“We’re all acutely aware that the brewing industry faces a lack of diversity in business operators and consumers and are excited about any opportunity to elevate these young businesses.” “Since we celebrate both Black heritage and craft beer in February, we’re compelled to share the story of Black-owned small businesses and their contributions to Maryland beer,” says Jim Bauckman of the Brewers Association of Maryland. To date, five percent of Maryland’s breweries or craft beer brands are identified as being Black-owned. In an industry underrepresented by minority business owners, the number of Black-owned breweries in Maryland eclipses national figures. Enthusiasts are invited to join local brewery representatives from 2-4 pm for a kickoff happy hour featuring releases from Maryland’s Black-owned breweries and beer brands. Kick Off FeBREWary With Maryland’s Black-Owned BreweriesįeBREWary commences on Wednesday, February 1 at Charles County’s Patuxent Brewing Company.

“Some great consumer events are happening and there is always great Maryland beer to enjoy.” “We always look forward to Craft Beer Lovers Month,” says Brett Snyder, President of the Brewers Association of Maryland and co-founder of Waredaca Brewing Co. Whether you’ve got a favorite seat at a community tasting room or like to pick up Maryland-made beer at a local retailer, FeBREWary is your time to celebrate all things Maryland beer.
