BARCStoberfest Can Art Raffle 7/21-7/31

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!

The first Schwingo and others since have taken place in our gallery there, but as the event has grown, we've taken the spirit of Schwingo on the road to other spots in Baltimore!
