Really wanted to give this place a good review but I couldn't because of your staff. Stopped by on a Sunday night and grabbed one beer, waited a bit to get helped while not busy at all which I was fine with, but 45 minutes before closing my bf and I were getting hounded by staffing telling us it's close to their closing time.We had 3 separate staff try and take the corn hole game from us to put away while we were clearly still using it. Went inside to hopefully grab a second beer at 8:30 (30 minutes before closing) because clearly we can drink a beer in that amount of time and they already had their seats up and told us they do last call 15 minutes before close when it was literally more tha...
Always a chill place and forward thinking in both its growth and tasty beers. It's physical space has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The beers are creative and there's a lot of variation that we look forward to trying with each visit. Today we had the chocolate hazelnut porter. It was smooth and so drinkable with notes of vanilla, hazelnut, and coffee. If you see the owner, he's usually very busy but will take time to chat with you. The background music sets the mood for a relaxed atmosphere. We highly recommend checking this place out and get here early if you want a seat because it gets jam packed. Pups are welcomed too. Just be prepared to stay outdoors though.
We found this restaurant while meeting up with some friends and their kids, and it turned out we weren’t the only ones with little ones, which was nice! It was super crowded on Friday night, showing just how popular it is. If the weather had been nicer, we could have enjoyed the outdoor area, but it was rainy and cold. The indoor space, however, was great. The servers were friendly and very helpful. Unfortunately, they don’t offer beer flights on weekend nights, which was a bit disappointing, but the beers we did try were tasty. I also appreciated that it was easy to order food from the food trucks online. I will definitely come back the next time I'm in town!
We parked our RV across the street at Harvest Host and spent the majority of our day here. The beer selection is impressive; we tried a variety of brews, including some sours, a stout, an IPA, hard cider, and hard seltzer. The food trucks were excellent as well. We enjoyed Greek food for lunch and cheesesteaks for dinner. Our dog was welcome in the outdoor areas and the spacious tent, so he could mingle with other dogs. They allowed him inside while we placed our order, but he couldn't stay in with us. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning on a future road trip.

What a great area. They have multiple seating options both indoors and outdoors . The ambiance was great especially with the music playing. Outdoor areas have games in certain places. The beer is flavorful and tasty depending on your flavor pallet. My friend enjoyed the cosmic lasso. They have non alcoholic options as well. Food wise we utilized the food truck that was there. For a price you can also rent put certain areas. The staff is very helpful in that process.
Top brewery in Bel Air. People are so friendly and craft beer is awesome. We plan to celebrate my man's birthday this Sunday before the Super Bowl game. Pick up some local craft beer to go. Let's dance to the great bands that play at the brewery. Plus grab some local artisan food from the trucks. We will catch up with friends over a cold one, just like we always do at IBC.
Highly recommend coming here! The beers are always excellent, and their indoor and outdoor seating is plentiful and comfortable. They always have great food trucks and live music, and I love that they're dog friendly! Also very conveniently located right off the Ma and Pa trail. There is a parking lot across the street (Ellendale), but it gets packed fast on the weekends!
We like the concrete and steel theme of Independent. The staff is always helpful. The beer is good. Let me recommend the Carpe Diem and it's variations if you are an IPA fan. It's kid friendly, dog friendly, bike friendly. They seem to always have a food truck.

Just another brewery in MD with mediocre at best beers. Unfortunately the Harford County area is riddled with these breweries that don't offer much quality in the way of beer. You have to go to PA or Baltimore/Howard County for quality beer in the general area.
Our friend was pleasantly surprised to discover that all the beers were gluten-free! The atmosphere was perfect for a rainy winter day. The chef at the food truck was very knowledgeable about gluten-free options and made excellent accommodations for my husband.
