BabyCat Brewery and More Great Events

The DC Beer Show

We have a jam-packed episode of The DC Beer Show, the podcast where we dive deep into the world of craft beer in the nation's capital. Our hosts, Michael Stein, Brandy Holder, Jacob Berg, and Jordan Harvey, cover a few key events and recap Snallygaster.

First, Jordan sat down with the owners and head brewer of BabyCat Brewery in Kensington, Maryland. Terry Redmond and Sam Mussomeli talk about their vision for the hyper-local brewery in a town that was, until recently, dry. Head brewer Phil Zanello explains how he wanted to make beers from a fresh perspective, focusing more on beers that people love to try.

BabyCat will celebrate its first anniversary and its first annual Halloween Party on October 28. It's Sam’s favorite holiday, and there will be live music, food tents, costumes, and prizes. Admission is free, and no ticket is required. BabyCatBrewery.com for more.

The teams out a few other key events, and Jim Bauckman of Grow and Fortify joins them to give you the scoop on the Baltimore Craft Beer Festival, November 4th, from 12-5. This annual celebration of Maryland’s growing craft brewing industry showcases more than five dozen local breweries and their excellent portfolios of ales, lagers, ciders, and meads.
