BayingHoundAleworks

I've never eaten at the General Store, I live not to far away from there.

I see why they did it, but to post it on the web may not have been a smart choice, things like this can end up biting one in the hind quarters. Take for example people who post pictures of themselves in the nude, or how about Facebook status'? Future employers, critics, and potential and past customers check things like this out. There have been people who lost high paying jobs, lost their business', or didn't get into school because of something posted on the web.

A video like this maybe funny to some but offending to others. Again, I understand why they did it and having had to deal with obnoxious customers, I really don't think this was a wise decision to post this. It's even worse if it goes viral.

Any thoughts on making a less hoppy and more malt foward beer?

Actually our pale ale is not very hoppy at all. We will be re-categorizing it as a mild and will be formulating another pale ale soon. You are welcome to come by the brewery on a Friday or Saturday for a tasting.

I think the service has improved compared to Capital Icebox's experience three years ago; however, I can't say the same for the food. Plus, it was only dessert. But it tasted like dessert that was sitting-in-the-fridge-for-the-past-few-days-and-you-kind-of-forgot-about-it-flavor. My friend's cake was stale and my was not piercable by a fork. The super nice thing was that they took of off our bill. Very grateful. The beer list is nice, though. Two beers also kind of made up for things. I guess, in other words, not much to report here.

Not sure if I should chime in here. I used to work there. Perhaps that says enough.

The beer selection is fantastic. The menu probably hasn't changed in a decade or so and it is a little long.

I hadn't yet seen this thread when I saw the post on the "introduce yourself" page. You've channeled my exact thoughts!

 
I just ask that you call ahead or e-mail me letting me know a time.

In the early 1980s, nearly 30 years ago, Bilbo Baggins had the best carpaccio in the DC metropolitan area, and an impressive wine program for the time. Now, it sucks.

And Potowmack Landing is the first and last place I have ever had sashimi with a fork.

Yes, there are bad meals to be had all up and down King St.

They have a great beer list.

I worked at Food Matters a number of years ago. I primarily left because my commute was lousy. I just wanted to say that it was an honor working at Food Matters. The ingredients were really fresh and of a rather high quality. Some of the other restaurants I worked at premade far too much food, Food Matters was fresh every day. All the best to Tom.

Thanks for posting, Paul, and welcome to the community. What beers/brewers inspire the ones you make at Baying Hound?

 
Right now we are only producing a smoky porter (our winter beer) and a pale ale which is more like a mild ale. We are in the process of releasing a India Style Brown Ale, should be good to go in mid to late February. We have a few other beers coming soon, our mark 2 pale ale, geared more towards people who like hoppier pale ales, and an IPA. We do a few experimental beers and you can try these when they are in stock. Coming soon....a breakfast stout that's 9+% probably make you go back to bed and a hibiscus, ginger, rosehip ale.

As far as inspiring brewers, I'd have to say Garret Oliver, Brian Strumke, Rich Fleischer, and Nathan Sanborn.

Baying Hound Aleworks is a small independent nano-brewery in Rockville, Maryland. The brewery produces small batch beers and uses only the highest quality ingredients.

Our beers are unpasteurized and contain no additives or preservatives. Instead of forcing carbonation, Baying Hound ales undergo a secondary fermentation and are conditioned under a controlled environment.

The origin of the name "Baying Hound" is a tribute to my dearly departed bloodhound Marmalade. She was my brewing hound, always at my side and careful to clean up any spilled malt. When she died, I wanted a way for her to live on and be remembered.

Tours and tastings are available on Fridays and Saturdays by appointment.

My name is Paul, I am the founder of Baying Hound Aleworks, the smallest and only production brewery in Montgomery County Maryland, all the other breweries are attached to restaurants. I do tastings and tours on Fridays and Saturdays by appointment.
