Brewery with craft beer, hot dogs & lively trivia nights



























"A longtime member of the local brewing scene, Denizens closed its original Silver Spring location in 2023 and moved operations to its Riverdale Park beer garden and barrel house. Beer lovers who aren’t afraid to get weird can always find some experimental and interesting drafts on the Denizens list. For a more accessible pick, go with the Southside West Coast IPA or the Born Bohemian Pilsner. D.C.’s Dacha Beer Garden just announced plans to take over its original Sliver Spring digs." - Tierney Plumb
"New Jersey native and hospitality vet Chris Van Jura pivoted to hot dogs during the pandemic’s turmoil, creating buzz with a mobile vending machine serving both classic and specialty dogs using Maryland’s acclaimed Roseda Farm beef. Opt for the “Lincoln Logs,” a butterflied dog slathered with cream cheese, or the “Nico Sauve” with ketchup, mustard, mayo, and crispy potato sticks. Catalyst Hot Dogs also has an outpost at Denizens Brewing in Riverdale Park, featuring even more hot dog varieties like the “UMD-OG,” which is covered in yellow corn, black beans, diced red peppers, and cotija cheese." - Adele Chapin
"Challenge your trivia smarts while enjoying some fresh local beer at Denizen’s Riverdale Park brewery. The free weekly games are held Thursdays from 7:30-9:30 p.m. For more Maryland beer served with a side of mind-bending questions, head to Idiom Brewing Co.’s Frederick tap room every Tuesday at 7 p.m. for a pizza-fueled party hosted by Pour House Trivia." - Travis Mitchell
"This woman-owned brewery will be open for Team USA games with food provided by Silver Spring’s All Set Restaurant & Bar. Both the brewery and taproom in Riverdale Park will be showing USA games throughout the tournament. At happy hour, beers and alcoholic seltzers are $5 each." - Tim Ebner

"A Maryland mainstay, Denizens Brewing Co. partnered this spring with the fast-growing group behind All Set and Money Muscle BBQ to revamp the food menu at its three-year-old production facility and taproom in Riverdale Park." - Tierney Plumb
