DuClaw Brewing Company in Hanover, MD
Rating: B-
Atmosphere: definitely suffers from being in the middle of a huge mall, although I'm sure they love being so close to the movie theater. It was relatively quiet while we were there, especially considering it was Friday night, but there was a big group of high school kids a table over. That said, nicely decorated. The bar area was separated from the restaurant area with glass, which I suppose is nice for some reasons, but by the time my beers arrived at the other side of the restaurant, there was no head.
Quality: the beers were solid, but nothing exceptional. We had the Venom APA and the Bad Moon Porter. The Porter went well with the Vesuvius chocolate cake dessert.
Selection: Unfortunately, they ran out of the Sawtooth witbier an hour befor we arrived. A few of their offerings are too much on the tame side: a kolsch, a lager... so without the wit there were only two beers I was really excited about trying.
Food was decent, but underwhelming. Typical bar food: we had the buffalo chicken sandwich, and the Jambalaya. The Jambalaya was nice and spicy, which I appreciated (and went well with a hoppy APA) but the sandwich was nothing special. The Vesuvius dessert was very good, though.
Two meals, four beers and a dessert came to $48 including tip.
