This year, we’re moving to an exciting new venue on the Baltimore Peninsula! Located conveniently off I-95, the new location promises an easier and more cohesive festival experience. With plenty of ride-share access and parking passes available as an add-on, getting to and from the event couldn’t be simpler.

A brand-new feature this year is the Winners Circle, showcasing the gold-medal-winning breweries from the Maryland Craft Beer Competition (held on October 19th). This exclusive section will gather the best of the best in one place, allowing you to taste the finest beers in Maryland. Additionally, signage throughout the festival will highlight where to find and sample Silver, Bronze, and Honorable Mention winners.

Best of Show – Live Judging in the Winners Circle
Don’t miss the excitement in the Winners Circle where a panel of top-tier beer judges will taste and score all the gold-medal-winning beers. Watch as they crown the Best of Show winner for 2024, adding a competitive edge to the celebration.

We’ve lined up three incredible bands to keep the festival buzzing:

The Upstarters
Megan Jean’s Secret Family Band
Honest Lee Soul

Pair your beer with delicious eats from thoughtfully curated food trucks, and shop from local vendors who offer unique goods that add to the festival experience.

New Layout, Enhanced Experience
We’re debuting a new festival layout to make it even easier to navigate. Brewery tents will be arranged to improve flow, and visible signage will help you see what each brewery is pouring before you reach their tent, streamlining your experience.

Commemorating Brewery Journeys
In an effort to tell the stories behind our breweries, we’ll be commemorating each brewery’s time in the industry. From new players yet to open their doors to long-standing fixtures of Maryland’s brewing scene, you’ll see how they’ve contributed to the state’s community, economy, and quality of life.

Inclusivity & Non-Alcoholic Options
We’re proud to make this year’s festival more inclusive by offering non-alcoholic options for those choosing not to imbibe. Whether you’re looking for a delicious mocktail or want to explore Maryland’s expanding non-alcoholic scene, we have something for everyone.
