Baltimore Craft Beer Festival 2024


On November 2nd I attended the Baltimore Craft Beer Festival with my girlfriend Melissa. We got in free because two weeks earlier, on October 19th, I helped judge the Maryland Craft Beer Competition, where we determined the winners in each category, and as a thank-you, they gave each judge two VIP passes.

In previous years this event had been held at Canton Waterfront Park. This year it was held at West Covington Park, which is located within Baltimore Peninsula. As the previous year, there were more than 50 Maryland breweries . Here is what I sampled:
