Cheers & Checkerspots @ Checkerspot Brewery

B’More Brew’d CONNECT events are welcoming, lightly structured community gatherings designed to help people meet new faces, strengthen existing relationships, and feel a little more at home.

Checkerspot Brewing is one of Baltimore's beloved neighborhood taprooms, tucked just south of the stadiums in the heart of the city. Named after the Baltimore Checkerspot, Maryland's state butterfly, Checkerspot Brewing is a fitting backdrop for a night all about emerging, mingling, and finding your people.
