Brewery/cafe getting ready to open in Timonium

A new combination brewery and cafe/roastery is about to open near the State Fairgrounds in Timonium. It's the brainchild of Baltimore's Diamondback Brewing Co., and Towson's Aveley Farms Coffee - and it's expected to open within the next few weeks. They are teaming up to open a whole new business at 9490 Deereco Road, in an office park between I-83 and the light-rail tracks.

This will be the second location for both Diamondback and Aveley Farms. Diamondback Brewing, which is currently in South Baltimore's Locust Point, is scheduled for a liquor-license hearing in Baltimore County on Monday. Aveley Farms opened nearly two years ago in downtown Towson and has proved to be a popular destination on Chesapeake Avenue.

The new facility is set to be a 3,000-square-foot indoor taproom and dog-friendly outdoor beer garden that will feature seasonally-rotating pizzas, along with a full espresso bar service, light pastries, and breakfast items. The hours are listed as 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday- Thursday, 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays, noon to 10 p.m. Saturdays, and noon to 8 p.m. Sundays.
