Antietam Brewery

"Brewing Small Town History"

Western Maryland, generally, and Hagerstown, particularly, is steeped in American history. Although it may not make it into textbooks, beer played a big role in the lives of Civil War soldiers; as a comfort, as a release from boredom and as a palliative in Civil War hospitals.

With the Antietam Battlefield and Antietam Creek in our back yard, and an illustrious history all around us, we wanted to make comforting, boredom-crushing, delicious handcrafted ales, and that’s why we we’re called Antietam Brewery.
