The Man with a Plan… and a Plan B

Mike McKelvin (graduate from McDaniel College ’88) has a knack for starting businesses right before the world falls apart. But with a little planning, a lot of heart, and a passion for community, he brought a new family-owned brewery to Carroll County in February 2020 — and not only survived, but thrived amid all the uncertainty of the year that followed. Now, he and his team are onto the next plan: expansion. Read more about Mike McKelvin and 1623 Brewing Company in the Spring 2021 issue of The Hill magazine here.
