If you guessed that the planned Hook and Ladder Brewery and Restaurant wouldn’t make it in time for Oktoberfest then you guessed right.
Silver Spring based Hook and Ladder Brewing Co. was suppose to open in the middle of the summer and those plans were pushed to October. With the month right around the corner it’s [...]
