Rams Head no longer brews onsite, stopped a couple of years ago. They still carry their own beer but it is brewed in Dover, DE. All of their styles are pretty good. Really good happy hours.

Just an update. The bar location in Rehoboth Del has been sold. The current pub does not carry their beers. SAD Indeed. Baltimore has lost all of its original brewpubs/breweries except What Rat/Olivers.

My husband was down there today and his Tavern was brewed in Delaware. They are phasing-out their Annapolis brewed beers as they go out-of-stock and replacing them with the off-site brews. Needless to say, after tasting his Tavern, he declined another round and told the bartender, "Rams Head will never be the same". Take our names off the beer club wall!
I hope another microbrewery comes into town and is extremely successful. As a local, I am very disappointed with their decision and I will not be going back. If visiting from out-of-town, I don't think the trip is worth it. The Delaware brews are sub-par.

The news today is that the German brewery equipment will be shut down to increase seating for the music venue. The merger with A-B to form Coastal Brewing adds up to them bringing beers in fron Old Dominion and Fordham Delaware. Not certain but I believe the growler filling goes away with the lack of a license to brew on premise.

Did I hear that Fordham has been bought by A-B, just like Old Dominion in Virginia? What' up?

Great pub with their own beers and a few other taps (Sierra Nevada Pale & Pilsner Urquell the night we were there). Decent bottle selection with a beer club to join. House beers were good, not great, but still very drinkable. (Brewed more for the non-beer geek.) Burger and chili I had were very good and my wife loved the large fried shrimp. Wonderful server was very friendly and efficient. Connected concert venue was a great place to see a show, but it lacked seats except a few in the bar area. Can sit in this area if you're there early enough drinking Fordham beers and watching the band. Definatly worth a stop.

A word here about service people: So often we only notice when we get bad service. Good service gets taken for granted because ... well, we all OUGHT to get at least good service, right?
Well, from the moment I contacted the people at Ram's Head to set up dinner and concert tickets, they were EXTREMELY helpful and friendly, downright cheerful even. They really worked with me, and if there was a discount or package or something free, they told me about it. They even helped me set up accommodations for the night -- they have a deal with the Loew's a couple blocks up the street that knocks a chunk off the price of a room if you're attending a concert (and downtown Annapolis is a pretty cool place to wander around).
And from our arrival for dinner on 10/29, the friendly staff made us feel welcome.
Dinner was outstanding. I had fried pork chops over garlic mashed with Granny Smith apple gravy, and it was excellent. My wife had beef medallions, shrimp and mushrooms over angel hair and loved it. And creme brulee cheesecake for dessert was wonderful.
With beers and mixed drinks, the price was reasonable even before the performance package knocked 10 percent off the price of the food.
The Fordham beers were OK -- I had a sampler of six, what appeared to be four-ounce glasses. Copperhead Ale seemed to be the best of the lot, and that's what I drank the rest of the night. (I should mention that "OK" is relative; I had just come from spending three days at Dogfish Head, so it was hard to be objective.)
The concert venue has a tables-and-chairs setup and doesn't appear to have a bad seat anywhere.
We had a terrific time here and though it's a bit of a drive for us we'd be happy to go again if there's a band we want to see.

I really enjoyed going here. Great happy hour specials (I had free roast beef!). I ordered a sampler and found everything decent. The Tavern Ale & Stout were the best. I ended up drinking pints of stout (both Oyster & Genius). I like the nitro (Genius) the best, but everything was great. Worth stopping by.

Copperhead Ale is an immemorable Altbier. Tavern Ale has more hop flavor. Oyster Stout/Genius Stout--same beer served differently. I guess that's the Genius of the operation. At any rate, it's a good Guiness imitation. On a hot July afternoon, sit outside under the trellis, drinking the Wisteria Wheat. Life is grand. Does this place have the best beer in America? No. Is it well worth the stop? You bet. I get to the Rams Head about once a year and find it one of the best places to relax with a pint anywhere.

