You can join us for a party at Chester River Brewing Company! These private, 21-and-over only, limited-ticket events provide you with:
- A behind-the-scenes look at our Brewery premises on tours led by Kevin Shertz (the Owner of the company),
- Direct access to the CRBC team for questions,
- Snacks and six tasters of our beers,
- A souvenir tasting glass emblazoned with the Chester River Brewing Company logo.
You can expect us to have on tap for these events:
Cream Ale: This style of beer is an "Ale" version of the common "Light Lager" style of beer (think: Budweiser, Miller, Coors.) Our version is made using only two-row malt and Saaz hops for a clean, crisp, lightly hopped, sligtly sweet taste and a creamy mouthfeel. Goes perfect with Maryland Blue Crabs, Shrimp, or other Eastern Shore traditional fare. If you're entirely new to craft beer, and don't know where to start, this is a good place to begin.
Belgian-Style Dubbel: Our version of this beer style features a nice balance of flavors from the addition of bitter orange peels and coriander seed during the boil phase. It has a distinct fruity and complex flavor that is derived from its Abbey Ale yeast.
Rye IPA: Our American IPA features the spicy flavor of rye and distinct aroma and flavors of Cascade hops. It's a well-balanced, flavorful version of the IPA style.
Oatmeal Stout: Our Oatmeal Stout features flaked oats, chocolate malt and roasted barley. You may detect notes of coffee in the flavor (that is a side effect of the roasting process of the grains.)
English-Style Bitter: Our "Best Bitter" class of this traditional style features Maris Otter malt with Fuggles hops.
Steam-Style Ale: An "accidental" discovery during the Gold Rush of 1849 era of our nation's history, this California Common style amber ale has generous amounts of Northern Brewer hops and is fermented using lager yeast at higher temperatures.
Merchandise and NanoGrowlers to-go will be available at our usual prices during the event time.
Miscelaneous Notes:
- For the safety of our guests, Last Call (the final chance to order a beverage) will occur at 9:10pm, and we will end the event at 9:30pm.
- Due to the limited size of our parking lot and for the safety of our guests, we encourage ride-sharing and alternate forms of transportation (bike, walk, etc.) to our premises. Plan ahead!
