Description
Founded by brothers, Ken and Matt Praay, Monument City Brewing was born while on a transformative hike along the Appalachian Trail. The two brothers, already homebrewers, traded stories about their favorite craft beers and beers they had created. Upon their return, they set out to create a family owned brewery making world class craft beer for their community.

Today, Monument City Brewing produces some of the finest ales and lagers Maryland has to offer.

Little globe at the brewery. Not for me. Generic strong American hops with moderate bitterness. String thick white bread malts. Just wasteful hops and too much malts.

Draft at brewery. Dim amber brown color. No lacing. Sweet Belgian caramel, a little gritty malt. Mild esters. A sweet but not overly sweet take on the style. Missing the earthiness and grittiness of a well done dubbel. But at least not an ester bomb. ..................................,,,,,,,........... Rerate. They now call this a Quad with some minor tweaks it seems from me tasting it. Was called a dubbel before. Tastes very similar though.

On Cask at Max’s Baltimore. Dry hopped with centennial. Hazy light golden color with a minimal bubbly white head that fades quickly. Grassy earthy pine and resin with faint bready malt and a touch of herbal. Decent brew.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a hazy golden-peach color with a medium sized foamy white head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was cactus, a bit of catbox, pine and was somewhat sweet. The flavor was pine, cactus, sweet and tangy with a moderate bitterness. Long finish. Moderately full bodied. Meh.
