Franklins (Craft Beer & Brewery in Hyattsville MD)

Franklins Brewery in Hyattsville, Maryland, proudly wears the badge of Prince George’s County’s first microbrewery and, astonishingly, the only place on Earth that fuses a restaurant, a brewery, and a toy store under one roof. Since 2002 it has been churning out small‑batch brews on‑premise, with a rotating roster of 18 taps that spans a crisp American Blonde, a barrell‑aged Barley Wine, a house‑made caffeine‑free root beer, a bold Quadruple and a mischievously tart Sour Brown. Every pint is a nod to local farmers and artists, and the beer garden—dubbed the Quarantiki Room—offers a sunny stage for the drinks to perform.

The menu, now bristling with variety, serves dishes built from local ingredients; the onion rings have become something of a legend, and portions are generous without emptying the wallet. Families are welcome to wander the kinetic light mural, fill growlers, or excavate the giant sandbox (the founders had a thing for toys). The on‑site general store adds a quirky shopping experience, while the house‑made root beer proves that you don’t need caffeine to feel awake. In short, Franklins delivers top‑notch craftsmanship with a cheeky grin, proving that serious brewing can still be a barrel of fun.
