**PLEASE READ**
**\*\*\*As noted in my comment below, we will be starting the meetup at Riverdale Town Center Market (RTCM) rather than in front of Franklin's.\*\*\***

I did this "pub crawl" - in quotes because only one of our stops, Franklins, would even remotely be considered a pub - for my birthday back in December and had a blast. I've changed the path we took because Sangfroid Distillery doesn't open until 1 PM on Saturdays, and Maryland Meadworks not until 2 PM, and added town Center Market.

We'll meet in front of Franklins, which opens at 11 AM, so if you want to go early and try a beer or two, feel free. You might see me there, too!

Our first stop will be Riverdale Town Center Market (TCM - https://towncentermarket.net/). It's a 15-20 minute walk down the Hyattsville Trolley Trail from Franklins (I think about 1 mile even). If you plan to drive everywhere, there IS parking over near TCM, but it's never a guarantee. TCM is an actual market, but they also have about 20 craft beers on tap. There's indoor and outdoor seating.

Our next stop will be Franklins itself (full name: Franklins Restaurant, Brewery, and General Store - https://franklinsbrewery.com/). The new brewer there has just been killing it lately, revamping legacy beers and coming up with some of his own. I've been really impressed with his offerings. I've also found the food to be very good there - delicious burgers, pizza, and vegetarian/vegan selections. And the general store is super-kitschy and also sells warm and cold beer. Franklins also has a "Quarantiki Room" outdoor area we could sit in if the weather is nice.

After Franklin's, we can stop at Sangfroid Distilling (https://www.sangfroiddistilling.com/) if anyone is interested. It serves fruit brandies, Dutch-style gins, and rye whiskies. I'm not much of a spirits fan, but i did enjoy the rye i had there

Our next stop will be Streetcar 82 Brewing (https://streetcar82brewing.com). As the only deaf-owned brewery east of the Mississippi, they take their role in the community very seriously. I've not been their #1 fan re: the beers, but the place has a great atmosphere and the owners are super-friendly, and I've always found at least one beer there I enjoyed.

We'll end the crawl at Maryland Meadworks (https://www.marylandmeadworks.com/). Ken and his staff are also super-friendly, and my last visit in December was awesome. They make some really good meads there.

I hope to see you in front of Franklins on June 22!

Planner's note 1: There WILL be a LOT of walking on this crawl, so wear good walking shoes, and you're welcome in advance for all the steps you'll be getting.

Planner's note 2: While you can park wherever you can find parking, I STRONGLY recommend the paid lot at Franklins. It's central to the crawl, and you're almost guaranteed to get a spot.

Planner's note 3: It's "Franklins," NOT "Franklin's." They even have a beer called No Apostrophe to make the point.