It's the atmosphere stupid! Actually the beer is good and the food better. Hang out in the basement for the feel of an English Pub. Hang out upstairs and mix with the locals and navy guys. Buy them drink or two.

to the gentlemans comments about 2 rootbeers for $5. The rootbeer served at Rams Head is a microbrew from Virginia and is in a keg just like a real beer. You would not expect to have free refills on your real beer would ya? Next time dont let your kid drink so much soda. It's not healthy

This was our first trip to Annapolis. We stayed in a B&B and I did my research on where to go for happy hour.I could not have hit upon a better place. Two dollar pints. The tavern ale was aces with me. The genuis stout (nitrogenated) was really smooth. They are doing some renewal on West Street, so you have to dodge construction work as you move down the street. It is well worth it though. Free mussels on Tuesday at 5 P.M. Roast beef on Wednesday. We left town though so I missed the German sausages on Thursday. Things to do. Get back on a Thursday and try the copper ale next time. P.S. My wife and I both enjoyed the service we received from Cindy who was tending bar at the time.

Love the beer at the Rams Head! This is one of my favorite places to hang out (note the one in Savage, MD as well, at the old Savage Mills.) We go quite often to concerts at the Rams Head and always take advantage of teh 10% pre show dinner discount.
My personal favorite is the Copperhead Ale--a Hop lover's delight--smooth, rich, and flowery aroma. I also like the OYster stout--a great version of a rich stout, without it being overpowering. My husband prefers the Genius stout, the nitrogen version.
Food is pretty good--I've had better, but they have a lot of variety at decent prices. Last time I was in the Savage, MD location though, I ordered wings and they came half frozen (!).
Definitely one of the better MD breweries, at least in this part of the state.

I really enjoy the seasonal Wisteria Wheat beer. Too bad it's only brewed from June through August; I should really convince the brewmaster to use winter wheat so this bear becomes a year-round staple! The unfiltered Wheat has a fullbody aroma and a balanced mixture of malts for a refreshing taste.
I enjoy a few wheat beers with my giant portion of Nachos with everything in it (including black beans, chicken and steak chilis). Even though the Nachos are in the "Appetizers" section, one portion is more than a meal for two-three adults and for $10.95 not a bad deal.
Service on a Friday or Saturday night can be slow, confusing and loud, especially when live music is playing. This is certainly a popular watering holes for both locals and tourists because sometimes I get standing-room only. Try this place during the off hours for best service. There is plenty of seating available front, back and outside in decent weather.
My son, who's only 14, ordered rootbeer with the Nachos during our last trip there. I was a little miffed that I was charged for each refill and paid $5 for two of his drinks. Softdrinks should not be charged by the glass, not in a place such as Rams' Head.

certainly worth a visit if you are in Annapolis, however neither the number of selections (6 or so)nor the quality of the beer is particularly outstanding. The food was definitely better than your average brewpub fare.

A good selection of beers to include their own. Happy hour rocks. From 5-7 PM you get $2.00 pints of RH beers and free food. On Weds it is Roast Beef that is just superb.

I am truly blessed to live within stumbling distance of Ram's Head. Nothing beats a Tavern Ale in the heat of summer or the chill of winter. If visiting Maryland, please make the trip to Ram's Head... you will not be disappointed.

I've been going to the Ram's Head for about 15 years. There beer selection has been consistently outstanding. I was extremely happy to see the Fordham Tavern open as a brewpub. This visit was particularly good. My favorite beer was on tap, the Calvinator dopplebock. I usually will try three or four of the taps but the Calvinator was so good that I stuck with it. It was rich and sweet and went extremely well with my cioppino, a spicy seafood stew. I encourage every beer lover to visit Annapolis, this place is wonderful.

Was there with Jon Bernardi (below). In contrast to the experience in buying glassware at Victory Brewing in Downingtown, PA the night before (see review by Jon), when we expressed an interest in buying "Genius Stout" glasses at Fordham at the fully staffed gift shop upon leaving to our waitress, she asked if we would like the glassware added to our check. She brought the glasses each individually wrapped in newspaper for protection in a plastic bag and offered us additional bags if we wanted them separated. As we were leaving, I noticed two employees at a table with taster glasses in front of them as one instructed the other in the beers offered. This attention to detail by management and staff is something others in the industry should follow.

This was a uniformaly pleasant experience. They have an excellent selection of beers, The Dopplebock and Ale were excellent, the stouts, Genius and Oyster were alright, nothing to shout to home about. Food and service were very good, worth a stop when you are in the area. Also a great setting near downtown Annapolis, which is also a very nice place to explore.
