Brewed in collaboration with beer historian, Maureen O'Prey (@brewinginbaltimore). Thomas Murphy Dukehart was an Irish-German immigrant who ran the Dukehart Brewery in Baltimore starting in the 1870’s. This porter incorporates all of his heritage, as a popular Irish style, fermented cooler in the German style and including molasses, an American touch.

Dukehart was a student at the prestigious Milton Academy in Baltimore (now the famous Milton Inn restaurant owned by Cindy Wolf.) He was a commissioned officer in the Navy during the Civil War. He earned a Citation for Valor aboard the Katahdin while fighting for the North against his brother John Murphy who fought for the confederacy.

After the war he was a commodore at the US Naval Academy, after which he started brewing. He lost ownership of the brewery in the early 1900’s and died soon after as an employee at his own brewery, but he’s Still a Hero.

Do you wish you could have more of the kinds of conversations you have late at night where for some reason, you feel safe talking about the things you actually care about?

Bring your friends (or come by yourself) and spend your Wednesday night at an event where you know everyone else is there for the same reason.

We'll be offering "big talk" conversational prompts on them to get you started, and we'll have lots of structure to make sure that you actually talk to people and that it's not awkward. Not feeling like answering a particular question? No worries, we'll have plenty to choose from, like, "When are you the happiest?" and, "If you were going to become close friends with me, what would I need to know about you?" We'll give you ground rules to make sure you feel comfortable and safe sharing as much of yourself as possible while still feeling in complete control of how much you divulge.
