MOUNT AIRY, Md. — What sounded like an explosion, turned into flames burning down Red Shedman Farm Brewery in Mount Airy. It happened overnight Thursday, luckily while nobody was inside. By the time Melissa Aellen arrived with her uncle, who co-owns the brewery, the taproom was destroyed.

An explosion and massive fire destroyed a brewery building early Thursday in Mount Airy. A deck and a portion of a wall were the only things still standing by the afternoon at the family-owned Red Shedman Farm Brewery in the 13000 block of Glissans Mill Road.
