The brewery is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. There are activities every day, including a weekend drag brunch. For a place that doesn't have a kitchen, they sure have a lot going on. Customers can bring food (even pizzas) and games to play while enjoying a beer. The IPAs and Lagers were enjoyed by hubby & friends. I brought a water bottle (you can get water at the brewery too). Food trucks are periodically parked outside. The brewery has new flavors released on Fridays. The huge equipment can be seen from the seating area. Birthday parties and celebrations are allowed inside (max 30 people). The number & duration will determine how much it costs to rent the space. There was a birthday party taking place during our visit. Dogs are allowed if they are on a leash. read more

We tried Black Flag for the first time. They had a doggy adoption/fundraising event going on which was a happy bonus for me to get some puppy love and kisses! It was busy, but we managed to find two seats at the bar. The service was great. We enjoyed all of the beers we tried. It's spacious cool decor and lots of seating available (and a huge parking lot which is always a plus!). They don't serve food here, but often have food trucks. One was supposed to come while we were there, but they ended up cancelling without notice (not the fault of the bar at all). But you're allowed to DoorDash or bring in food if you're hungry. Overall, I really enjoyed this brewery and will happily return! read more

Fun decor and delicious beer! This is a great place to come with you pup too. They don't have food beyond chips but there is usually a food truck parked outside. You can also bring food in from other places. The beers in tap are all really good and you can taste them before you choose. I love the Star Wars art and even got the green cantina beer. read more

Great beer. Multiple styles for all tastes! They usually have a food truck, so generally food is available! The space is pretty large, sometimes they have outdoor space but it wasn't open when we were there this weekend. read more

Diverse tap list with friendly staff and tons of board games to play. I loved the flights and especially their hazies, but it's a shame the hours aren't longer, especially for the weekend. Perfect for board game lovers, regardless of group size. read more

Randomly visited over the weekend. I'm not a huge beer person, but I do love a good cider! They have their brewery on site. Plenty of options. This dog friendly space is cool for playing games! Great service with friendly bartenders! I tried the sangria and it was really good. They don't serve food here, but occasionally, there's a food truck, or you can order in. That's pretty cool. I would visit again. read more

Good beers but didn't have anything super unique or outstanding during our visit. It was a fairly popular space that does allow dogs inside. However due to the high ceilings, large room, and abundance of dogs, it was pretty loud inside. Located next to a swimming school, gymnastics place, and karate studio so there was a lot of kids running around as well. The distillery a couple units over will deliver food to the brewery. read more

LOVED Black Flag! Beer options were great, they tasted great. Place was pretty big for a local brewery. Dogs allowed INSIDE which is rare. Had a selection of board games and we spent hours playing Scrabble. They had Namit Filipino Food Truck outside which was super yum. Kid friendly with a baby changing station in the bathroom. Overall, a great place to hang out. We'll be back again! read more

Such a fun vibe - expect food trucks and local brews. The bar tenders Jordan and Tabby are the best. Star Wars theme runs amok and atmosphere with locals was . Venue is dog friendly and we enjoyed all the interaction at the bar. Worth a stop and convo with a plethora of locals. Ps I love tabby and her mutt. read more

This is one of my favorite local places in the area, can't recommend it enough. They always have a great beer selection for every type of person, be they a casual beer drinker or a beer aficionado. They allow dogs, which is great for dog owners. Service is always great, the bartenders are very helpful of you need assistance with what beers to get. They have a great Star Wars-themed multipurpose room, so all the fans will be very satisfied. It's also well lit and very inviting. You can also bring your own food, and they have a rotating food truck schedule. read more

Really cool place - super dog friendly, great service, and lots of board games too! It was really fun. No kitchen, but they had a food stand that served the largest sandwiches and quesadillas I've ever seen - really tasty. read more

Awesome experience for craft beer and hanging with friends. They have a varied menu of craft beers and there is always a food truck or bring your own. Bartenders are always friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. They have games available for your group and are dog friendly. Great place for afternoon drinks. read more

Our quest for going to all breweries continues but this time to HoCo. We've been here before but it was ages ago. This place is wide open with plenty of seating and a big bar. Big props for having so many sours on tap. This pleases me! Had the Mai Tai, mango lime and berry gelato sours. Also had the wild berry and prickly pear seltzers. Those were build your own. Did not like the prickly pear but the berry was great. Enjoyed playing. Jenga and phase 10 with our small dictator of a child. Doggo friendly. read more

Went for Saturday afternoon. The atmosphere was pretty chill, nice beer selection from lager, wit, sour, stouts, etc. Black Flag didn't disappoint me. There were several board games so you can play them with friends. There was a food truck but we brought our togo foods and ate there while we enjoyed their beer. read more

