REVIVE! A Celebration of Maryland’s Award-Winning Beer and Cuisine
Celebrate award winning Maryland craft beer, paired with amazing chefs and their dishes from around the state on the beautiful, yet rarely seen, grounds of The Shine of St Anthony in Ellicott City. Can you think of a better way to spend a summer evening in Maryland then with gourmet food & beer, in a spectacular setting, all while taking in the melodic bluegrass melodies from the Plate Scrapers? We can’t!
REVIVE! pairs Maryland’s award-winning beer with medal-worthy restaurants and chefs from the Free State. Taste the gold medal beers from the 2017 Maryland Craft Beer Competition and hear the announcement of the 2018 competition winners! This event will be held at the Shrine of St. Anthony in Ellicott City, a spectacular late-Italian Renaissance building situated on 310 acres of rolling hills and woodlands located in the heart of the Baltimore Washington area.
With nearly 100 operating breweries and more than 25 breweries-in-planning, Maryland’s craft beer industry is comprised primarily of locally-owned businesses. These businesses directly contribute to the state’s economy through job growth and a commitment to Maryland agriculture. In an effort to help support a community struggling from the devastation of recent floods, the Brewers Association of Maryland is contributing a portion of the proceeds from revive! to the Ellicott City Partnership.
Each year the Brewers Association of Maryland’s members compete in the Maryland Craft Beer Festival with hopes to take home the much-coveted Comptroller’s Cup. These breweries haven’t been formally celebrated for their success in this competition… until now!

Brewing & Fermentation Quality Track

10:30 – Sensory Methods and EvaluationThis seminar is an introduction for breweries considering adding, or explanding, their sensory programs.
11:15 – Reliable Fermentations, Knowing the Future, Jasper Akerboom, PhD (Jasper Yeast)

Yeast is often seen as a “black box” ingredient turning your sugary wort into the beer that everyone craves, but no one understands. It is a living organism, in a symbiotic relationship with you as a brewer. It receives sugars and nutrients, and delivers alcohol, CO2 and aroma/flavor to you in return. It has needs, demands, can be temperamental and uncooperative, but it can perform an incredible biological feat and produce truly wonderful beer. It’s your most important employee, and it needs to be treated as such.Here we will discuss how to understand yeast better, to get reliable fermentations, and to reduce the one thing a brewer does not want to get, which is surprises.
12:15 – Lunch
13:15 – Emerging Brewing Techniques, Michael Tonsmeire (Mad Fermentationist/Sapwood Cellars)Join the Mad Fermentationist for a conversation about emerging brewing and fermentation techniques.

Is it the way their product looks, behaves, tastes, is it the way they carry themselves, the cause they’ve taken on, how they connect with you on some personal level? All of the above?
