South House Garden is Coming to Olde Towne Gaithersburg.

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.

Soon it will be even easier for AstraZeneca employees to head over to the Kentlands for lunch or dinner, as design of a new pedestrian bridge is expected to begin next month.
Per the City of Gaithersburg:
Back in November we reported that Olney Crab House was coming soon to the location that used to be home to The Olney Tavern (18200 Georgia Avenue).
Since then, we’ve received many questions regarding the location since “for lease” signs were placed back on the building.
