Maryland homebrew12/3/2023 ![]() ![]() The foreign nature of the objects and tools found on the shelves made it the closest thing I’d seen to Slug and Jigger’s Apothecary of Diagon Alley. My-Local-Home-Brew-Shop is a tiny little store hidden at the base of a building you would not expect a retail store to exist in but lo, inside, you’ll find it filled to the brim with all sorts of brewing supplies. There are three shops in the area: Maryland Homebrew in Columbia, MD, Danny’s Homebrew in Leonardtown, MD, and the most convenient to the DC-area, My-Local-Home-Brew-Shop, in Seven Corners of Falls Church, VA. I purchased the first round through Northern Brewer, a fantastic homebrew supply site, and then went to a local homebrew supply shop for the rest. Before I was on my way back to DC, I’d already ordered some supplies to get started.īut, I needed more. I visited with my buddy, Nick, who is an avid homebrewer and we spent a day-hike discussing the ins-and-outs of brewing I became very excited by the idea. I had never seriously considered brewing my own hard cider, let alone any sort of alcohol, until last September on a trip to Denver. More importantly however, we’re about 8 months out from the peak of autumn, the same amount of time it takes to make a seriously strong batch of hard cider, which makes this the perfect time to start brewing. But when Mother Nature seduces us on a Friday with the sweet smell of spring, then turns her back days later with a sick smack of sleet, I’m happy to exercise a flagrant disregard for the season. February may seem like a strange time to think about cider, or even autumn.
