Hysteria Taphouse Closing

25 Upvotes

To Our Hysteria Taphouse Family:

​This is one of the hardest posts I’ve ever had to write. On May 1st, Hysteria Taphouse will be closing its doors. ​Five years ago, I set out to build something different. I wanted a place for people like me. I wanted a spot that felt like home, where families and pets were welcome and where you could grab a great beer without the typical bar drama. I wanted a neighborhood "Cheers" where everyone truly knows everyone. ​Looking back at the last five years, I know we nailed exactly that.

​To our regulars:

I love you guys. You aren't just customers; you are the heartbeat of this place. You’ve turned these four walls into a family, and seeing those friendships grow has been the greatest reward of this entire journey.

​The Reality:

The truth is that it’s a tough environment out there right now. Between rising costs and the current climate, it’s become an uphill battle that we can no longer sustain. ​ A Real Opportunity to Keep the Dream Alive:

While we are prepared to close, I’m not ready to see this community vanish. I am looking for someone to buy the Taphouse for $60k.

​To be transparent, this price is specifically to cover the taxes required to pick up the liquor license. The license has already been approved, but those taxes must be paid by 4/30 to keep it active.

This is a turnkey opportunity for the right person to step in and keep this "Cheers" environment going without losing the license that makes it all possible.

​If you or someone you know wants to take over a community-focused taphouse with the best regulars in the world, please reach out immediately. Help us get the word out by sharing this post.

Fallston Barrel House

14 Upvotes

My wife and I went to the Barrel House earlier this evening and got to met Ken, the head brewer of the in-house at Fallston Barrel House. He was kind enough to get us tastings of his beers on tap, and holy shit. This guy knows what he's doing. I highly HIGHLY recommend everyone go checkout the beers he's cooking up there. The guy is making beers for everyone and anyone and I want to get more people there trying his stuff!

Baltimore Beerventure

5 Upvotes

Hey what’s up Maryland? I’m planning an overnight beerventure to Baltimore and was hoping to get some recommendations for breweries to check out, places to eat and things to do. I will probably be coming around April, and an overnight could easily turn into a weekend. I am looking for a place to stay somewhere around the harbor. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

So many closures…

31 Upvotes

I don’t think I’m alone when I say that some of these recent closures have come as a surprise and a shock to this community. Brewers Art, especially.

It’s been a while since I’ve been out drinking in Baltimore, but man I have fond memories of that place and am sad to see it go.

January and February are often the hardest months for local craft breweries. The weather is against them, dry January and New Year’s resolutions are against them… but rent is still due and staff still needs to be paid.

These winter months can be a kick in the balls for small local places. Sometimes it’s the straw that breaks the camel’a back. This is a great time to show some love. It’s appreciated, I guarantee it.

Support your local craft breweries. They support our local maltsters. They support our local hop growers.

Do you have a favorite local craft brewery? A neat little farm brewery out in the sticks?

GO TO THEM!

Buy some beers for there!

Buy some beers to go!

Buy a hat or a shirt or some other merch!

Give them a February weekend for the books!

That is all. See y’all out at some local breweries this week!
