What we’re about
Welcome! This group is dedicated to building connection and community through Baltimore’s vibrant craft beer and spirits landscape. Part of our purpose in this group is to create more connection - a space where people feel seen, welcome, and part of something real.
We organize regular outings to some of the best breweries, distilleries, and taprooms in Baltimore and surrounding areas. Along the way, we’ll support local businesses, share stories, and enjoy great company.
Come for the drinks, stay for the community! Cheers!!
Resources
For additional resources and more history on where we've been, the local brewery scene, and more, I've posted them to my personal page on Notion as a guide.
Untappd
We use Untappd as our social platform to connect and share our experiences on the craft side of the house.
Audience
Our group is typically geared toward people in the 20s to 40s as conversations and experiences tend to orient toward that stage of life. That doesn’t mean others aren’t welcome! If you’re outside that range and comfortable in that group dynamic, by all means come join!
