Halethorpe

Halethorpe, just outside Baltimore, punches above its weight for a small community thanks to Guinness Open Gate Brewery, the company's US brewery and taproom, alongside real local names like Heavy Seas Beer - BarFinder lists 20 venues here, with breweries and distilleries making up a real share alongside classic bars and pubs. Neighborhood spots like Shuffle's Saloon keep the more traditional bar scene going too. It's a surprisingly strong craft-beer pocket for its size.
