With plenty of ride-share access and VIP parking passes available as an add-on for Beer Geek Pass holders, getting to and from the event couldn’t be simpler.

A brand-new feature the Baltimore Craft Beer Festival this year is the Gold Medal 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.
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.

Inclusivity & Non-Alcoholic OptionsWe’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.
