Friday, February 28, 2025 | 5PM – 10PM — Liquid Courage at the Baltimore Museum of Industry celebrated cocktailing and distilling history across Maryland with an evening of workshops, tastings, dancing, and community engagement. Inspired by our Neighborhood Corner Bar Exhibit, our teams sought to build a space reminiscent of the longest lasting third space where communities could connect and nourish each other through food, drink, and conversation.

This event was not only for industry insiders, but for everyone who loves a good drink and a good time. We’d like to thank our key event sponsors and partners; The Maryland Distillers Guild, Baltimore Spirits Company, and the Baltimore Bartenders Guild.

With special thanks to our incredible workshop leaders;

Brendan Dorr, Dutch Courage — Maryland Classics: A Brief History of Maryland’s Cocktails
