It was Superbowl Sunday, and those in Ravens country were mostly done with football. For those unaware, the Baltimore Ravens’ loss to the Kansas City Chiefs a couple weeks ago was crushing. As a distraction, we decided to check out Black Flag’s new spot for lunch. Black Flag Social House is tucked away in the back corner of the parking lot, near the intersection of Marriotsville Rd and Old Frederick.

When I first walked into the Social House, I was struck by how bright and cheerful it was, with lots of glass and gorgeous wooden tables for dining. The brewery is on your left behind glass doors. (We learned later that this brewery is not yet open, and all the Social House beer is currently made at Black Flag’s Brewing Company on Snowden River). An impressive pizza oven is located in the back. Also in the back, but outside, is a porch (not yet open to the public) overlooking the woods in the direction of the Little Patuxent River.

Our experienced waiter had recently come from Guinness Brewing. It is full table service here, as opposed to the brewery. The beer is good – Deep Beer uses untappd data to rank Black Flag as the 14th best brewery in Maryland. We were encouraged to try samples of any beer we wanted, but no flights were available. I enjoyed a sour – Crumble: Apple & Mixed Berry. The food is good bar food. My pizza was delicious, and Mrs. Adventures enjoyed her burger.

Our party of 4 all agreed that we’re definitely coming back to the Social House. It was a bit loud, but it was a nice, comfortable brewpub to enjoy a meal and a few drinks with friends.
