Located At Baltimore Highlands several miles east of the Downtown, Monument City is based in a very atmospheric old warehouse building, next door to an axe factory! Access to the taproom is at the back of the building, which required a detour around several other warehouse buildings, which confused my Uber driver.
On the plus side, this gives them plenty of space to expand the brewing capacity in future years, and also allows room for a huge taproom area, including a table tennis table. On the downside, the building has no air-conditioning, and is so large that it probably never will have, as the cost would be prohibitive.
The upshot is that the taproom was uncomfortably hot on this July afternoon, and would very likely be rather cold in the winter months.
The beer choice was good, and I ordered a free-choice tasting flight.
In addition to the indoor seating there is a large outdoor patio area, with some tables protected from the sun.
This is a nice taproom, but I am somewhat concerned that their relatively remote location, combined with they lack of temperature control in the building, will cause them some challenges in the future.
