SUMMARY:Sustainable Brewery Tour: An Ecological Design Collective Grounding
DESCRIPTION:Are you hankering for a pint of Baltimore-brewed beer? Are you curious about sustainable beers made with locally sourced ingredients? Join the Ecological Design Collective as we tour the Checkerspot Brewing Company and learn about their green beer-making practices (and of course sample some of their amazing beers afterward)! \n\n\n\nThe Checkerspot Brewery Company is well-known for its innovative use of local ingredients in its beer-making processes\, sourcing malts and spices from Maryland farms like Baugher’s in Reisterstown. The Brewery has also partnered with several local businesses and not-for-profits to promote sustainable food practices. They have crafted specialty beers out of excess crab shells from J. M. Clayton Seafood Company (Keeper’s Stout) and made beer with African Basil harvested from compost heaps by the Baltimore Compost Collective (B’more Kashi). Check out their current selection of locally crafted beers on their website. \n\n\n\nRSVP below to reserve a spot for the tour. Space is limited to 20 people. \n\n\n\nMeet our Tour Guide: \n\n\n\n\n\nJUDY NEFF \n\n\n\nOWNER & BREWER\n\n\n\nAs owner and brewer\, Judy is a longtime homebrewer living the dream. She is a Certified Cicerone and helped found Baltimore Beer Babes\, a craft beer appreciation group bringing more women into the fold and is a proud member of the Pink Boots Society. She has a PhD in microbiology from The Johns Hopkins School of Public Health\, so she isn’t afraid of the scientific side of brewing\, but firmly believes that the creative side and understanding of the ingredients are just as important. She loves all of the beers\, but Juniperus IPA is definitely the #1! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nItinerary: \n\n\n\nAt 5 pm we will meet inside the Checkerspot Brewing Company (1421 Ridgely St\, Baltimore\, MD 21230). From 5:10 pm to 6 pm Judy Neff\, owner and head brewer\, will give us a tour of the Brewery and answer questions about their beers. From 6 pm onward we will grab a table and sample some of Neff’s amazing local beers! Non-alcoholic drinks will also be available. First round is on the EDC:)  \n\n\n\nEvent Series: \n\n\n\nThis event is a continuation of the EDC’s 2024-25 itinerary for “Reimagining Land\,” anchored in a monthly series of “Groundings” that explore Baltimore’s ecology\, history\, and contemporary place-making efforts through experiential events.
