Thanks for picking up a copy of the fourth edition of the
Maryland Brew
Pub
. Our industry continues to grow in strength, and we are delighted
to share more news and stories from our brewing community.
The Brewers Association of Maryland represents over 60 breweries in Maryland
and is assisting many start-ups through the licensing process. It’s a vibrant
group that meets regularly to discuss laws, regulations, agriculture and more.
We also gather breweries together throughout the year for
unique events that promote and highlight the industry.
The second annual FeBREWary: Maryland Craft Beer Lovers Month was
a huge success! The month-long celebration was kicked off with a toast
by Governor Hogan on February 3rd at Chesapeake Brewing Company
in Annapolis. The month consisted of a number of different events
across the state, celebrating the craft brewing industry in Maryland.
My personal highlight of the festivities was tasting all of the specially
brewed “Cupid’s Curse” beers. We hope this festival continues to grow,
and I am very much looking forward to doing it all again next year!
This year we launched the signature event of FeBREWary, Love Thy
Beer, in Silver Spring. This event gave guests an opportunity to chat
with brewers and owners of local breweries in an intimate setting over
seasonal ales. It was a great event for any craft beer enthusiast!
In this issue we are focusing on some summer beers and are
highlighting our wonderful Southern Maryland Breweries.
We look forward to fostering the Maryland Craft
Beer Industry with your support.
Cheers,
Kevin Atticks
Executive Director
Brewers Association of Maryland
