Reply to comment by timmyintransit in Full Tilt to close March 12th by baltimoron3231

Never really got a lot of love it seems, but Brew House No. 16 closed a little over 4 years ago. I think they'd only been open like 3 years though.

Was this the place in the old firehouse?

Awesome location. Terrible everything else. Could have been a red brick station for all I could tell.

I wouldn’t even call it a good location. The space was awesome, yes. But that area on Calvert is just people speeding through to get to 83 or w/e.Parking is impossible and traffic is wild right there.

Good point. Location is the wrong word.

And that area should be amazing for foot traffic. Stupid ass car centric city.

Agreed! I bet you could still fit a street car system on Calvert if you really tried 🤪

Their beers were not what I'd call good.

I will not dispute that, but it was a Baltimore brewery that opened within the time frame that the commenter above me pointed out that subsequently closed lol

Sure, but there's also a reason why restaurants close so frequently and breweries don't, and Brew House 16 was firmly on the wrong side of that line.

Nor was their food. Was really disappointed as I was living at Calvert and Chase when they opened and was looking forward to good beer and food. Unfortunately it provided neither.

For me the food was good beer was decent, brew house 16 had terrible wait times on any food service, imo that’s what did them in.

Ah yeah I guess in my mind I'd consider them more of a brewpub/restaurant than a bonafide brewery

Fair. I just know that the owner was always talking about one day packaging and distributing their beers and attempts were made a few times. But that guy had no idea wtf he was doing and ran it into the ground pretty spectacularly
