Calvert Beer

Written By Jack Perdue

Calvert Beer Co. is the successor to the original Calvert Brewing Company of Maryland. The original Calvert Brewing, founded in 2014 and known as Maryland’s first designated farm brewery, closed its Upper Marlboro location in early 2024 due to rent increases and business challenges. The new Calvert Beer Co., operated by a mother-daughter team, acquired the original company’s recipes and labels and currently contracts brewing to keep the brand alive. They continue to produce popular Maryland-style beers like 7th State Lager and Route 4 IPA, maintaining local flavor despite no longer having their own brewing facility.

Maryland Beer Journal & Atlas (MBJA) was established to celebrate and promote Maryland beer — the beer, the people, and the places. I began writing about my beer experiences through the Deep Beer Journal (DBJ) in February 2013. Currently, I am a first-level Cicerone, studying to advance my certification. I am a member of the North American Guild of Beer Writers. Since 2019, I have been the Maryland columnist for the Mid-Atlantic Brew News.
