Pic(k) of the Week: What's on tap at Jailbreak?

A four beer sampler (of nine on tap), in the taproom, at Jailbreak Brewing Company, in North Laurel, Maryland, on 26 July 2014.

l-r:

• Feed The Monkey (orange hefeweizen): 6% abv.
• Big Punisher (Imperial IPA): 8.5% abv.
• Van Dammit (Belgian dark strong ale): 9.1% abv.
• Into The Dark (stout): 5.5% abv.

The city of Laurel is equidistant between Washington, D.C., twenty miles or so to to the south, and Baltimore, Maryland, to the north. Jailbreak Brewing is located just to the north of Laurel, in Howard County. It is that county's first —and only— brewery, which only just began public operations in April of this year.

It's a surprisingly impressive facility inside, plopped, as it is, within a drab industrial park neighborhood. Sort of hipster meets the neighborhood meets industrial chic —polished metal, high ceilings, and exposed block— with well-crafted beers (several fruited or flavored) and serious forethought on the brewing side. It's draft-only (and only in Maryland) for now, but cans and distribution further afield are planned.
