Brewtherville Labs Homebrew Club
Brewtherville Labs founders, Michael and Stewie, met when preparing for a friendly head-to-head homebrew competition at a common friend's party in June 2012. Stewie had previously started up a small club that was focused more on drinking good beer than brewing it, and he proposed starting a club centered primarily upon brewing. Check out our interview with the Baltimore Sun and with Lutherville-Timonium Life.

Brewtherville Labs members are also proud members of the American Homebrewers Association
​
Brewtherville Labs started in September 2012 and the first “unofficial” meeting was held at Grand Cru on October 18, 2012. The first “official” meeting (i.e., members' dues were collected, elections were held, etc.) was on January 15, 2013 at Mt Washington Tavern. Several years later, we moved to Kent House Pub in Towson. After BC Brewery opened their doors in April of 2018 we made that our official club home where we meet on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:30pm.
BENEFITS:
Brewtherville Labs is dedicated to the fellowship and support of those who have an interest in brewing beer at home. We are committed to promoting the homebrewing hobby for ALL people: as such, the club aims to support the efforts of member brewers of every ability, background, culture, gender, race, age, and orientation.
