This August, Spirited History events return with three events that pair Maryland history with some of the state’s breweries, wineries, and distilleries. Made possible in part through a grant from the Maryland Department of Commerce’s Maryland Alcohol Manufacturing Promotion Fund, this series explores how alcohol production and agriculture have shaped Maryland’s past while highlighting the innovative makers carrying those traditions forward today.
Each event features an engaging history presentation, a complimentary drink ticket, and light fare.
