We've been to Frey's twice now and really enjoyed both visits. My husband and I have very different beer tastes: I like coffee/chocolate stouts and he likes lighter lagers and ales. We found beers to fit both of us there. I have also had and enjoyed the wine they serve from a local winery. The staff is fantastic, atmosphere is great, building and grounds beautiful. We drive 2 hours to get there. One time was a stop in a jeep drive and the second was Frey's overlanding and wine tour. We had a lot of fun at both. Yesterday was the wine tour and my first time driving in 4 wheel drive. It was a perfect experience, because I wasn't looking to break my Jeep and we didn't want to destroy the farms. We stopped at the winery and had a wonderful viogner . I highly recommend checking out them out. We can't wait to go on another 4 wheel adventure and enjoy good wine, beer, and people. read more

It was a scenic drive to Frey's Brewing Company. They just celebrated its 5th Anniversary. They serve beer/cider, wine/wine cocktails, non-alcoholic beverages (including soda, cold brew coffee, and zero proof cocktails), and bar bites (including personal pepperoni pizza, hot pretzel, fried pickle chips, and beef hot dogs). They also sell June Bead Co. bracelets and Sudsy Sister's soaps. Their Vicariously Thru Me Hard Cider was pretty tasty. We enjoyed an Ain't No One Know Milkshake IPA and Apple Spiced Wine Cocktail. We sat outside and was greeted by a friendly barn cat. read more

See your girl Danni! She was so cool! Great attitude. And the place was so chill. Very welcoming. Food trucks are on point!

Sweet little spot outside of mt airy and new market. Good beer enjoyed the lager. Inside is very sweet.

The website states they have wine cocktails but the only thing they offered was a wine slushie which wasn't too bad. Not sure what they offered for happy hour but we didn't get any special pricing. Please be aware that Bo the black and white cat seems very friendly but apparently doesn't like to be petted once it lies down. My husband got bitten pretty severely ... so be warned. The staff did take care of providing an anesthetic wipe and bandages. Also my husband really enjoyed the Mothers nibbles double IPA read more

My husband and I had a lovely evening at the Beer & Dessert pairing event with Sweet Hollow Bakery. The female owners of both local businesses did an outstanding job walking us through the tasting event. The beers and desserts were fabulous but the hospitality was even better. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Parking lot on site and looks like a lovely outdoor area when the weather is nice. read more

My fiancé and I were dog sitting in the area and I wanted to check out a brewery. My fiancé doesn't drink but was kind enough to accompany me as I found this place and saw they had mocktails and food options that could entertain her XD. Drove up. Parked. Cute farm setting with the brewery in a barn like setting. Not the biggest taproom, but definitely cute and cozy! Tbh (we don't have kids) but I read all of the hullabaloo about them not allowing kids. I can see why regarding how small the space is on the inside. Either way, a group came in and had a child and they made no fuss about it (Take it the kid was a little older and well behaved). Anyways, we walked in unsure what to do but we were kindly greeted and told to pick a table and they would come take our order. We ended up ordering a mocktail for the fiancé, their basket of cured meat and I got their IPA. Here is our order review: Mocktail - I don't remember what it was exactly but it had ginger, non-alcoholic vodka, and cider in it. If you like the taste of alcohol but don't want the actual alcohol, this would be a good choice! It tasted strong for not having anything in it! However, it was not to the liking of wifey as it tasted too much like alcohol. Our server agreed the drinks were more of an experiment and can taste interesting/different. The brewery has a free little coffee section and she was satisfied with their k-cup apple cider lol. The server did notice she did not drink her mocktail and kindly asked if she wanted something else, so that was very kind and generous! Cured meat: I think my fiancé read it wrong and thought it would come with cheese and maybe some other items but it was a 3 whole columns of different meats and a pack of club crackers. It was a hefty portion and we had to take most of it home! I was very happily surprised as some places are super skimpy with those kinds of items. Only $15 for all THE MEATS! IPA: a good, simple IPA - how I like them! Liked it enough I ordered a second one (which is rare)! They had other types, and I can bet they would be tasty but just not my thing (They were on the darker side) I did try their cider though - a little too sweet for me, but not a bad cider in my book! Overall it was a nice outing and pleasant experience. I could picture myself hanging out their with their IPA on a cold and snowy day. Also, dogs are welcome. We met a nice one who was able to hangout and relax with her human while he enjoyed some beers. What could be better?! read more

