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!

Save The Bats Beer Release

Save The Bats Beer Release
Sunday, March 24th
1-4 PM

The Eastern small-footed bat is one of the tiniest and rarest bats in Maryland, weighing only about as much as a nickel.  These flying mammals hang out in rock crevices and caves, eating large numbers of insects; their pest control services save billions of dollars every year in the U.S.

MD Biodiversity Project is a non-profit focused on cataloging all the wild things in Maryland, mapping them at a fine scale and permanently archiving the records and associated media. They then put that data to use for maximum benefit, supporting science, conservation, and education. They work closely with us at DNR as well as numerous other conservation partner groups.

This collaboration is to bring education and awareness to rare, threatened, endangered wildlife.

Flight Night

Wednesday, March 27th
6-7PM

Participate in our monthly Flight Night to enjoy six 8oz pours of our gluten-reduced craft beers served to you by owner and brewer, Judy Neff. Throughout this tasting you will learn about both the science and creativity behind the brewing industry. The menu is predetermined by Judy in hopes to expand your pallet and understanding for each beer style.

Skip The Small Talk

Wednesday, March 27th
6:30-8:30PM

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.

There will be food and drinks for sale.
