Burley Oak Brewery

Nice spot in Berlin, well situated off a main road, lots of parking, big outdoor space. Unfortunately, the day we went it was a billion degrees outside and so indoors was butt to nut. Even more unfortunately, they had little to no working AC so it was a sauna. Even at 1:30 pm on a Friday it was totally jammed, and there was one guy who had a whole table of like 9 under-10 kids screaming and playing flip cups while he pounded sours like he was trying to murder his liver or forget his life choices. No other parents to be seen. Service was of course slow, and no one respected the service lines so it took forever to get your beers, which were nearly room temp by the time you got to your table to try to drink them. Big draft list of their house stuff, but the quality varied wildly, which is very on brand for this brewery over the last couple years. A few standouts but several just plain awful offerings. In short, seems like this place is coasting on hype while still putting out just enough good beer to maintain the facade. And massive ding for operating an establishment with poor AC/ventilation when you're packing people in on hot Maryland summers. Someone's going to go down with heatstroke. We left after 15 minutes. This was one of 6 different spots we hit on the birthday beer trip 2021 and it was overall the worst experience of the lot.

Great selection of different styles of beer and number of beers offered. The ipas were solid, the sours fantastic. All the beers I tried were well made and really good but the sours shined. The space is great. Nice indoor section and some great outdoor space as well, although it was a bit hot to enjoy the outside space when we were there. Awesome place. Really could spend lots of time there and for sure would go back.

Came here on 30.9.2018. This brewpub opened already 7 years ago. Two bars and a spacious outside area. Ben did not like the chairs and barrel tables. Beers were all quite good - had a session IPA, a regular IPA and a Double IPA. Service was weird and did not serve us with any attention.

A bit out of the way but worth the stop. Staff is friendly and the tap room wasn’t too crowded even on a Friday night. Large selection to try and beers are decent. Tasters are crazy overpriced.

Arrived about 9PM on a Monday, doing a pretty light business of locals. Great service, very friendly and knowledgable. All beers available in a taster size, so you can work your way through exactly what you want to try. Nice bar with tables around the outside. Parking in the lot alongside, no problems there. Beers ranged from so so to pretty darn good. They are kind of getting into sours and are doing alright. The dry hopped Berliner was pretty tasty. A place to watch.

Looks nondescript from the road, but there is a lot of character on the inside, from barrel top tables and comfortable seating to the bar. Some games on the patio. Service was very friendly and helpful. Saw about 10 taps, and the 4 we tasted were all solid choices. A short detour of US Rte 50, between Salisbury and Ocean City.

Great, bustling neighborhood bar near Assateague beach with tons of rotating taps and cask beers. Lots of stuff that doesn’t turn up much in D.C., and everything is available by taster flight or 4 oz pour. Decent service. Cool patio, and great stop on the way home from the beach.

Read reviews and was looking forward to the trip, but was extremely disappointed. $6 beers or $4 tasters. Not much of a choice but to fork up extra cash for the full glass and hope you like it. Sour stout was one beer I regret ordering. They serve no food so I can't rate that. Shuffleboard table was only high point of trip

Unassuming place on the outside, just a stone building with a big parking lot, far enough away from the beach crowds. Inside, though, is a very characterful sea of wood, with a very long cozy bar. Nice selection of both their flagship stuff plus some local variants and brewpub-only stuff, as well as a few bottles to take away. They even had a cask variant served on a real handpull - although the attached sparkler might give pause to any CAMRA members who visit. Beers were tasty, service was quick and friendly. Worth going out of your way to try this place.

Nice tasting room inside with a good selection of Burley Oak’s beers on draft and one cask. Pints available for around $5 and taster glasses are $2 each. A few bottles available for take out. Friendly bartender. Well worth a stop.