Came in for a few flights on a Sunday afternoon. The space is big and open, lots of seating available for various sized groups. We chose ten of the on tap offerings, was hard to choose! We liked the lime salted sour the best and the IPAs were good too. There's board games and card games too which is nice. Oddly enough, they played the same Revivalists song twice. Gotta work on that playlist!! They have snacks for sale too. Dog friendly too, I met a nice pupper. Staff is chill and friendly, she helped us pick out some beers for home. The beer is good but nothing show stopping, although I might be a nice of snob. A nice way to spend our post-IKEA adventures. read more

Went here with a friend on Friday night after climbing at Earth Treks and it was a pretty standard brewery. Good beer, big open space, and there was a brewery dog (the best part!!) I don't love that they close at 9pm, which seems really early, and the food truck stops serving food even earlier... I'm not sure if this is a COVID thing or their usual hours, but it is what it is! read more

Black Flag Brewing Company - Flight! - Breweries Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Great brewery in Columbia, MD! Dog friendly! Good beers, good vibes! So happy to have been able to meet a friend with our pups on a Sunday afternoon. I think everyone there had a dog, it was great to see! Especially with so many breweries not being dog friendly these days. It was busy, but they have plenty of spaced out tables, that it never felt crowded. They had a lot of beer options, I wanted to try them all! Their flights are 5 beers, not your typical 4, so that was nice! I still feel like I wanted to try more! I got a six pack to go... that is right a six pack, they have some beers in regular size cans, which is also nice because some times the big cans are a lot to commit to so I was happy to see it. They also had the Jimmy's Famous Seafood truck outside, the food was delish, but I wanted to mention it because again a lot of breweries are doing their own kitchen, and I prefer it THIS WAY, with food trucks and dogs, like a good brewery should be! read more

Tasty beers, friendly service, customer appreciation. What else can one ask for? Loved the ability to sit at the bar or at separate tables. Music was not too loud and allowed conversation without having to raise our voice. Staff was informative about upcoming events as well. read more

This is a nice brewery. Great drinks and service was good. The ambiance was nice as well. A private company had a trivia night here and offered free pizza and a coupon for two free beers if you signed up to play the trivia game. Can't beat that deal. Lol. Overall this is a good brewery with great beer and staff. Definitely will be back. When I do, hopefully it will be on a trivia night with the same food deal. read more

What an awesome find in the Columbia area. We were looking to a local spot, and were feeling really lucky to find this. We came in on a Saturday and knew that there was going to be a wait, but for good reason. This place has taken a lot of precautions to ensure the safety of their patrons which included ensuring their occupancy is kept low, staff and patrons wearing masks, QR menus, and no seating can happen unless someone is escorted to a seat. As for the location, my wife and I loved the look. There's an assortment of comic book themed artwork along geek-tastic wall art with a strong devotion to Star Wars. If you're a dog parent, know that your well trained leashed pup is allowed in. I'd recommend bringing a blanket so they don't have to lay on the concrete floors. Lots of seating and space at the bar. Overall it's got that industrial brewery look you'd expect. Beers were amazing. They get really creative with their rotating taps and features, but not too creative. Some spots will go way too far to the point where you don't know if you're still having beer. This place not only had fantastic themes (vanilla pumpkin, Oktoberfest, blueberry peach cobbler) but they were actually fantastic brews. We got a flight to start and we were beyond impressed. They also have an assortment of food trucks that will roll through, so check out their social media and website to know what's up. We will be back! read more

So glad that we made the trek to Black Flag. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable about the crafts they are pouring - thank you for that given that so many breweries hire people that cannot speak about the art they are pouring in the glass. They had a number of IPA's (our favorite) and every single one received a strong thumbs up from me and my spouse. We both really liked the Keep the Simcoe, Ya Filthy Animal which is a hazy... delicious! The atmosphere is a version of a small warehouse which it can get nippy inside so dress appropriately. They have TV's, small snack bags for purchase, and board games. There was a food truck in the parking lot and they also allow outside food to be brought in or you can order from a local eatery and have it delivered. The prices are in line with other breweries and what you'd expect for quality craft beers. My least favorite part is that is the location. Not a fan of the traffic and all the enforcement cameras. That said I will still return and enjoy a beer or two and take the rest to go. read more

I came here yesterday to grab some beers and I was very impressed. The Triple IPA is delicious and boozy at 10.9%. The bartender and tasting room manager were also great. I also had one of their regular IPA's which was tasty. The inside is spacious and nice as well. Definitely a great place to grab a beer. read more

