Elder Pine Brewing & Blending Co. hasn’t been open all that long but it has certainly created a lot of noise in that short span - USA Today has them ranked as the sixth-best new brewery of 2020!
This family-owned brewery is located on the owner’s farm in Gaithersburg, Maryland (~25 miles north of Washington, DC) and they focus on hop-forward IPAs, farmhouse ales, and barrel-aged sours. Right now you can find their brews in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC.
Today I have their Stormgazer Double IPA. It features four types of malt (flaked wheat, pale, pilsner, and spelt) and three hop varieties (Ekuanot, Strata, and Vic Secret).
