2022 Year In Review from the 1623 Family
First, we cannot thank our community enough for the support — not just in 2022, but since we opened in 2020. Without each of you, this would not be possible! From sharing a pint with us in the taproom, to purchasing to-go beer! We appreciate this community and could not be more happy to be a part of it! Get ready for what 2023 will bring.
Here are a few highlights from 2022…
In 2022 we were proud to receive a silver medal at the Maryland Craft Beer Competition amongst stiff competition for our Maple Dopplebock, ‘Syrupstitious.’ This is our latest release along with Peanut Butter Honey Time. In addition, we will be releasing our Fruited Sour, ‘Boiler Blowdown’, Wednesday Dec. 21, to wrap up the 2022 season! By the end of 2022 we will have brewed a total of 25 different styles of beers along with 7 different flavors of seltzers, including our Non-Alcoholic Hop Tea.
Featured…
We have been fortunate enough to be featured in multiple podcasts including Baltimore Positive, 3beersdownpod, Beer & Conversation w/ Pigweed + Crowhill, among many others. We appreciate the opportunity to share a bit about our brews and passion!
Expanded offerings…
With this years implementation of ‘R&D @ 1623’, our permanent food truck, we have been able to create a more well rounded Happy Hour. Beer pairs best with burgers + wings and we will be continuing our Happy Hour throughout the new year! In case you haven’t heard, we have Happy Hour Specials from 2-6pm on Wednesday and Thursdays and from 12-4pm on Fridays. We hope you will join us!
Giving back…
We remain focused on our slogan — family owned, community driven. Our community is important to us and we are always looking for ways to give back. Throughout the year we have donated to several organizations, such as Pink Fling, Taste of Carroll, Rape Crisis of Carroll County, American Cancer Society, and many more.
Looking ahead…
As for 2023, we will kick off the year with our Cannoli Cowboy release with Vaccaro’s on Friday, January 6th. Towards mid 2023, we will be taking a twist on Salted Rim and turning it into a Strawberry Salted Rim. And we will be involved in a handful of private labels that are still in the works. We are excited to see what this New Year has in store for us here at 1623!
Cheers!
