Microbrewery and Taproom

Taneytown, Maryland is home to an agile small brewery with a focus on high quality beer and endless nerdy, pop culture references. With 13 taps, we pride ourselves on having a beer for every palate.

Our Beer Garden

Not only do we have outdoor seating, we are proud to have the largest piece of public art in Carroll County. Our beer garden is surrounded by a massive mural featuring the favorite icons of our founders.

Who We Are

Brewery Fire was founded in 2018 by former homebrewers Jesse Johnson and Dave Palmer. We opened our doors to the public in September of 2019

About Us

The beer landscape is full of companies with many different backgrounds. Brewery Fire is:

  • Brewer Owned
  • Owner Operated
  • 100% Independent
  • Community Focused

Beer on Tap

We have 13 taps and pride ourselves on having something for everyone!

Whether your like IPAs, Lagers, Stouts, or something more off the wall, we have you covered!

Beer to Go

We package our craft beer in 16oz and 12oz cans, sold to-go in our taproom, and available in limited stores across Maryland. Growler fills are also available upon request, though we encourage you to buy our canned beer instead!

Just like our draft list, our packaged beer lineup changes constantly, so stock up on your favorites, and come back to see what's new!

Dan is the best guy Dave and Jesse know, and doesn't get the love he deserves. Poor Dan.

Sawyer is our favorite beertender. If we didn't say that she'd beat us up. That doesn't mean it's not also true... we'll leave that interpretation up to you.

Freindly service with a wide selection of beers. Nice decor and a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely worth the visit.

On a scale of one to five... I give it five Geeks up. Beer Geeks will love the imaginative tap offerings. Ales, stouts, and even a frozen something. Scifi Geeks will love the ingenious names, wall art, and mural. Fantasy Geeks will love the one of a kind flight swords!

Our Clients
John B.

Absolutely loved this place. This is what a small independent brewery should be. The brewer was serving and more than willing to talk about his beers without getting jargony. My wife and I both enjoyed everything we tried. We definitely want to come back.
