History of Neighborhood Corner Bars Explored in New Exhibition
at Baltimore Museum of Industry

Baltimore, Maryland — The Baltimore Museum of Industry (BMI) will open a new exhibition on Thursday, October 12, 2023 exploring the role of corner bars in Baltimore neighborhoods. Titled The Neighborhood Corner Bar: A Baltimore Story, 1870-1920, the exhibition will be permanent.

From the 1870s to 1920, corner bars–or saloons–became fixtures in working-class neighborhoods throughout Baltimore. Made possible by the direct sponsorship of breweries, corner bars were social centers where patrons could grab a “free lunch” with the purchase of a five-cent drink, discuss politics and labor organizing, send and receive mail, cash paychecks, and even find jobs or financial assistance. Warm in winter and cool in summer, these “workingman’s clubs,” as they were known, provided community and security for the regulars who made them their own.

As social institutions, corner bars reflected the segregated and exclusionary practices of their time and place. For one, they were almost exclusively male. Working women could partake in free lunch–provided they entered the side door, or the “ladies entrance” and ate in the back room. In the evenings, working-class women would get their beer to go, a practice called “rushing the growler,” and would then partake with neighbor women on stoops in courtyards where they could keep a watchful eye on children playing. Black patrons could not enter the saloons through any door in white or white ethnic neighborhoods for fear of rejection or outright violence for attempting to cross the color line in segregated Baltimore.

“The corner bar was a microcosm of the neighborhood it served, reflecting the heritage and values of the nearby residents–even their views on political and social issues” says Rachel Donaldson, curator of exhibitions and collections at the BMI. “George Ruth, father of George Herman “Babe” Ruth, displayed his views on the labor movement by hanging a “Union Bar” sign over the entrance to his saloon. Beyond just watering holes, corner bars were spaces for discussion among patrons, becoming vital community centers in the neighborhoods.”

Like other galleries at the BMI, The Neighborhood Corner Bar exhibition is immersive. The exhibition features a long wooden bar with a brass rail and a mirrored cabinet in the rear, both flanked by historic beer advertisements, sample menus, and photographs–many of them donated by local family members of past bar owners during community collecting events held around the city.

This project has been financed in part with State Funds from the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority, an instrumentality of the State of Maryland, and Maryland State Department of Commerce. The opening reception is made possible by PNC Bank.

Breweries, Retailers and Consumers Prepare For Maryland Craft Beer Lovers Month

(ANNAPOLIS, MD) – Belly up – this February marks another celebration of Maryland Craft Beer Lovers Month. Known locally as “FeBREWary,” this monthlong recognition of craft beer highlights the local beer industry. Whether you’ve got a favorite seat at a community tasting room or like to pick up Maryland-made beer at a local retailer, FeBREWary is your time to celebrate all things Maryland beer.

“We always look forward to Craft Beer Lovers Month,” says Brett Snyder, President of the Brewers Association of Maryland and co-founder of Waredaca Brewing Co. “Some great consumer events are happening and there is always great Maryland beer to enjoy.”

Kick Off FeBREWary With Maryland’s Black-Owned Breweries

FeBREWary commences on Wednesday, February 1 at Charles County’s Patuxent Brewing Company. Enthusiasts are invited to join local brewery representatives from 2-4 pm for a kickoff happy hour featuring releases from Maryland’s Black-owned breweries and beer brands. In an industry underrepresented by minority business owners, the number of Black-owned breweries in Maryland eclipses national figures. To date, five percent of Maryland’s breweries or craft beer brands are identified as being Black-owned.

“Since we celebrate both Black heritage and craft beer in February, we’re compelled to share the story of Black-owned small businesses and their contributions to Maryland beer,” says Jim Bauckman of the Brewers Association of Maryland. “We’re all acutely aware that the brewing industry faces a lack of diversity in business operators and consumers and are excited about any opportunity to elevate these young businesses.”

Patuxent Brewing Co. has a great beer lineup for this celebration and will feature representatives from Black Beauty Brewing Company (Prince George’s County), Black Viking

Brewing (Montgomery County), Joyhound Beer Company (Baltimore), Liquid Intrusion Brewing Company (Prince George’s County) and the nationwide Black Brew Movement.

“Kevin, Gene and I are excited to host this year’s kickoff,” says Davie Feaster, founder of Patuxent Brewing Co. “As Maryland’s first 100% Black-owned brewery, Patuxent Brewing Co. has been at the forefront of diversifying the local craft beer industry. Together with the Patuxent team, I am excited about the explosion of Black-owned breweries and brands in the last few years. We have always said that we didn’t desire to be the first and last – our doors have remained open to welcome and educate other Black brewers and brewery operators.”

Love Thy Beer & More FeBREWary Activities

Each FeBREWary the Brewers Association of Maryland invites consumers to “Love Thy Beer,” a craft beer tasting event showcasing beer styles brewed for winter sipping. More than two dozen local breweries will present their offerings from 6:00-10:00 pm at the Silver Spring Civic Building on Friday, February 10.

Breweries participating at Love Thy Beer share samples of their entry into the “Cupid’s Curse” competition and a winning beer is selected by voting attendees. Justin Trawick and the Common Good will perform live at the event. Tickets are currently on sale via Eventbrite.

