Today is the first day of the 2021 Build Your Own Maryland Craft Beer Festival!
While there is no substitute for tasting delicious beer with thousands of your closest friends in beer, this year’s celebration still gives us an opportunity to support our state’s breweries!
Visit that taproom or farm brewery that’s been on your “to-do” list for a while. Swing through your favorite local retailer and buy a few new can drops from Maryland breweries. Order beer for delivery or curbside pickup from the brewery around the corner. Start a Maryland beer journey and celebrate this great industry throughout the week.