We had a terrible catering experience when we booked the venue for a wedding . We got caught in family drama on the owners behalf . If not for my husband the place would have had no food and not be set up . Do not cater at this venue . read more

What a cute little hidden brewery! It feels like you're driving into the middle of nowhere to get here, but it has a massive outdoors space and quite large indoors. My favorite part about Frey's is that you can make your own hard seltzer's, or hard ciders with their special flavorings. Choose from ginger, pineapple, blueberry and more. It doesn't taste artificial at all. They have games both indoors and out. It can be a bit hard to hear inside, even if it's empty, given the tin/steel design it is echoey. Another huge pro is that it is dog friendly both indoors and out! They have little dog beds inside for your furry friends to lay on. Their food selection is a bit small. Mostly apps and snacks. read more

I had looked for several options to celebrate hubs birthday. I wanted a place with nice scenery, lots of space, and variety of options. Freys is located in Mt. Airy, so I thought it was going to be closer, but its definitely out in the boonies. The drive is beautiful though. There is plenty of parking and outdoor seating. However, because of the heat we decided to sit inside. They had lots of seating options and the bar was big and looked really nice. I was super excited to try the seltzer. My favorite was the pineapple. I tried blueberry and raspberry and wasn't a huge fan. My husband is a huge IPA fan and seemed to like one of them. They have plenty of card games, which was just perfect. The only thing that was kind of disappointing are the food options. They do offer chips and queso, hot dogs, pretzels, etc...so obviously snacks and light menu. So if you plan to come here hungry, it may not be a good idea. The staff were really nice and attentive. I would definitely come back to Freys and take advantage of their outdoor seating next time. But overall, good vibes and options. read more

Nice indoor seating, great selection of drink. A bit off the beaten path, not super convenient for us but a pretty drive. We were there during a craft fair, so they had a decent crowd. Games and activities to play with while enjoying the beer. It would be a great place for live music, which they have during private events. Overall a very clean and nice place. read more

Sure, sure, I love the beer, but now I can get coffee some mornings too. And I'll bring my own travel cup next time. Take it to go, and pet a friendly barn cat on my way out. If they have coffee in the morning, and beer in the afternoon, does that make the employees beer-istas? read more

Everything awesome. People are great, food is great, music crushed and the beer is fantastic.

I really like all the beers I have tasted and I love the relaxed atmosphere and friendly bar service. This is my second trip here and something about it makes me happy to be there as it's so down to earth and welcoming in a country setting. The picnic tables outside were full of young families on a sunny weekend afternoon but I see on a social media post they have recently added more tables and made a request to visitors to limit bringing the younger children, except by special request. Yay to both as the outdoors when we were there looked more like a playground. My next wish is for a few different snack menu choices. But either way, I'll be back because I really like their brews! read more

Went here on a Friday afternoon. I love that it just looks like its on an old farm! There are plenty of outdoor tables and chairs, so it was perfect for social distancing. The shed that holds the brewery is quite nice and would be great for group gatherings, when that's completely acceptable again. It's also kind of fun outdoors as there are cats that roam about greeting customers. Although beware if you are allergic because they are quite friendly, and will come jump up on the picnic tables to be near you. Overall, pretty good beer out of the options we tried with some distinct flavors. My friends also really liked the salt and vinegar popcorn that they sold. read more

Ample outdoor seating with umbrella shades! The staff here were very friendly and the tables outside were clean and spaced well. Plenty of parking. The beers were really good and some of the best that I've had in Maryland (Mt. Airy, Frederick, and Olney). My favorites this visit were the Chaotic Little Friend and New Biotic Racing. Can't wait to come back! read more

