Brewery Celebrates 5th Birthday With New Beer, Live Music In Anne Arundel County

ODENTON, MD — Crooked Crab Brewing Company is celebrating its fifth birthday this week in Odenton.

The brewers are releasing new beer and throwing a weekend-long party to celebrate.

Crooked Crab dropped these original brews last Thursday:

• Birthday Cake Punchline, an 8.2% alcohol by volume imperial dessert sour
• Now That's What I Call Hops! Vol. 1, a 7.5% ABV American IPA
• Totes Ma'Oats, a 5.2% ABV oatmeal stout

These two cans will follow this Thursday:

• Crabby Birthday 2 You!, an 8.5% ABV New England Double IPA
• Excessively Juiciest, a 12% ABV New England Quad IPA

The brewery will release these final two bottles on Saturday:

• 10-Year Barrel-Aged Buffalo Trace Altered Beast, a 13.5% ABV bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout that was aged for 11 months in 10-year Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrels
• Sagamore Rye Barrel-Aged Darksaber, a 12% ABV barrel-aged imperial dessert stout that was aged for 17 months in Sagamore Rye barrels

Crooked Crab first opened its 2,200-square-foot bar in 2018. Soaring windows in the original taproom overlook the brewhouse, which spans about 4,000 square feet.

The brewery has become an Odenton staple over the past five years, making it popular enough to expand.

Crooked Crab leased the neighboring storefront and started renovating its 8,700-square-foot addition.

That expansion added a pizza kitchen, bringing food in-house, and installed three more fermenters, boosting the brewery's production capacity by a third. Crooked Crab also built the infrastructure to double its production capacity down the line.

Customers can learn more about the project in this Patch story.

The pizza kitchen is open from 2:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday through Friday. Its weekend hours are noon to 8:30 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 7 p.m. on Sunday.

The taproom is open Monday through Friday from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. The Saturday hours are noon to 10 p.m., and the Sunday hours are noon to 8 p.m.

Crooked Crab is located at 8251 Telegraph Road, Suite D. Patrons can contact the brewery by calling (443) 569-9187 or emailing [email protected].
