Three generations, two families, the friends from college and the friends from work, all in one room and most of them meeting for the first time. The shower is where everybody gets to know each other before the wedding.
It goes better somewhere relaxed, with a drink in hand and room to move between the tables. That is the room we have, in a working brewery in South Baltimore.
A room that takes a theme
The mezzanine is semi-private, overlooking the taproom, and easy to decorate: florals, a dessert table, a gift table, a banner over all of it. You get an hour beforehand to set up before the first aunt arrives early.
Not only beer
Our beer is brewed on site, but it is far from the only thing to drink. Wine and seltzer, and a proper non-alcoholic list: soda, root beer, non-alcoholic beer.
Food, cake, and the rest
Order from our kitchen, bring your own caterer, or do a bit of both. Bring the cake and the cookies with the monogram on them. Your playlist on the speakers.
For the whole wedding
Plenty of couples come back to us for the rest of it: the rehearsal dinner, a brunch the morning after, or the reception itself with the whole building.
When to book
Spring and summer Saturdays go first, as they do for everything wedding-shaped. Once the wedding date is set, the shower date usually follows it, and that is the moment to get in touch.
A look at the room
Before you get in touch
- How many guests can you hold?
- Twenty to a hundred and fifty in the semi-private mezzanine, with reserved tables in the taproom for a smaller group.
- Can we decorate?
- Yes. Bring your own decorations and make the room yours. Every booking includes an hour beforehand to set up.
- What about guests who don't drink beer?
- There is wine and seltzer, plus soda, root beer, non-alcoholic beer and water, so nobody is stuck with a glass of tap water and a polite smile.
- Can we bring our own cake?
- Yes. Cakes and desserts are always welcome.
- Can we bring our own food?
- Yes. Order from our kitchen, bring your own caterer, or mix the two. Your menu or ours.
- Is there parking?
- Plenty, and it is free: a lot at the brewery, plus street parking all around it.
- How will guests find us?
- We put up signs to point your guests the right way, and someone meets you when you arrive.
