“Large interior space in a commercial complex, ample parking. Patio out back. Great service. No flights, but 5 oz pours are available. All of the beers I sampled finished way too fast.“

“This is a new place about 1-year-old off Route 3 North of Bowie, MD. Very clean taproom with TVs and ample tables. They fill growlers and do flight and sell quart containers. The Forbin IPA was excellent. Some fast-food along the road is a vailable.“

“This place epitomizes why shaker pints have no place at all in craft beer. Yes, there are 104 taps, creatively stocked, big emphasis on local and regional stuff. But 80% of their beers are only available in pints, while the rest at 8% or greater are only in 10 ounce pours. No flights, despite having a half dozen of their own Push beers on offer. Server explained that they can’t price out the smaller pours. How do all the rest of the bars in the area do it? At least offer a half pour for half price. Or charge for a flight based on the most expensive beer in the flights, your margins will be higher, and the customer can decide. After a full pint of a very tart berliner, I wasn’t in the mood for anything else. Other than that, this is a large, generic looking strip mall place with essentially unlimited parking. Dozens of TVs, always in your face, set to two channels; I felt surrounded. Only a handful of customers, a telling sign.“

“Huge Bar w/104 taps, can’t say much more than that about selection! No samplers but they will let you try anything you want. Great atmosphere, service was quite good. If they aren’t sure about a beer, they go find out....they don’t just give you some BS answer! Food was pretty good though the menu was somewhat limited. Found this place to be quite enjoyable. “

“This is the place to go for a large selection of craft beers (100 taps). Their house brand "push" is often a good choice as well. The food is good but a little overpriced (appetizers are way overpriced). My only small complaint is the wait staff always pretends no to know the prices. The pattern is consistent, if you ask: the penalty is an extra 5 minutes until you get your beer. During the daytime the place is kid-friendly and the wait-staff is always professional and attentive.“

“Frisco’s second tap house is a large restaurant/sports bar with over 100 beers on tap. When we went, many of the selections were excellent &/or rare. With that many beers on tap, a big concern is going to be cleanliness of the lines, and at least one of our beers made me wonder (&/or wonder how long it had been on tap). Food was decent, maybe a bit better than average pub grub, and certainly less expensive than comparable fare in the city. Importantly, there were decent food options to occupy the kids while we partook of the beers. All told, it’s a bit of a haul, but their online tap list was up-to-date, meaning that I wasn’t disappointed when I got there. I expect we’ll return every couple of months or so.“

“Located in a new shopping center in Crofton, MD. A couple of dining rooms separated. A large bar. The staff was very knowledgeable and tentative. The food menu seems to be smaller than the Columbia menu but my favorite items were on it so it didn’t make a difference to me. As far as the beer selection there are 100 beers on tap, do I really need to say more? dlovell2 must try: Food: Wings grilled spicy, Corn dogs, Pastrami Sandwich Beer: Push Brewing Reckless Ascension“

“Small liquor store tucked in the corner of a small shopping center, near the Dunkin’ Donuts. Their actual name isn’t on the outside of the store, it’s just simply Beer/Wine/Liquor. A few shelves of unrefrigerated bottles near the middle of the store as you walk in. A few cases of bombers in the back left corner. Decent selection of refrigerated sixers and large format bottles. They also had some singles to make your own mixed six pack. Table up front near the cashier had some more limited bottles. Wasn’t asked if I needed any help while I browsed, cashier seemed indifferent during checkout. Prices seem about average for the area. Worth a look if you’re in the area or passing by before/after Frisco’s Crofton/Gambrills location.“

“Located in a suburban shopping center close to the second Frisco Tap House location. Small store mostly geared for wine and liquor with a very small section of craft beer, two to three small shelves of unrefrigerated sixers and large format bottles. Wall of coolers towards the back with some craft mixed in with the macro swill. Wasn’t bothered by anyone to see if I needed any help, looked like one worker was busy chatting on his cell phone. Most notable stuff were some Jailbreak, Union, and DC Brau sixers. About a five minute walk from Frisco Tap House II. Not really worth a stop unless you happen to be in the shopping center for Frisco and have a few minutes to kill.“

“Tucked in a suburban shopping center between a pizza place and Applebee’s. Food menu is a bit smaller than the Columbia location but mostly similar, no pizzas or burritos/fajitas though. Small dining area as you walk in with more tables in the spacious bar area. Nice long bar with some community tables nearby. Enormous amount of beer on draft with two casks totaling 104 different beers to choose from. Don’t know if they have bottles but I didn’t see any coolers like at Columbia. Like Columbia, they offer beers in 16 ounce glasses with 10 ounce glasses for higher ABV stuff. No taster pours which is unfortunate and a bit strange with the amount of beers they have on. Food was okay, bacon wrapped scallop sliders were tasty. Food and beer prices are about a bit pricey and in line with the Columbia location. Worth a stop if you’re in the area or passing by.“

“Good store that carries a nice selection of american and foreign beers with rare and limited beers. Prices are a little high, nice spot right off route 50. Some bottles sit for extended periods of time so check the bottle date.“

“One of the best craft brew selections in the area in what is a very small store. Prices are on par with other Maryland liquor stores (but if you are coming from VA, be prepared for sticker shock!). Many of the staff are very knowledgeable about craft brews and can provide pointers. Beer tastings just about every Friday. Offers special growler pours (2 rare beers available at a time).“

“Great selection of Belgians. All but the hardest to find are represented. Best selection of Rogue in the area. Plus they had a prized Saison Dupont glass that i’ve been searching high and low for. The vintage British motorcycles on display are a nice touch.“