Black Flag is the best brewery in the area. They have an excellent array of outstanding beers in all styles. The Coffee Glen Cocoa is a marvel. The staff is made up of friendly and just flat out nice folks. The taproom is clean, comfy, and welcomes dogs. They also partner with food trucks or HomeSlyce for food options. Two thumbs and four paws up for this great local business. read more

Great service and a good selection of beers based upon what we saw. Unfortunately we only were able to try one beer each. I had done my research online and found out that Wednesday's is bring your own mug day but that also there would be a food truck out there. We got to the place at 630 and went to order from the food truck shortly after only to find out there were SOLD OUT !!! there was nothing left. So we each grabbed a beer chatted and then moved on to our next stop. My husband would've turned hulk really quickly he didn't eat that day so we need a space that provided both good food and good craft beer. The bartenders were super friendly and attentive because this place is close to my office i'll will definitely be trying to return. read more

We went on Saturday around 5:00pm and it was BUSY! This was our second time coming here and I was presently surprised, yet again, at the variety of their beers and the fun names that go along with them. We only stayed for one drink, but we tried the Flagship as well as the Sun Run IPA. Both were pretty hoppy but had nice flavors to them. We definitely would come back and I think I'll try a flight next time as I've been impressed with the beers I've had so far. read more

Black Flag Brewing is a local gem! My fiancé and I recently discovered this place on a whim and they are now a regular part of our weekend routine (whenever we can squeeze it in). Not only is the beer delicious, but they always have something new to try. (We always get a flight to see what is new, and it never disappoints.) The staff is also extremely friendly and always goes above and beyond to make sure your experience is a great one. We couldn't recommend this place enough. read more

First time here and I think I will be back again Located in a strip mall, lots of parking. Inside has a lot of seating and a large bar. Corn hole also inside for those who play. Flights come in five which is more than most places for $11.50, I thought that was a fair price. Some beer names are "Saved by the Bell" theme so who doesn't love that! My two favorite were the "Brunch" and "bourbon stout." The stout was really rich, I don't know that I could drink a whole glass but was very tasty. The brunch was good and got better with each sip. read more

I think Black Flag is one of the strongest breweries in Maryland. Their hazy IPAs get the most attention, but I love them for their malty beers. They make make great barleywines and imperial stouts and have an excellent barrel aging program. The tap room is spacious and nice to spend time in, and their staff is always super nice and helpful (thanks Ian!). I think Black Flag is a must visit for craft beer lovers. read more

Great beer selection & a good food truck outside. The IPAs were especially great from single to triples!

One of the few breweries that offer dark beers year round, and they were all very good! I got a flight of 4 and had a hard time deciding which I liked best. Friendly atmosphere and quick service. Bring your own food because they do not offer that. read more

First there's the fact I haven't had a bad beer here yet, no matter how many visits. They have so much variety; each decision leads to an amazing drink. Smooth, with unique tastes, you'll crave their regulars and buy a growler. Second, there's the ambiance. Sometimes it does get crowded, but I'm just happy it's going so well for the owners.ive always snagged a seat or stood around playing bar games. Then other times it calms down enough for to chit chat with spectacular bartenders. Either way I usually spend my time I enjoy myself. Third, their rotating food trucks add to the experience. And their new ideas and events make it the ideal go to spot. They're simply good at what they do. read more

Super fan of this place! The beer is outstanding, atmosphere cool and experience wonderful. My friend and I got two flights of beer one from each side of the board (special beers and beers they have all time). I liked that it's dog friendly and that you can order food to the place. I saw people order Jimmy John's and Homeslyce. This craft beer isn't gimmicky just plain delish! read more

I was the first patron to walk into Black Flag Brewing and from the start I knew I found the right place! The service from the beer tender Amanda was top notch! She knew what to suggest and kept everyone's drinks filled, especially for how busy the Sunday afternoon was. Def will be going back not just for the good craft beer, but def for the customer service and atmosphere!! read more

Well, this is a great place for a beer or two, or you can try 5 short pours at a time. I have aged out of the sweet stout phase, but my companion loves the increasing variety of porters and stouts, and will try anything. Today, it was the Glen Cocoa. She prefers the Batter Boyz. It has more depth though both are sweet and chocolately. My preferences are for the Kapowski amber ale and the flagship IPA. These are clean, flavorful and refreshing beers. I will say, with the exception of sours, the range is good for having only 10 beers on draft at a time. Do keep in mind that the food is available from nearby deliveries and local food trucks. It is always a good experience. You can even bring your dogs and kids. Drink well, tip well. read more