This February, consumers are invited to visit Harford County breweries and enjoy “Come See Me About My Pale Ale.” This collaborative recipe will be produced at each participating brewery and coincides with the countywide recognition of its 250th Anniversary. Double Groove Brewing Company in Forest Hill will be the first to tap this release Thursday, February 9, 2023. More details about this project will be available on the Visit Harford and BAM websites.

“LIFTING LUCY”: INCREASING BIWOC BREWING INDUSTRY EXPERIENCES 

When Ashlie Randolph of Mo’ Betta Brews reconnected with her former Barley’s Angels LV member turned infamous brewmaster Sarah Perez (Bleeding Hearts Brewery, Alaska), and later down the line Tranice Watts (Patuxent Brewing, Maryland), she knew they’d be best brew buds forever. Through their love of beer and shared experiences, they formed a tight bond that is not unique within members of underrepresented people within craft beer communities searching for guidance, support, and simply put, love and appreciation. Even though these three women were thousands of miles apart – they also had one more thing in common – the determination to ensure they would be able to present their approved 2021 Craft Brewers Conference (CBC) panel discussions…no matter what they needed to do to make it happen. 

As Ashlie, Sarah and Tranice began to plan for their pilgrimage to CBC and pull resources to ensure their attendance, they also began daily chats about their fears of other BIWOC experts not being able to participate at major brew conferences and events. Enter “Lifting Lucy: A Promise to support BIWOC in Beer”, a campaign that kicks off today to assist BIWOC women in offsetting expenses associated with attending and presenting at the 2021 CBC in Denver, CO this fall, and other future cornerstone industry events. The brew loving trio believes costs and travel expenses associated with BIWOC experts applying to and accepting invitations to present at industry conferences, can deter those who have priceless firsthand knowledge, constructive strategies to take on industry-wide areas for growth, and inspirational narratives.

“An invitation to present at CBC is an opportunity for BIWOC to share our experiences in the craft brewing community alongside our peers. Opportunities such as these pave the way for once-in-a-lifetime education, collaborations, and fellowship,” said Ashlie Randolph. “We are determined to help curb the barriers that keep us all from learning from these most worthy educators, which ultimately diminishes how much we can truly learn from these events,” added Tranice.

They currently have merchandise available here which proudly displays their symbol of the promise they’ve sworn with each other and the greater BIWOC community (such as Beer Is For Everyone). “It is our heart’s desire to lower that bar of entry, even just a little bit, for other women of color who have a love for craft beer and are making a mark within our community,” stated Sarah Perez.

Maryland Brewers & Distillers Cheer Governor Hogan’s Order Authorizing Direct Shipping 

(ANNAPOLIS, MD)–The Brewers Association of Maryland, Maryland Distillers Guild, and Maryland Wineries Association thank Governor Hogan for authorizing direct-to-consumer shipments of Maryland beer and spirits.  

“In these times of fast-changing consumer preferences, this authorization allows members ultimate flexibility when marketing and selling their products,” said Sarah Healey, president of the Brewers Association of Maryland, and manager of Milkhouse Brewery in Mt. Airy. 

Since the crisis began, the primary sales channels for brewers, distillers, and wineries (on-site visits and wholesale) have largely dried up. Curbside and delivery were brand-new sales channels but were limited by a customer’s proximity to the producer. Wineries had a tool giving them an advantage over breweries and distillers: direct shipping. 

Jaime Windon, president of the Maryland Distillers Guild and producer of Lyon Rum in St. Michaels, has heard the value of shipping from her peers nationwide but has also felt it from her customers. “Demand for shipment has been intense, and this order allows the industry to be nimble and meet the market where it has evolved,” said Windon. “This is a new lifeline for sales.” 

Maryland residents are utilizing home delivery and shipping services more than ever during this time. Neighboring states have proven that this serves to satisfy consumer demand while being regulated to ensure compliance with all alcohol service and delivery rules.  

Judy Crow, co-owner of Crow Vineyards in Kennedyville and president of the Maryland Wineries Association, noted that wineries have been shipping since 2011. “The industry supports this announcement and is grateful for Governor Hogan’s thoughtful and steady leadership to support the craft alcohol industry,” said Crow. 

The state’s alcohol producer industry supports over 29,5000 jobs, and over $3.5 billion in economic activity annually, according to an economic study on Value-Added Agriculture by Grow & Fortify and BEACON. The Governor’s announcement directly impacts the supply-chain of Maryland grown and processed raw materials that are used in the production of craft beer, wine, and spirits. 

On behalf of the entire alcohol producer industry, we thank Governor Hogan, Lt. Governor Rutherford, and Sec. of Commerce Schulz for their continued guidance, support, and fact-based leadership throughout this period of uncertainty. 

About Grow & Fortify 

Grow & Fortify is built to support value-added agricultural organizations and the businesses they represent. We’ve gathered a team of professionals to support agricultural startups and ensure the financial viability of our land, and ultimately, our community. Our mission is cultivating an environment where value-added agricultural producers, startups, operators, and growers innovate and thrive. We grow the organizations & businesses that fortify Maryland’s agricultural heritage. Grow & Fortify is currently contracted to manage the Brewers Association of Maryland, the Maryland Distillers Guild, and the Maryland Wineries Association.
