Scorpion Brewing Co. opened on October 11th 2014.

We chose the name "Scorpion" as a tribute to the Chesapeake Bay Flotilla that boldly fought the British in the Chesapeake Bay and tributaries during the War of 1812. The "Scorpion" was the flagship of the flotilla and was scuttled on August 24, 1814 in the Patuxent River to prevent its capture and use by the British. The "Scorpion" was a 49-foot sloop rigged with optional oar power, floating battery, two long guns and two carronades (cannons).
