The craft beer industry in Winchester/Frederick County is blooming.
In three short years, the number of microbreweries has flourished from zero to four and four more are in planning stages for the area.
Oddly, local craft beer brewery owners yearn for more competition.
“The more the merrier,” said Art Major, owner of Winchester’s Escutcheon Brewery on 142 W. Commercial St. “We become more of a destination. People don’t want to drive to visit just one brewery.”
