Love Thy Beer is the must-attend event for any craft beer enthusiast during FeBREWary. Featuring exclusive, seasonal beer releases, Love Thy Beer is a wonderful winter gathering!
In the true spirit of FeBREWary, attendees get the opportunity to chat with the experts behind Maryland beer in an intimate setting while sampling incredible seasonal ales and lagers.
Love Thy Beer features a collection of Cupid's Curse releases brewed specifically for the month of FeBREWary. Each year, participating brewers are challenged to come up with their own individual "Cupid's Curse" release to taste. Attendees will then vote on their favorite and the winner will be announced at the end of the event.