Friendly family beer & micro beer with a brief menu that sees a lot of traffic. Also outside seating & group fire-pits. Music & sports TVs. Stopped by mid afternoon, pleasant rural drive on the way to Wegman's in Worman shopping area of Frederick. read more

I thought I knew about all the breweries in the area but the minute I found out that Frey's suggested "No kids under 12 please" on their Instagram profile I had to check them out and give them my money. I understand parents have a hard job, but I've been to many breweries to enjoy some fresh air and adult beverages just to realize I'm in an unsupervised day care with alcohol being served. So while I don't think Frey's is the type of establishment to turn people with young kids away (you should be respectful of their policy!), I do appreciate that they are aware some patrons just want to enjoy a day without children. Beyond my feelings about that stuff... this place is fantastic. A beautiful piece of property with ample parking, lots of spaced out seating, and great choices for beer and beyond! They have a lot of variety including seltzers and beer cocktails and every beer I've had has been delicious and interesting without being overpowering or too off the wall. They have great non-alcoholic options which, along with the child policy is a HUGE rarity in Frederick County. Frey's is an outlier among the local breweries for all the right reasons. I strongly recommend it to everyone I can. Edit: For anyone claiming that this establishment is "discriminating against children"...you're right!...in the same manner a bartender would not serve or tolerate underage children hanging out in a bar. And although Frey's is a unique and beautiful spot that does many things well, at the end of the day its primary function is that of...a BREWERY, it is right there in the name. If you need a family-friendly place to take your kids, try any park, restaurant, your own backyard or one of the other breweries. Not every business needs to be whatever your definition of "family friendly" is; and not every human being on the planet has to tolerate your children. Perhaps what is really "gross" and "rude" (as mentioned in another review) are parents who need to drink and potentially drive home drunk with their kids in tow. Frey's has the right to run their business as they see fit and I applaud them for sticking to their policy. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this well-kept secret! We heard about the 80's Nights--so my friends and I got tickets. It was a great event--with a fantastic DJ, who not only played a lot of 80's songs--but he led contests really well and got the crowd really engaged and having fun. The decorations were great--from all the 80's toys (Mr Potato Head) to signs "Totally Bogus" to the names of the special drinks. A lot of thought was put into this--which made it really fun. I especially liked the variety of drinks. I don't like beer--so I was really happy with the great variety of drinks, and the non-alcoholic options are a great touch. That's something that you rarely see, and I really appreciated it. All of the wait staff was very friendly, too. I will definitely be back and am going to tell all my friends about Frey's. It is a great place, and I look forward to checking out the outdoor seating next time. And meant to mention--they had a lot of nice food and snack choices, too! read more

Classic MD craft beer farm making on site beers, ciders, and blends (coffee & beer for example). They have 20 rotating 'flavors' that run from light to heavy stouts. They offer indoor with a bar, long tables and couches and outdoor seating is plentiful with picnic tables (some with umbrellas) but on busy days you would be wise to bring your own chairs or blankets. The beers are quality and I myself prefer the Pressured Pig. They have some dood items on site or you can bring your own picnic. read more

I was there last night just to see the place and check out the beer. I had my Wife , Daughter and my Son , his Wife and one Grandson with me. Or they had me with them whatever. We were able to bring our own snacks but they had a menu of about the same things we brought. They had a good Beer list. I can't remember what the name of the beer I got was , But it was number 3. I like stouts. It was awesome. I had 3. My Grandson wasn't riding with me just so you know. I don't read long posts so I will make this short. I liked it and can't wait to take my friends here. read more

6 stars!! Awesome place to meet with old friends. Lots of great beer options to choose from. The bartender even brought us samples of the ciders in different flavors that they are experimenting with, and they were a big hit with our group. This is a laid-back place with plenty of bar, table, and futon seating.. we didn't partake this time, but there's a pool table and darts waiting for our next visit. Can't wait to come back! read more

Awesome afternoon with music and drinks on a beautiful day. Hubby and I will be back with friends

The beer sucks. The venue is decent. Given it a shot a few times. Bartenders are essentially bodies with zero expertise or hospitality. There's about 15 better breweries to go to in Frederick Co. Hell just go up the road to Milkhouse for a real beer lol. read more

Thus place is the cutest. Such a friendly & relaxing atmosphere. The coffee is the best!! It's so good. The rest is awesome too.

