Where to get it

Draft only at the Crofton taproom while it lasts.

Around Crofton and nearby towns.

  • At the taproom
  • Cans to go
  • Growler fills
  • Bars and restaurants

Most of the beer is poured in the Crofton taproom, which sells 32 ounce crowlers and fills clean 32 and 64 ounce growlers you bring in. Cask and nitro beers are not filled to go. A few Chesepiooc taps also turn up at bars in Anne Arundel and Prince George's counties.
