color (don't know what indicates); plain
                        and uncomplicated flavor; goes down like water.
    Windridge Light: not awful; easy (huh?); hollow (huh?)
    Blueberry Wheat: awful; juice-like and very sweet; no after taste
      (yes, this one is really made with blueberries. the berries are added at
       the end of the brewing cycle)

Ok. So, the notes aren't the best. And, no, I don't remember what I meant by
"easy" and "hollow".

What was really cool is that they have a sampler: all 6 varieties ('bout
5 ounces each sample).

I'm not sure how they do the pricing. Our first round was $.95; the second
was $1.90; and the third and subsequent rounds were $2.75 (yikes!).
