Welcome to Sign of the Horse

What is in a name? We chose the name of our brewery based on our desire to celebrate our great community. We believe that we can provide a comfortable environment for the community to visit and drink a quality hand crafted beer and catch up with friends and neighbors. To honor the great history of Hanover, we have chosen the name "Sign of the Horse".

To honor the great history of Hanover, we have chosen the name "Sign of the Horse". Sign of the Horse was one of the first taverns in Hanover in the late 1700's. Thomas Jefferson stopped at the tavern on his way to draft the Declaration of Independence (seemed pretty important). George Washington has also made a visit to The Sign of the Horse tavern.

Matt Moore

Matt Moore comes to Sign of the Horse Brewery from Timonium, MD. He has been a prolific homebrewer for the past 25 years. An IPA lover and hophead; his hop obsession spread to his home as he even grew and harvested his own hops. Over the years his ales have been appreciated by friends and family as he provided kegs for a variety of parties and celebrations, or even to address the crisis of a friends’ empty kegerator.

At Sign of the Horse Brewpub Matt hopes to continue to guide the uninitiated into the world of craft beer by brewing drinkable session ales and hop forward IPA’s.