Oh my goodness, what a treat this was. Visiting friends and they brought us to this farm brewery. Not far from busy roads and the city, but it's night and day to sit there and feel like it's remote and tranquil. As if the beer and relaxed but lively atmosphere from the staff wasn't enough, we got to see goats, a pig, and two emus. Everything is clean and professional while you enjoy a beer overlooking the farm. They've really pulled it off. Hope we get to visit again soon! read more

Just about the most relaxing place to have a good beer. Plenty of room inside, but with all those green hills outside, I'd rather be out. And now that there's coffee in the morning on certain days, it's a great spot for remote work, especially since it's a no kids brewery. Thank goodness. Not every brewery needs to be a chuck e. cheese. I want a friendly hello, a local beer, and the small town feeling. read more

Love this brewery! The owners are so sweet and thoughtful. The beer was delicious, they have everything anyone could want. Taste for everyone. Local and good. This is the best place can't wait to go again. read more

Not family friendly whatsoever. There was an event hosted here for family photos however the owners made it very clear children were not welcome on the premises (after allowing patrons to pay for drinks first). Aside of that, the brewery is small and beers were nothing special. Would not recommend. read more

Beautiful farm brewery with the nicest owners and staff! I was up at a farm swap and made a detour to check Frey's off my bucket list. The views are amazing, the venue is gorgeous, the taplist ensured that everyone in my group had several options to choose from. I love the over 21 atmosphere and will certainly be back when I'm in the area again! read more

Excellent choice for an off-the-beaten-path brewery. Situated in an unassuming location, we walked in to a modern tasting room with plenty of space, live music and great ambience. About 15-20 beers on tap if various styles. Beers are unique, erring in the darker end of the spectrum with several ales, farmhouse style beers, sours and saisons. No IPAs at least when we were here. Great place to grab a pint, some snacks and just relax. Highly recommend, would definitely visit again if we're in the area. read more

Frey's is absolutely the most inviting place I have been in a long time. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable about their product. The drinks are the best that I have ever had. i cannot recommend this place anymore than I have. I wish they had more than 5 stars to rate them with. read more

I love this place! It's beautiful, perfect location and I love the fact that kids have to be at least 12 years old to be there. Too many breweries in the area are allowing kids and I appreciate this adult location. Staff was extremely friendly and I will certainly be back! read more

Fantastic place to grab a beer. From the warm wood smell in the barn to the abundance of seating outside, this is a great place to come relax and have wonderful conversations with your friends. The drink options are good for any type of consumer. From IPAs and lagers to extravagant smoothies, there is something for everyone. Highly recommend! read more

This place is awesome. It offers indoor and outdoor seating. They had a bunch of beers on tap and offer some snacks for purchase. They had about 7 beers in bottles but they aren't cold. Frey's offered a variety of beers and they were all delicious. read more

I don't get it. $8 for a 12 oz pour of a marginal ipa. I appreciate the connection to, and honoring veterans, but I don't think I'll be back. read more

A bit disappointing. Seems most pours are only 14oz and yet they are commanding a premium price to say the least. Craft beers of this caliber do not warrant an $8 price. Nice looking place but you can't make your money back on it if people don't come. Doubt I will be back anytime soon. A shame, would have liked to have found a nice local place. read more

This place is awesome! My husband and I both got beer flights- 7 different beers between us. All were great! Wonderful atmosphere- restored farmhouse/ country setting. Would be great outdoor setting in nice weather. We've been to most breweries in Frederick county and this one is the best. Our only suggestion is that we were disappointed that we couldn't take any beer home with us! They also have a small menu of food to sample or you can bring your own food in. We highly recommend this place- would give 6 stars if we could! read more
