Brewers Association of Maryland

The Brewers Association of Maryland (BAM), founded in 1999, is the non-profit trade association of Maryland brewing companies. The mission of BAM is to grow, promote, and protect the Maryland craft beer industry. BAM organizes two major annual events: the Maryland Craft Beer Festival in Frederick and the Baltimore Craft Beer Festival in Baltimore. These events directly support BAM's mission and showcase the vibrant craft beer scene in Maryland. BAM also provides resources and advocacy for its members, which include breweries across the state. The association plays a crucial role in fostering collaboration among brewers and promoting the craft beer industry to consumers and policymakers.
