Maryland Beer Journal
Maryland Beer: People & Places
Maryland Beer Journal & Atlas (MBJA) — We tell the stories of the beer, the people, and the places that make Maryland beer unique. Maryland traverses a diverse landscape, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Appalachian Mountains, including Baltimore, the Chesapeake Bay, historic small towns, and all points in between. And the beer is as diverse as the landscapes.
Frederick Beer: Hyper Local
Frederick MD is a small city by many standards. I spend a day there looking for a walkable Frederick beer experience and to learn what elements have aligned that allowed Frederick to blossom into a growing craft beer destination.
Baltimore Craft Beer Fest 2019
The Baltimore Craft Beer Festival (BCBF) is a premier showcase for Maryland breweries. If you want the breath of what Maryland breweries are producing, this is the one event to attend each year.
7 Locks Brewing
In October 2019, I sat down with Michael Linzmeyer, head Brewer of 7 Locks Brewing in Rockville, MD, to learn about their brewery and beer.
Joy Hound Beer Company: A Step of Faith
If you are a start-up brewery, a huge step of faith and confidence may be pouring your beer at the Baltimore Craft Beer Festival. This year, there were four breweries that did just that. One of those was Joy Hound Beer Company.
1623 Brewing: A Brewery in the Making
Zac Rissmiller is very confident in his ability to make great beer. And, he is one honest and laid back guy. The first is the product from his ten years of brewing experience. The second is most likely from his living in Colorado.
Cult Classic Brewing: Kent Island
Cult Classic Brewing (CC) is one of the newer Maryland breweries, opening in August 2018, and the only one on Kent Island. Barely a diversion from Westbound Rt 50, CC offers easy-off and easy-on access with plenty of parking.
Bull & Goat Brewing: Catching Up
Almost three years ago I attended the grand opening for Bull & Goat Brewing in Centreville MD. At that time to say it was a hole in the wall was not far off. Things have changed since then.
