Two Frederick beer companies will honor Comptroller Peter Franchot with special brews in appreciation of his support of the local brewing industry during the General Assembly’s most recent session.

Monocacy Brewing Company has created a beer called Saison du Franchot, while Barley and Hops Grill & Microbrewery named its beer Franchot Comes Alive.

The brews are set to debut June 28 at the Frederick brewpub Brewer’s Alley, said Jim Bacukman, sales and marketing director of Monocacy and the brewpub. Kegs of the beer will be tapped at the event, which runs from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at 124 N. Market St.

In April, the General Assembly passed legislation that will allow breweries to sell significantly more beer at their on-site taprooms. —Wesley Case
