14th Annual Homebrew Extravaganza 10/16 6-9pm

Welcome to Checkerspot Brewing!

Come see the new space at 1421 Ridgely St.

Why the Checkerspot name?

Fun Fact: The Baltimore Checkerspot butterfly is Maryland's state butterfly.

Our namesake embodies our belief that without an appreciation of nature, and local, quality ingredients... great beer cannot exist.

We’re proud to bring you an array of small-batch, thoughtfully crafted GLUTEN REDUCED beers–inspired by nature, but served right here in Baltimore-the city we love. There’s something for everyone here!

Beer & Ballet

Wednesday, October 30th
7-8PM

The classic Beer and Ballet class is the perfect first impression of our community. Grab your brew and your spot at the bar(re) to participate in an introduction-intermediate level contemporary ballet class. Whether you're a seasoned dancer looking to refine your ballet technique or someone seeking a new and exciting way to stay active, this is a perfect way to move your body and sing along to your favorite 80’s, 90’s, and 00’s hits!

What to wear: We suggest wearing ballet shoes or socks with a little bit of grip to them. Socks with sticky dots (what is used in Pilates) are not recommended. It’s important to remember most breweries do not have sprung floor, but rather cement, tile, or wood floors. If you would prefer to wear tennis shoes for foot support, you are more than welcome.

What to expect:

  • Accessible yet challenging exercises
  • Partnerwork
  • Group Work
  • Movements that travel throughout the space
  • Pliés, Tendus, Shimmys, and Zuzwas… You’ll see what we mean.
