Any eastern shore brewers?

I am in Salisbury. You are the first I have seen on here.

Salisbury here. Well, closer to Fruitland, but same area.

Delmar, MD here. I ride to the beach and go to the Delaware home brewers club. Store I usually use is Xtreme brewing in Laurel, Delaware. There is also a smaller store that has opened up in Salisbury and a store in Berlin.

For those willing to make the drive, we've just started a homebrew club in the MD/VA eastern shore area - Brewers In the Eastern shore Region (B.I.E.R.)

We're still fairly small (~20 people on our email list) and are currently doing quarterly meetings to judge interest level. Our next meeting is July 15th, at a TBD location. Updates will be posted on our facebook page:

And our blog/website (still in progress):

Our last meeting was down in Pungoteague, VA and our next one is likely to be the same, unless we can find a place closer to the MD/VA state line. Feel free to contact us at:

Cheers!

Glad to see so many home brewers on the shore. I currently live in Millington, grew up in Chestertown, and brew in St. Michaels at Eastern Shore Brewing. If any of you guys want to come down and check out the brewery sometime shoot me a PM I'd love to show you around and talk beer. I can only deal with so many chicken-neckers who usually come to the brewery!

Would anyone in the Salisbury area be interested in used,rinsed empty bottles? I have 32-12 oz. & 3-22 oz. or should they go to recycling?

I'm in Grasonville but haven't yet brewed my first batch but should be starting next month.

I work in (and am from) Chestertown. Anyone homebrewing in that area? I live in Annapolis but will be moving back soon and would like to meet some other local homebrewers.

Time to revive this thread!
I've spent a ton of time hanging out on the eastern shore since the early 70's, and have finally convinced my wife that it's time to move there. I have an uncle outside Centerville, my father is in Stevensville, my sister is uh.., across the bridge and friends west of Galena (got a Baltic Porter going for an event there soon), and in Oxford and St Michaels. We're looking from Chestertown to Easton and a bit east. West toward the bridge seems to priced as a suburb of Baltimore & Annapolis, or just very little available there. Ideally no more than 30min from Stevensville and the free dockage at my fathers place.
Where are all the Homebrew clubs?? I saw a bunch of old posts about 1 person here, 2 there and so on, but then it faded away. I'm going to miss my club in NJ, and looking for some action once we get settled down there.
I'm a big DIY brewer running a 3 tier electric system, and planning a dedicated brewery in an existing space or new workshop once we find the right place and get settled. Got out bid on a awesome place with a kitchen in the basement on our first try. Damn that would have been awesome!

Hey, red96jeep, ESB makes some great beers. I regularly stop for a growler when I'm in town. Being 3 hrs away now really puts a damper on getting there. Not any more!

Glad to see the thread revived (and in areas close to me)! Haven't found any homebrew clubs in the area. I live in Church Hill and work in Chestertown, 3 tier electric system (almost online), 8 tap kegerator w/ dedicated nitro and sour taps. I also have a 30 gallon oak barrel so looking for someone local-ish to do splits. In other words, good luck moving here, if you need a pit stop for a pint in between the house-hunting please stop by!

Thrillhouse, Church Hill is where we made the first offer! We're still hopeful the deal falls through for the other people. Looking at 2 this weekend, Henderson and Denton. We'd been casually looking for more than a year, and the Church Hill place kinda pushed us into making a commitment to doing it. Now we're backing off a bit, but still looking, till the next right place comes along. I'll keep the pint in mind!
I've been overworked and finally shaking off 8 weeks of cold/flu, and had no time to brew since early November, so I have nothing to share at the moment. Well, except a few bottles of an imperial barrel stout, but I'm trying to savor them. The Baltic Porter is reserved for an event, and i probably won't be brewing again till after we move.
My taps were limited to 2 with my original cooler, but I got a scratch and dent Danby 7.5cuft cooler cheap recently and planning a 3 tap using SS pipe. Got all the parts, but being sick for 8 weeks put a damper on the project, now it's on hold till after the move as I may reconsider all of it depending on the place we end up. I don't brew enough to keep more than 3 taps going, and may only have 2 going at a time.

Time to check in again. We found a place in Rock Hall, a month after my last post, but didn't get in till last November. I still have to be in NJ pretty regularly so I've been hanging out with the club there when I can, but it would be nice to find some brewers in the Kent County area. At least a couple have checked in here in the past.
Due to the move and priorities at the new place, there's been no time for brewing yet. Although I did brew on Saturday for Learn to Homebrew day, with the NJ club. The club has been the starting point for at least 7 microbreweries in South Jersey area, and we hung out at one for this event, Village Idiot Brewery. We had a grand total of 3 people stop to check things out, which was a bit disappointing, but we had 5 people brewing, and had a blast anyway.
I'll be pouring pints of Dante's Dunkel in a few weeks.
