A little while ago, we introduced you to Lone Oak Brewery located in Olney off of Olney Laytonsville Rd. We went back again today to check out their progress and we were shown around by founders Chris and Charlie Miller, who both graduated from Magruder High School and partnered with Ralph and Ryan Mollet of Gaithersburg to bring you the brewery.

As of right now, they estimate a mid April opening. Lone Oak emphasizes local resources— they plan to grow some of their own ingredients including blueberries, blackberries, and possible pumpkins. They also plan to keep their own bees for honey, and they have even included wood from local trees into their buildings.

We stopped by Gentleman Jim’s to clear up a few rumors that were swirling a couple months back.

Due to a “for sale/lease” sign on a nearby building, a couple folks reached out to ask us if Gentleman Jim’s would be affected. We were told it would not and that the restaurant is doing better than ever.
