Thanks for picking up a copy of the third edition of the
Maryland Brew Pub
. The industry is growing, and we’re thrilled
to share more great news about our brewing community.
The Brewers Association of Maryland represents over 50
distilleries in Maryland and is assisting many startups
through the licensing process. It’s a vibrant group that meets
regularly to discuss laws, regulations, agriculture and more.
We also gather breweries together for unique
events that highlight the industry.
The Maryland Craft Beer Festival is one of our benchmark
events. It will be held Saturday, May 14 in Frederick at Carroll
Creek Park. The event sells out and hosts over 30 breweries—
including some not yet open to the public. It’s a great venue
for sipping through new brews to find your next favorite.
And be sure to join us for our premier fall event on
Saturday, October 22 at the Canton Waterfront in
Baltimore for our Baltimore Craft Beer Festival. Check
Marylandbeer.orgfor more details about the event.
In this issue, you’ll find a highlight of our farm breweries,
including our newest farm brewery: Waredaca. We also
highlight beer made from local ingredients, our hops
growers and David Myers from UMD Extension.
We look forward to fostering the Maryland
Craft Beer industry with your support.
Cheers,
Kevin Atticks
Executive Director
Brewers Association of Maryland
