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!).
