There is plenty to do in Howard County in the coming week, from celebrating Valentine’s Day early to watching the big game Sunday with endless food. Manor Hill also is releasing a brand new brew Friday.

These events and more are happening in the county for the week ending Feb. 12.

Get ready to pucker up this Friday afternoon at Manor Hill Brewing.

The Ellicott City farm brewery is rereleasing an old-time crowd favorite tart brew. Hayes Creek is a tart blonde ale with tangerine. It’s brewed with sweet orange peels and tangerine, bringing in aromas of fresh cut citrus.

Hayes Creek, the brewery says, “is best enjoyed directly out of a can among friends and sunshine!”

Children can explore artifacts Saturday in the Ellicott Mills Children’s Museum, on Park Avenue, near the old courthouse.
